Needs and animals

Pet-sitting | Big garden | 2 Dogs | 2 Cats | Fish

Just looking for someone to keep our house tidy, shovel the snow on the deck and walkway. Non-smoking home. We have a beautiful yard that will most likely not need much work in the spring and some indoor plants that could benefit from watering. We have two dogs (one American Akita and one Husky mix), two cats and fish. Our dogs are friendly, well-mannered and not a lot of work. They like to hang out in the yard or in the house. As I am home during the day, they can't be left alone all day. The adult cat is an outdoor/indoor cat but the younger one stays indoor and is still quite playful. The fish are pretty easy to maintain with just daily feeding and turning on/off the light.

Authentic small-town living, quiet and convenient. The house is walking distance from basic amenities including a supermarket, doctor, local product shop and restaurants. More amenities including a hospital is located just 12 min away, there are two cities nearby (25 min drive) for more variety and Calgary International Airport is only 35 minutes away. It's highly recommended to have your own transportation as the village does not have public transport, just taxi services to the airport and neighbors towns. We could discuss borrowing our car. The house has a real cozy cabin feel with its wood burning stove, open room with the kitchen and large sitting area. The house is easy to live in and look after. The yard is fully fenced with a dog run and fire pit area for the warmer days. Plenty of street parking with room for RV.

Tourism and Leisure

Museum

The house is located less than two hours from the famous Rocky Mountains: go explore Banff National Park and the town, take a trip to Lake Louise Ski Resort (one of the largest and most scenic in North America) or the locals’ favorite, Kananaskis Country. Drumheller, “The Dinosaur capital of the World” is an hour away and exploring the countryside roads can lead you to beautiful sceneries. Out west you can explore the crown land and pine forests. For urban tourism, check out Calgary or Edmonton for their downtown, excellent restaurants, and museum.
