Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Hi all,

 

Hope you're well and enjoying summer!  I know my ladies certainly are - they love basking at every opportunity.

 

We're flying the coop for a couple weeks in August to visit my family in the Okanagan with our new daughter, and we're looking for the right kind of person to look after our place, two rambunctious cats, and three chickens and garden while we're away.  Anyone know anyone who would be suitable?  They need to be trustworthy, and ideally they'd have experience with chickens and cats.

 

The details:

 

We're hoping to be away July 31st through August 14th.

 

A sunny half duplex near 1st and Nanaimo, just a 5 min. walk to Commercial Drive, not far from Transit.  Small but productive kitchen garden, some of which will need watering frequently.

 

Two cats, Dempster and Miki, who run the show and chase each other inside and out endlessly.  They're both real characters and more like dogs than cats, so need someone who can keep up with them as they're frequently looking for trouble.  

 

Three chickens, Stella, Luna, and Ginger.  Fairly low-maintenance but do need coop cleaned every other day and feed and water daily.  Fresh eggs for you!  

 

If you or anyone you know might fit the bill, please let me know! 

 

Thanks,

-Kristi

Kristi,

If I'm in town I could do it (currently no plans to leave town, but that could change). I live on Commercial Drive, have two girls of my own (Cookie and Rosie), and have had a cat all my life. Also an experienced gardener.

 

If you find someone else, great, but know that I am here if you need me.

Wow, that's great, thank you Alyssa!  I'm just firming up our dates and will try to first find someone who would want to stay here (a bit easier for you rather than having to run up here a couple times a day) - but even if I do it might be great to have you stop in a couple times just to check the chickens in case the person we find isn't too familiar with them.

 

Regardless, hope to meet you one of these days!

 

Cheers, and once again thanks so much!  I'll be in touch.
