About this assignment
We need some last-minute help! Our house caring plan didn't happen as planned. Can you help us out, Adventurers, Nomads, Writers, Artists, Seekers? Those looking for a quiet, peaceful place to just be and do, while taking care of minor chores in our rental home in Tucson, Arizona for about 4 months, June 15th through October 16th.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
This is a relatively easy housesit! We have no pets. We need someone to water our plants indoors and outdoors, and get the mail and forward anything requiring our attention. The apartment complex has a good maintenance team should any concerns arise. We are still in the process of moving in, so there may be an unpacked box or two in the "spare room." There is a dedicated guest room.
What are the good features of the property and location
Our home is a rental home, a freestanding apartment with no shared walls. A walled backyard provides privacy. We are located in the Catalina Foothills area of Tucson about a half mile from Sabino Canyon recreation area. There are abundant hiking and biking opportunities if you are so inclined. Tucson is a university town with a diverse population and many shopping and dining locations. There is a pool at the property.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
This is a fairly quiet neighborhood, so a housesitter should be willing to be respectful of our neighbors. This is a smoke-free complex as well. Your own vehicle would be best, although we do have an old pickup truck (with NO air conditioning!)
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Testimonials
This past summer I was invited to sit at Kris and Russ's circle H ranch. They have a lovely home and property, great hiking and exploring potential. I will admit it's not for everyone.. it's very remote and no tv and internet connection could be difficult for most, On the flip side of that I was thrilled to "unplug", and truly appreciate the little things, the flowers blooming, the humming birds, wild pigs (javelina), snakes and spiders and deer. Kris and Russ have a had numerous sitters over the years so have a pretty extensive knowledge of what you would need to know and try very hard to anticipate your needs and questions, as well caution you what to expect so not to mislead you if you decide to sit. Their home is comfortable with a library That could put some real library's to shame, incredible selection Fortunately I am an avid reader, and hiker. I can say my days went by fairly quickly it may be because I looked forward to spectacular sunsets at the end of each day. Thank you Kris and Russ for letting me "stop the world and jump off" for a few months.

Wonderful Opportunity to Relax and Unwind
Really enjoyed my time this past summer housesitting for Kris and Russ. As was working on a book the quiet calm and wonderful views added to the positive writing experience. Saw SO many wonderful animals just through the front windows! Mule deer to road runners as well as multiple types of rabbits and crawly critters too. Hummingbirds could be heard on the wrap around porch daily as well. Town is nearby for all your needs and short, enjoyable drives to other local touristy stops as well. Their home is the cutest loft style cabin with ample amounts of sunshine, monsoon breezes and the most amazing sunsets to snap photos of. Enjoyed making yummy meals in the open layout kitchen, LOTS of reading catch up and movies gallore. Thanks for having me!
