We need a very reliable house sitter to take care of our gentle and loving 8-year-old cat and to live in our custom house for three months. The house has two bedrooms (both with television/satellite/VCR/DVD), a fully-equipped study, and high-speed wireless Internet throughout. There is also a separate historic building on the property set up as another office. The house has 2 ½ baths, a custom kitchen, and many other amenities.
Situated on a long, paved driveway back from the road, the house is centrally located on 20 acres and surrounded by numerous trees. Additionally a large, undeveloped hill (comprising 350 acres) rises in back of the house. The house has a finished garage (which will be available to park your car), large deck, patio, barbecues, and landscaping. A fully automatic sprinkler system makes for minimal outdoor tasks. For security there is a telephone-controlled automatic gate, automatic garage doors, and a security/alarm system. We have friends and neighbors who are very familiar with our property and willing to help should the need arise. If you like wildlife you can watch deer, and occasionally golden eagles, from the dining room, and at night you may hear coyotes singing in the valley. A mountain lake at about 6,000 ft. elevation is located two miles away.
Sitter will need to have their own car. Good references are also a requirement.
