Housesitting in Brockville

Bedürfnisse und Tiere

Tiere hüten | 2 Katzen

We feed the cats a small amount of wet food twice per day, scoop their litter once per day, and make sure they have fresh water and dry food at all times. They are quite independent with new humans, but if you give them space they will probably start asking for cuddles within a few days. Diesel likes to play fetch! They like to go outside during the day when the weather is nice (spring, summer, fall). We keep them inside at night and in the winter.

We’re looking for a cat-lover to take care of our 2 mellow kitties, Tesla and Diesel, while we’re away. Brockville is an adorable small town, the gateway to the 1000 islands. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Our house is in a quiet and safe historic area, 3 blocks from the St Lawrence river. Everything in the downtown core is accessible within 5-15 minutes’ walk including parks, cafes, pubs, restaurants, a library, a supermarket and other shops. There are walking trails and several public parks along the river. Perfect for 1-4 people who work remotely or just want some quiet time away from the city. The house is a side-by-side duplex built in 1875, with a nice couple living next door in the other unit. Our place has plenty of old-world charm including original molding and refinished original flooring, but with modern updates like new windows, central AC and a smart thermostat. The layout of our home is over 3 floors, but everything you need is on the first two. On the ground floor: living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, one full bathroom. On the next floor are one full bathroom and three bedrooms: one master bedroom with …

On the next floor are one full bathroom and three bedrooms: one master bedroom with a king-size bed, one guest room with a double bed and desk, one office. Our home is about 2000 square feet / 185 square meters, excluding the top floor. The top floor has 800 square feet of loft-like space including a TV room. Yes, there is good wifi, about 400Mbps :-) The town may be small but it's a hub for the surrounding rural area and has almost every service you could need within less than a 10-minute drive: supermarkets, pharmacies, a hospital (just a few blocks from home), a cinema, stores for just about anything you might need, restaurants and fast food, even some big box stores like Winners, Home Depot, Sport Chek, Walmart, Staples, etc. Please let us know if you’re interested- we can chat and plan a Skype call to meet and show you the house.

The house is in the historic area of Brockville (22 000 inhabitants). We’re on a quiet street, just 3 blocks from the St Lawrence river and a 5-10 minute walk from many parks, pubs, restaurants, the public library, cafes and shops. If you like to walk, there are many nice destinations either along the river or through historic neighborhoods with lots of interesting homes.

Tarnos, France - April 2024

Première expérience de house sitting et quelle réussite! Veadra et Bastien ont été des hôtes formidables et leurs deux chats adorables. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été chaleureusement accueilli et mis à l'aise. Ils nous ont tout expliqué en détail et répondu à toutes nos questions. Veadra a été exceptionnelle avec ma fille. Leur maison était impeccable et j'ai pu profiter pleinement de mon séjour. Un grand merci pour votre confiance et votre gentillesse. J'ai beaucoup apprécié faire votre connaissance et j'espère que nous garderons contact. En résumé, je recommande vivement Veadra et Bastien pour vos besoins de house sitting. Vous ne serez pas déçus! Et une mention spéciale pour Karen ainsi que toutes les personnes adorables que l'on a pu rencontrer à Brockville et qui vont nous manquer

D'emblée, Veadra et Bastien sont très gentils. Ils savent nous faire se sentir comme chez nous. Ils sont très disponibles et faciles à joindre, et expliquent très bien ce que l'on a à faire pendant leur absence. Les deux chattes sont attachantes, même si Tesla a son caractère, on réussit quand même à l'approcher pendant qu'elle mange. La maison est située dans un vieux quartier pittoresque, et surtout très tranquille. Petite ville remplie de petites découvertes, avec ses musées, l'aquarium, sa marina et le fameux tunnel ferroviaire. Et que dire des très longues marches pour découvrir l'architecture de ses belles maisons de toutes époques. J'ai adoré mon séjour.....10 jours plein de petits bonheurs.
