House/Dog Sitter wanted in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts!

About this assignment

Seeking a responsible, considerate dog-sitter who is interested in a week-long stay in Massachusetts this summer with two 15-year old Westies and a 6-year-old Boston lab. I would love to find someone who will treat my home and my pups like their own!

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

The house sitter will be responsible for feeding the dogs and ensuring that they go out in the fenced-in back yard when needed. The dogs are very healthy and active.. they enjoy walks and snuggling but are fairly low energy/low maintenance. The house sitter will also be asked to keep the house in order (as though it was your own).

What are the good features of the property and location

I think you'll love my 3 bedroom, 3 bath home ! The home has a hardwood floors throughout, a gas fireplace, granite countertops, big fenced in backyard with deck and fire pit, 2-car garage, washer/dryer in the basement. The house is on a main road but it is a very safe area without a ton of outside traffic. My neighbors are also amazing and available, if needed. In the off chance you need any additional help, my father is also right down the street. Mattapoisett is about 25-30 minutes to the top of Cape Cod.. Absolutely worth the drive to explore the oceanside towns further down the Cape! If you don't want to make the drive to the Cape, Mattapoisett has several town beaches just down the street! There are also various hiking trails to enjoy. Mattapoisett is also 30 minutes to Plymouth; 40 minutes to Providence and Newport, R.I. and an hour to Boston if you’re looking to experience some of MA and RI’s most popular destinations. I’ve created a visitor’s reference for additional information on the area.

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

House sitters must be comfortable with sitting for 3 dogs and must be willing to respect and care for the home as though it is their own. My house is located in a residential area about 8-10 minutes from
shopping centers. There is not public transportation other than Uber/Lift so a car would be necessary. Dogs are also allowed on the furniture..good luck trying to tell them otherwise! :) Ollie and Livvie are a youthful 15 but they do have occasional accidents (mostly Livvie). This is mostly only when she’s sleeping on the couch.. for this reason I try to limit her time on there. In the summer they spend a lot of time outside so this isn’t as common.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
