East Tennessee nature house

About this assignment

Kind, honest, liberal responsible human who loves nature and pets. I have one dog and one cat. My home is in the county and garbage and recycling need to be taken out. We have composting on site.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Feed and care for 2 pets - dog/cat door so no cat litter - both pets come and go. Take care of house.There is a pond with fish who need to be fed a few times a week. There is a hot tub so you will need to add some chemicals occasionally.

What are the good features of the property and location

Very private yet close to hiking trails, single track bike trails, rivers, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the city of Knoxville, TN., The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, lots of porch space (covered and uncovered), an extra strawbale house/play house. Large fenced yard. Home is on 20 acres.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

The dog is 74 pounds- very sweet, but afraid of thunder storms and fireworks or gunshots. The house is down a long driveway and private from neighbors. A car would be helpful, but with planning Uber or Lift etc. can be used. You will need to take out your garbage and recycling, but we will tell you where to take it. We are Vegetarian and ask you not to cook meat in our pots and pans, but we don’t care if you eat meat. The pets do.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
