About this assignment

50+ and retired or working from home. Responsible, able to handle any reasonable situation involving a large home with pets, and unafraid of navigating life (and wildlife) in Central America.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

- Stay in the house
- Walk the dogs 1-2 times daily (great walking path through the neighborhood with super views and almost no traffic)
- Feed the dogs
- Enjoy the area
- keep the plants watered
- interact with maid and gardener as needed and pay them weekly

What are the good features of the property and location

- 1400 m / 4200 ft elevation so no AC or heat, windows open almost all the time
- wide open space with incredible views of the central valley
- swimming pool
- mostly quiet except for wildlife and occasional city sounds
- Super circular road for a nice long walk (1 mile) with very little traffic.
- Wildlife preserve with trails in our development
- fully gated and very secure community
- great neighbors
- we allow use of our car as needed

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

- Not far from downtown San Jose and Escazu (~ 10 miles each), but can take a while in a car if you wish to visit each
- far enough from the city of Santa Barbara that walking to town isn't really convenient. Uber is inexpensive and usually available.

Can I bring my own pets?

Yes
Restrictions: We can discuss
