About the role
WeekAway Management operates a curated portfolio of luxury short-term rental properties in Canmore, Alberta. We're looking for a reliable local caretaker to be our eyes and ears on the ground — someone who takes quiet pride in keeping things in excellent shape.
You'll work directly with the owner — no middle management, no bureaucracy. This role starts with two properties and is expected to grow as the portfolio expands, bringing more responsibility and income with it.
What you'll do
Weekly walk-throughs — check lights, heat, tidiness, and overall condition (~15 min each)
Monthly inspection — thorough check against a checklist covering appliances, plumbing, wear and tear, and supplies
Receive deliveries — coffee, Amazon, occasional Canadian Tire runs; drop off at nearby storage
Minor fixes — lightbulbs, breakers, batteries, loose hardware, and resetting homes after cleaners
Meet tradespeople — check in on painters, cleaners, and contractors on-site when needed
Light assembly — occasional setup of small items like luggage racks or décor
Compensation
$750–$1,000/month flat rate — no timesheets, no tracking (~$75/hr equivalent)
Busier months with extra tasks are compensated accordingly
Annual performance bonus for people who show up and make it work
All materials and expenses always reimbursed — you're never out of pocket
Estimated hours: ~10–13 hrs/month, up to 16 in busy months.
Requirements
Lives in Canmore, Banff, or the Bow Valley
Reliable smartphone with Slack, WhatsApp, and camera
Responds to messages in a timely fashion
Punctual, detail-oriented, and organized
Able to follow checklists and instructions
Keeps receipts and communicates professionally
Bonus if you...
Have property management experience
Are handy with furnace filters, lightbulbs, batteries, and basic hardware
Own your own tools
This role is a great fit if you...
Have a flexible job and want a reliable $750–$1,000/month side income that doesn't disrupt your life
Already live locally and know Canmore well
Understand what "luxury standard" means and take quiet pride in maintaining it — even when nobody's watching
Prefer working directly with an owner over layers of management
Want something long-term, not a one-off gig
