I want to thank Dianne for giving me the guest house to explore Victoria through her volunteer and for trusting me, even though it was my first volunteer experience on this platform. This volunteer was from May 31 to June 21, and I'd like to wrap it up in these points: - Most of the activities were easy tasks, such as housekeeping and maintenance around her house - The communication with Dianne was excellent. However, I recommend always asking when you have a doubt and taking the initiative to propose new ideas. She's really open on that - The food and accommodation were really good 😊

Diane's house is the perfect place to explore Victoria. It's a short walk from the donwtown and the sea.
If you enjoy hiking, it's the place for you. During my stay, we did several routes and trips which allowed me to explore the island.
My chores vary from housekeeping, taking care of the kittens and maintenance on the house and vans so every day is different and never gets boring.
The schedules are not defined and vary depending on the workload, so there are days when more hours are done and others less.
My room was private and very cozy
You will fall in love with the vans and the cats.

Volunteering with Dianne was grounding and meaningful. Daily tasks include feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning and giving love to the cats — each with a unique personality. The room is simple but comfortable, and the calm nature around the house gives you space to reflect and be yourself. Dianne is resilient and caring, and her dedication to the cats and her work is inspiring. A great place if you love animals and want a peaceful, responsible experience.

My experience with Dianne was mixed. While she can be generous, letting volunteers borrow her van for a trip to Tofino and taking us hiking and out for sandwiches, the agreed conditions were not always respected. I worked two 10-hour days moving mattresses and furniture, which was not what I signed up for, and I only received one day off per week despite the listing advertising two. Communication was often challenging, and I was shouted at on two occasions. I frequently felt like I was walking on eggshells due to unclear expectations and the overall work environment.

Thanks for your honest feedback and it is super hard to work with people that say they have housecleaning skills and actually have none. Yes there are some long days and then others are short which is the balance. Days off can be taken any time and must be requested as every day is different and the schedules can change from day to day. Being here requires a level of flexibility and a willingness to go with the flow. Not for people who require a rigid set schedule.

If you enjoy peaceful surroundings and nature, this place is perfect. My first volunteering experience was with Dianne, and it was really great. She's super welcoming and made sure I felt comfortable with the work and during my free time. In my downtime, she took me hiking and to some the guest house natural spots, which made the experience even better. If you're into calm environments and nature, I'd definitely recommend this place.
