| Two Jack Russell dogs |
House sitting is a service that brings great joy and comfort to Frank and me. Our new location is on a forty-acre parcel of land approximately three kilometres outside of Courtenay, British Columbia.
We are caring for five animals including two Jack Russell dogs, one Ragdoll cat, and two African Grey parrots all living in a well-kept two-bedroom ranch style home.
Today, we are spending the day with the homeowners to learn how to follow their routines with the animals, the treatment of the fireplace which is the main source of heat for the entire house, when to water the plants, where to leave food for the local wildlife, which cleaning products to use for what, when and where to pick up the mail and the name of the primary go-to person in case of an emergency.

What we’ve learnt so far is that the dogs are fed twice a day, at breakfast and supper; the cat also eats twice a day; the birds are fed once a day. There are outdoor and indoor plants and while the outdoor plants don’t require any special care, the indoor plants are watered about every week or so. The homeowners are so dedicated to their indoor and outdoor environments that they have loads of wild-bird seed for the adorable daily visitors to their property. What a magnificent list of duties we have. We are ready, willing and able to handle one chore at a time.
