We are looking for a house sitter in September to take care of our two small dogs along with some usual housesitting tasks (put out the garbage, water the plants, etc.). The dogs need play time and cuddles. They do not need to be walked outside the house - just exercise in the house or out in the yard. Since we are retired (and teleworked before that), they are used to people being around most of the time, but can be left on their own for 5-6 hours.
We are looking for experienced, non-smoking individuals or couples with outstanding reviews. No additional pets, please.
Our home is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood and is clean, spacious, and comfortable. We have a lovely backyard with a gazebo and seating area. The basement has gym equipment (treadmill, Bowflex, elliptical, rowing machine, and free weights). We have heating, air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, large TV with streaming services, dishwasher, and washer & dryer. You will stay in our guest room (queen-size bed).
Portland (aka "River City") has a lot to offer with many, many restaurants (food carts are a big deal here), museums, hiking, kayaking, history, and much more. The "Trolley Trail" is located just one block from our house - a paved, multi-use trail for walking/biking.
Thanks for considering our home. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
