Happy One Year Anniversary

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Last December we left our condominium in Vancouver, BC and set out to housesit for two months. We were then going to buy a small home in Powell River or somewhere on the Sunshine Coast of BC.

One year later we are still house and petsitting. We have stayed in more than 12 people's homes and have looked after more than 18 different animals in that time.

We have enjoyed the communities of Powell River, Sechelt, Halfmoon Bay, Roberts Creek, Comox, Cowichan Bay, Lake Cowichan, Sooke, Metchosin, Vancouver and still have a few more months booked in Gibsons, Powell River and White Rock.

We are not sure how long we will continue to do this, somewhere along the line we will probably buy a home, but not yet.

So for today, Paul and I are the Accidental HouseSitters, that couple who are gallivanting around the coast, looking after homes and animals for free in exchange for your friendship and hospitality.

Where We Have Stayed So Far

All of our housesits have been on the Sunshine Coast of BC, just a ferry ride away from Vancouver, or over on Vancouver Island, a longer ferry ride away from Vancouver.
