We are looking for a house-sitter for 2 weeks in January 2014 while we take vacation. We have a 7 yr old black lab called Holly and a 7 yr old beagle called Maya. They are friendly dogs - both love people and are not high maintenance. We have a large house on the Crowe River - 45 minutes east of Peterborough just north of Hwy 7. We also run a small office in the basement of our home and have one person who will come into work on some weekdays while we are away. The office is quiet and self-contained so the rest of the lower floor can be used - TV room and fitness suite, while Sandra is in the office. There is also a cleaning lady who comes in once a week to keep the place tidy.
All we want is someone to take care of the dogs, take them for a daily walk and keep them company.
This will suit a single person or couple looking for a quiet, rural location with good technology - hi speed internet, satellite TV, a hot tub and fitness suite.
We had a very successful house sit this year and hope to do this again.
