About this assignment

We would like to find a friendly, responsible person (or a couple), who is a dog-lover, quiet, who will keep a clean house and is non-smoking.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Taking out trash. Keeping in touch with us. Cody, our 11-month-old , 70 pound Golden Retriever, is a delight, but needs lots of exercise. We take him for 3-4 long walks a day. It's a lot, but we have a big field behind our house and parks and beaches nearby.

What are the good features of the property and location

This is a 2100 sq ft, 2-bedroom house in a semi-rural area with decks, views and lots of off-road open space. There are two full baths, a massage chair and a hot tub. We live among redwoods, vineyards and apple orchards and there are dozens of wineries and breweries close by. For shopping and restaurants, the town of Sebastopol, CA, is a 10 minute drive. Likewise, 20 minutes to the Sonoma coast beaches.

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

No public transport so a car is necessary. Cody needs lots of exercise and he's strong, so you need to be able to keep up with him. If you need to go out without him he can be put in his crate for a few hours, He often sleeps between walks, but when awake he'll want to be around you most of the time.

Beautiful Area

Pet/house sitting for Robert and Golden Reggie was great as the area is so beautiful. We missed Reggie immediately upon leaving - he really is so sweet. Loves his carrot treats! Robert and Mary Lou left great instructions and neighbors were available to help out when needed. Beach close by, Santa Rosa minutes away, good food and shops closeby in town. Good sit, recommended. Thanks Robert and Mary Lou.

You’ll want to stay longer!

My husband and I had such a lovely stay at Robert and Mary Lou’s well appointed and comfy home beautifully situated in the hilly neighborhood overlooking Sebastopol and Santa Rosa. They equipped us with detailed notes to make for a super efficient handover. Mary Lou has nurtured a gorgeous and delicious garden “buffet” that was enjoyed, as well. We had wonderful walks with the most chill Lab in the world, Reggie, who enjoyed our company and belly rubs very much. We truly do wish we could’ve stayed longer! We’ll definitely come back when in the area again.
