We have a acreage home with decking and a large driveway. that needs to be kept clear of snow. No pets to look after so away over night is ok but not more then two nights at a time. You will need a vehicle as I do not have one to leave. A garage is available for vehicle. House is 2 storey with two bedrooms up and one in basement all queen beds. We would like sitters to use basement bedroom and adjoing bath. Master is on the main floor and I prefer it not be used.
We truck our water (one hundred and eighty dollars pr load) which lasts about one month for a couple with moderate conservation and I would require the sitter to pay for this.
House has alarm system, good internet, satilite TV x2 with pvr ,mostly maintence free hot tub, close to Edmonton on paved roads.
Area is great for winter hiking, next to a open treed area and close to river valley. Closest town is Devon which has grocery, drug stores, hospital, chiropractor, hair salons etc. Rabbit Hill for beginner to intermediate skiing is 15 minutes away. Jasper with mountain skiing is 4 hrs away. Edmonton 20 minutes away has all ammenties.
Your own DOG would be acceptable as long as they are not allowed on furniture or beds. A large fenced yard and walking areas near by.
