We are looking for someone, preferably a couple, to house sit our home in Henderson, Nevada. The house sitting includes the care of two full-grown cats. The time frame is for the entire months of April - June We will be in Mexico for that period.
Henderson is a suburb of Las Vegas. The house is about 6 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. The strip has (of course) casinos, entertainment of all sorts (Broadway type shows, theater, you name it), and world class restaurants. There is a “neighborhood casino”, Sunset Station, about 1 mile away. Although the house is close to Vegas, it is located in a quiet neighborhood. If Vegas nightlife is not your thing, the city of Henderson offers a lot of quieter pastimes. There are several parks within walking/bicycle distance. There are two Henderson city recreation centers (both with pools) within 3 miles. There are 8 golf courses in Henderson and about 25 more in the Las Vegas area. Other outdoor activities in the area include Red Rock Canyon (sightseeing, hiking and rock climbing), Mt. Charleston (camping and hiking), and Lake Mead (boating, fishing, camping, and hiking).
The house is a 2-story, 4 bedroom, 2 ¾ bath stucco, with Dish Network and wireless internet. There will be space to park 1 medium sized car in the garage. The patio in the back yard is great for relaxing and barbequing (gas grill). Everything you will need is in the house (furniture, appliances, dishes, washer, dryer, etc).
What would be required from the sitters:
Care of the house - normal cleaning/maintenance (what you would do at your house).
Care for the yard – grass mowing and edging with weed eater (it takes me about 45 minutes), and maintenance of the sprinkler system (usually have to replace/repair 1 or 2 sprinkler heads during a summer). All equipment (mower/weed eater/sprinkler parts) supplied.
Care for 2 full grown house cats (Rat Boy and Baby Girl)– feed, water, clean litter box (daily)
Check mail and forward (via ) utility amounts.
Contact us if major repairs are required (for example the water heater fails)
What we will be responsible for:
All the normal utilities to include cable and internet.
Food and litter for the cats and veterinary expenses (if required).
