Halifax

Lesley

Hello! I am looking for a housesitter to look after my happy-go-lucky 4 year old Standard Poodle, Fiain. I live in a beautiful home surrounded by woods, with walking paths in the forest around my home, as well as along the nearby oceanfront. I am located across the street from beautiful St. Margaret's Bay, only 10 minutes from the rugged and iconic village of Peggys Cove. The house has an infrared sauna which you are welcome to use. Fiain loves his twice daily walks and playing fetch. My home is clean and comfortable with lots of big windows from which to watch the sunset and bask in the quiet of the natural environment surrounding the house. I have a woodstove, so you can cozy up in front of the woodstove on a snowy winter's evening, a cool Fall evening, or a wet Spring day. I have a 2.5 acre property, which includes a creek for a very invigorating dip if you are into cold dipping (maybe after the sauna?), and a screened-in gazebo beside the creek to sit in and read or write or just listen to the rushing water. Fiain is an exceptionally good dog who is great off leash, comes when called, is cuddly and loving, and needs no special care except to be loved, fed and walked.

Housesitting Fiain for Lesley was an incredible experience. Fiain, with his childlike innocence and sweet disposition, was a joy to care for—whether he was in trail-companion mode or cuddling on the couch. Lesley was a dream host, providing a thorough guide and maintaining great communication throughout the sit. We even had a wonderful hike together, which helped establish a relationship between us, and between Fiain and I. Lesley's home is stunning—airy, clean, and comfortable, with everything ... MORE
 
ANNA-MARIA (Jul 2024 - 1 week)
- Fiain is a very pleasant, easy-going dog. He loves to play and is very friendly. He listens and obeys very well. We had a lot of fun with him. - Lesley is very cool person, the meeting with her was very smooth. All the information you will need, is written down by her. Also, during the stay, we were regularly in contact with her. She will make sure that you will be comfortable at her place. - The house is well located, with plenty of trails to walk with the dog, forest all around. There ... MORE
 
FLORENTINE & ROMAIN (May 2024 - 2 weeks)
We spent over 2 weeks with Fiain. Lesley is a wonderful person. She took the time to write up a list of information we may have needed while she was away and showed us all around her beautiful house and yard and took us through one of the trails that leads out of the back of her yard. That trail connects to the campground next door in one direction and goes on for miles in the other. Lesley left a list of friends and neighbours to contact if we needed any help. She also kept in contact with us ... MORE

Thanks so much, Heather and Rick! Likewise, you took wonderful care of Fiain and my home. It was such a relief! Lesleu
Lesley lives in a beautiful coastal area of Nova Scotia and my stay there was wonderful (with the exception of a wildfire happening not too far away - a rare occurrence.) Lesley was vey welcoming, well organized, and helpful, keeping in regular contact during her travels. Her dog Fiain is highly intelligent and affectionate. He loves walks, chasing balls, and cuddling on the couch in the evening. Lesley's home and property are large and beautiful, with multiple gardens and a forest with great ... MORE
