Petsitter wanted for a young Mexican dog in beautiful Ucluelet

About this assignment

We are looking for a dog savvy, tidy pet lover. Ideally with some training experience. A person or couple that loves cuddly dogs. He prefers the female energy. But really we are just looking for someone that can bond with him and make him feel comfortable while we are away.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

We are looking for someone to walk and feed the dog 2x a day. Be around the home a bit, so that he is not left alone for long periods. We have a few house plants that would also require sporadic watering. And a terrarium of snails that like food scraps or moss greenery from outside.

What are the good features of the property and location

This is the ideal location for anyone that loves the outdoors, hiking, surfing, wildlife viewing and storm watching. We live within walking distance of the wild pacific trail, as well as most of the amenities in town.

Also we live in a rainforest. Come expecting some rainy days. But good news if you’re coming from elsewhere in Canada, we receive very little to no snowfall here on the west coast.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

Pancho is 3 years old, he needs someone that can take charge, but also offer him kindness. He takes a bit to warm up to people, but food is the short cut to his heart. He is a medium sized dog, quite strong for his size. He will pull on the leash when he spots cats, deer and certain dogs, so it is important to have a firm hold. He can be quite nervous and is spooked by big trucks and motorcycles and sometimes umbrellas and people in hats. Inside the home he feels safe and is fairly relaxed. He generally enjoys naps on his chair and watching cats at the window.
He does get along with some other dogs, and has been happy to have a sitter with a dog friend in the past. If this is the case, It would be up to the sitter to make sure the dogs meet and get along beforehand.

We would cover the housing but request that the sitter pay for utilities used.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
