We live on the northeast side of Gull Lake, in Central Alberta and are looking for a single or couple, experienced with dogs, to care for 2 doxies from June 17, 2024 (your arrival date) until July 18 or 19
The house is in a subdivision with only 4 other homes and is about 30 minutes from Lacombe, Ponoka or Rimbey and about 45 minutes north of Red Deer. You would definitely need a car as we are quite rural. Use of our vehicle can be arranged, if you have a valid driver's license. The views southwest, over the lake, are gorgeous and the Rocky Mountains are beautifully profiled against the setting sun. Edmonton is hours north. Calgary is 2 hours south.
The first dog in the lineup is Toby, a 11 year old tweenie longhaired male. He's an odd duck. Very shy and easily startled but turns into a different dog when out on a walk.And finally Max, a 11 year old smoothcoat dapple tweenie male. All are rescue dogs. Max's fosters did not tell us he was a marker and he now must wear a diaper during the day. All dogs are crated at night. They are all on a raw diet and do not require any medications.
We have a tv (but no cable), fibre optic internet and a landline. An easy to care for hot tub is on the back deck and we have 2 kayaks available for your use (in summer). The boat launch is about 2 kilometres away.
Duties are keeping the house clean, watering a few indoor and deck plants and of course loving the wieners. They enjoy being out on the back deck with company.
If you love peace and quiet, watching deer, fox and coyote off the back deck and starwatching from the hot tub, give us a shout. You must also be a non-smoker and have references.
