We are looking for a house and pet sitter for this October for a little more than 3 weeks. Our pets are an older, very mellow Black Lab named Jack and a grey short haired cat named Foxy. Both require very little maintenance. Jack would like a short walk every day and Foxy will just stay inside. We live in a townhome that requires no outside maintenance. The interior has modern appliances and conveniences. We have cable TV and wireless internet. Truckee is a small ski town in the North Lake Tahoe area about 13 miles from Lake Tahoe,one of the most picturesque alpine lakes in the U.S. Our townhome is about 100 yards from the Truckee River where there is a nice paved walking/bike trail that goes about 6 miles along the river. We are just a short walk/drive from nice restaurants and shops. October is a perfect time because there are few tourists but the snow has not yet fallen and you can enjoy hiking and biking during the day.
