This Great Adventure

65+, Gardener/Florist

Hi Folks,

Are you ready to travel? Maybe I can ease your worries on homefront.

I’m in Victoria for the winter catching up with family, especially my young grandson.

There is availability from February 24 to April 24.
Preference for downtown James Bay and Fairfield, Sidney…
Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Reliable and resourceful, I'm a friendly quiet person with clean habits and a healthy lifestyle ( non-smoker, vegetarian ). I have always sought out and enjoyed the company of animals, and the feeling seems to be mutual. Lately I’ve discovered that having no pets to look after can also be a positive experience (; and remain open to such opportunities.

Earliest adventures as a registered house- sitter were set on a park-like acreage in Calgary, not far from my eldest son and his new family. Complete with 2 big dogs and 2 cats, it was an idyllic summer and an auspicious start to a new life-style spanning almost a decade.

Since then, many pets in safe keeping have required extra special attention and/or medication. The animal care aspect of this job is much more rewarding than anticipated.

As a homeowner for over 30 years, I remain alert to negative changes in a building or landscape, prepared to troubleshoot, and confident in dealing with the trades.

Your home, plants, and most importantly, your pets, will be well taken care of so that you can really relax and enjoy your holiday.

Keeping in touch until you're comfortable is so easy these days; I will be available as you request.

For more information, photos, and 5-star reviews, don't hesitate to send me a message here so that I can share them with you.

Thanks,

Valerie

Valerie did a last minute house sit for me and looked after Shelby my 27 yr old amazon parrot during my 5 weeks away.. Very grateful that she was able to do that. Shelby was well looked after, and my place was as I had left it. I can easily recommend Valerie as a house/pet sitter. Thanks Valerie.

Valerie has been the best person to make us feel trusting and have peace of mind for our first experience with housesitting and especially that we were going away for 4 months. The house was clean and the plants thriving! Thanks a lot Valerie!
 
CAROLE ( British Columbia, Nov 2023 - 4 months 1 week)
Valerie stayed in our home and watered our garden for six weeks during the summer drought of 2023. We came home to a beautifully clean house and thriving garden. We recommend Valerie to take great care of your home.

Valerie is very nice and respectfull. The house was clean and my cat Café was very lucky to have such a great sitter for him.
 
ISABELLE ( Quebec, Jul 2021 - 2 weeks 4 days)
It was such a pleasure having Val look after our home and our Bunno for three weeks over Christmas. Val is calm and completely capable. She took everything in her stride and kept in regular contact with us during her stay. She had Bunno figured out within the first week and our bun was relaxed and happy when we returned home. Thanks so much Val for making our time away so relaxing and carefree. You're welcome back anytime!

No rating I recommend Valerie. Lovely person who took good care of our cats and house. It was so nice to return to a clean and tidy house - just as we left it. I have know Valerie for almost 2 months and in my experience, she is reliable and honourable. Five stars *****

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and potted plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
