We are seeking dog/house sitter(s)for the period of August 22 to September 6.
Our requirements are simple: taking our dog -- a gentle, 12 year old, laid-back mutt -- for a daily unleashed hike through the woods surrounding our house and ensuring he is fed.
Our house is located mid-way between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. It is in a semi- rural area with most houses, including ours, situated on 5 wooded acres, offering privacy, beauty and quietness, yet close proximity to museums, outdoor and cultural activities, as well as shopping. The house is within a 5 minute walk from our backyard to Patuxent State Park, an undeveloped state park, where our dog loves to run free. There are owls, heron, beaver, river otter, deer, fox and other animals in the park. There are also nice places along the river to paddle within a few miles.
Our home has 3 bedrooms, a great big modern kitchen, large deck, and high speed wifi.
We've had great luck with House Carers sitters in the past and sitters have enjoyed both our dog and our home.
