We have 2 small cabinas (2 bedroom, 1 bath with hot water and washer/dryer in each) on the North West side of Lake Arenal, Costa Rica that need looking after while we go to Brooklyn NY for our daughter's wedding this September We plan to be gone for aprox. 16 days (no airfare purchased as yet, but probably 12th to 26th.) Most important is the care of our big, active, kind, smart 6 yr old mix bread doggy, Ali Bobby. And, our independent, treat lovin' 8 yr old kitty, Bisqit. Our homes have a big tropical garden between them with lots of fruit trees, plants and birds to enjoy. We are willing to offer an additional weeks stay in one of our cabinas for you to travel and see Costa Rica either before or after we return since it will not be possible to do so and take care of our pets at the same time. Short day trips to the lake and waterfalls, etc are OK but our pets need attention at least twice a day for meals/treats and to walk Ali Bobby. We have awesome neighbors and are close to the bus stop with regular service. The weather is ideal between degrees all the time with scattered rain off and on. We just retired here and have not spent a September here but so far it's lovely...even when it rains, it's warm.
