I'm feeling really stressed because my previous house sitter just quit on me last minute to move out of town, and now I'm scrambling to find someone reliable for next week.
We live in a three-bedroom townhouse complex near Metrotown, and it's mostly a low-key job, but I really need someone to commit to the whole duration.
You’d be responsible for making sure the mail is brought in daily, rotating the lights inside so it looks like someone is home, and generally keeping an eye on things, especially since we’re heading into a wetter time of year in Burnaby and I worry about the gutters overflowing.
The main tasks are just about maintenance and security, not much heavy work.
I need someone to water the indoor plants every three days—they are mostly tropical varieties and need careful attention, so please don't overwater them.
Also, the two cats need feeding twice a day, morning and evening, and their litter box needs scooping every day; they are very friendly but quite shy at first.
This is a crucial job because we are traveling for a family emergency, and knowing our home and pets are cared for would take a huge load off our minds; this isn't my first time hiring help, but it's the first time I’ve been left in a bind like this.
Thanks so much! You’d be a lifesaver!
