WisdomWatcher

64, Semi-retired

Hello/Bonjour.... a single, mature male, who loves all pets, livestock, and poultry.

I have previously lived on a rural, three acre hobby farm, on Vancouver Island, for several years. Boarded a horse, raised poultry (layers and meat birds), also had goats, geese, and ducks. Two dogs, one a working livestock guardian dog (LGD), and five cats rounded out the menagerie.

I love to walk for my own benefits, and it's a special bonus, when I have four legged friends to join in. On a beach or mountain, in a forest, through a field, along the water, all bring joy!

Life experiences include (not exclusive), banking/technology (retired), viticulture/winery, construction, and many active volunteer positions. I'm handy around house and property, with an ability to find creative solutions to any issues, with the full respect and trust, for your home.

Open to rural and urban locations, for any type of sitting required.

Passions include photography, cooking, gardening/horticulture /aquaculture.

I do not smoke. Have had three Covid vaccinations.

Strong and fit, with abilities to work in any tough Canadian winter conditions and terrain ( I attribute to my Nordic lineage).

Tractor, safety certification and experience, including clearing snow.

I have had canine obedience training experience with a true dog whisperer (she was magic with a pack!).

Looking forward to be of service, for you, and your very special animals.

I am also available for farmer respite services.

Thank you for your interest in my abilities.

Namaste

Gord was a great house & pet sitter. He cleared snow with our Kubota tractor, kept the wood stove going, walked the fence line daily to make sure my horse was safely sequestered on the property. The cats behaved like we never left. We picked up Gord at the airport and left him our SUV to use during his stay. He also dropped us at the airport and picked us up upon return. We would definitely use his services again and he is always welcome in our home. We highly recommend Gord as a trustworthy ... MORE
