Sample House Sitter Required Advertisements

ABOUT THIS ASSIGNMENT START DATE IS NEGOTIABLE!>

My hope is to find an individual or couple who will over-see care of our villa here in Nayarit, Mexico while we are absent during the low season.

The villa is 4 levels all together. Different levels, though connected by an interior staircase, are independent of each other as suites have their own kitchenettes and bathrooms and balconies.

There may be guests on the 3rd level during this time period who may book through airbnb or VRBO.

I have a property manager so care of guests is in his capable hands though a welcome on your part and sharing of house "how to's" helps and is hoped for. Unfortunately, we don't get many guests during the summer.

WHAT RESPONSIBILITIES ARE REQUIRE OF THE HOUSESITTER

Overseeing care of home and garden: Water plants as needed. Make sure housekeeper cleans thoroughly. Housekeeper comes 2 days a week and attends to all areas of cleaning from dusting to mopping.

Be adept trouble shooters: Make sure all is in working order, ask that lights are replaced as needed, etc. We have a handyman/ landscaper who comes every Wednesday, full day, who can attend to any "fix it" or "replace it" needs should they occur. Your job will be to point out any house needs as soon as noticed and report anything that goes amiss to me and property manager.

WHAT ARE THE GOOD FEATURES OF THE PROPERTY AND LOCATION

The Villa is located on the hillside that overlooks the entire Chacala Bay. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach. The Villa is located in town, but remains very private.

Villa has 4 bedroom suites (2 of which have kitchenettes), 5 bathrooms and one main kitchen, and living area. Villa also has cable television, Netflix, AC and great WiFi.

Chacala is an amazing coastal village nestled alongside the most beautiful beach in all of Nayarit according to Moon's Pacific Coast of Mexico.

WHAT'S BEEN OFFERED

1. To start with: You will be staying in the Garden suite which is located on the Garden level. Villa is located in an Extraordinarily Beautiful Beach Village = Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico!
2. Full use of main kitchen, bar, living room and dining area.
3. WiFi, Cable T.V., electricity & propane gas included
4. Essentially you have no rent to stay in one of the world’s most beautiful settings in X-change for: DEVOTED care of villa, greeting & welcoming of vrbo and/or airbnb guests (few & far between in summer months but hopefully we'll have some guests as they help pay the villa's upkeep costs...)
Chacala has markets that can supply all the basics, a veggie and fruit market that's devoted to presenting the freshest selection, tortilla factory, fish markets and multiple restaurants.
5. The Villa also has a rooftop terrace with an amazing view!

WHAT DOES THE HOUSESITTER NEED TO CONSIDER BEFORE APPLYING TO THIS ASSIGNMENT

Villagers are friendly and internationals who have discovered Chacala appreciate its specialness and are a great group!

Summer time is the rainy season in this part of Mexico which is refreshing when it occurs -- usually evenings. There is some construction going on around the house which will hopefully be finished soon but be prepared for some noise in the morning/afternoon. Workers are very friendly and respect your privacy.  Hopefully it will not effect you.

Though we have internet, VOIP service (free calls to Canada/US), cable TV, abundant lighting throughout home, losing electricity for a day during a summer storm can and does happen. It could be a whole town event which is usually a better condition than just our neighbourhood event as "the fix" happens more quickly when it's the whole town that lost power.

Last but not least, we will give special consideration to any person or couple who would like to contribute a couple hrs a week to working with our primary school children during the months of September and October. Our primary school is very small (17 students all together, 1st - 6th grade and the school yr ends July 7 and resumes August 18). This hoped for link up is not a make or break deal, more like the icing on the cake deal if the most important component is in place and that is: vigilant villa care = Being observant, pointing out a roof leak, plugged toilet, torn screen, tile crack at onset & contacting our property manager who will send the pros to fix as needed, when needed.

 

We live on 2 acres at Whiteside, 24 km from downtown Brisbane, QLD. We have 2 lovely Cocker Spaniels, a cat,6 hens and an ancient horse.

We require a mature person or couple, preferably with farm or DIY experience, to walk the dogs, feed the animals, collect the eggs and enjoy the lifestyle. Our home is a modern 3 bedroom residence, all on one level. It has an indoor Spa, great for relaxing, and an outdoor pool. The gardens are extensive but low maintenance due to mulching and auto watering systems. The lawns should not require mowing during the period of our absence.

We are near to the North Pine Dam which has large parklands and barbecue facilities and lots or walking tracks. A car is essential as the shops are 4 km away and there is no public transport. Please check our photo gallery attached to this ad, for pics of our doggies Maxie and Shasta; inside our home; and surrounding attractions.

Must love dogs ! Must be a non-smoker, no drugs or alchohol.

I need someone very responsible and caring to walk, feed and medicate my two, small dogs, give them lots of love...take in mail and possibly mow the front lawn.

I have a large house with an inground pool and treed yard in a very quiet neighborhood, about 20 -30 minutes from the beach. Very close to all shopping, movies, live theatre...20 minutes to downtown West Palm, 35-45 mins. to Boca and Delray. Summer is very hot and it typically rains every afternoon- just to let you know! We are in the tropics! House has wi-fi, cable tv... Yard is not well-fenced, so dogs must be walked at least two times each day. Thanks! Please contact me with any questions.

Three bedroom house in the Brookside neighborhoodof Tulsa. Brookside is right on the river, and the house is about a half mile walk from the trail that runs along the river.

You would be caring for a small dog that requires an evening walk of at least 20 minutes, and a morning walk if you won't be home during the day to let her in and out (we have a fenced backyard, but she is never left there when we're out of the house), and two inside only cats who would need their litterbox changed daily. All animals have food and water available at all times, so you would only need to refill as necessary.

Aside from taking in the mail and newspapers, no other services would be required. We do not havea TV but we do have have high speed wireless internet. Brookside is considered one of the more exciting/trendy neighborhoods of tulsa. We are also a little over two miles from the Philbrook museum of art and five minutes off I-44, giving you quick access to anywhere else in the city. Please check our photo gallery attached to this ad, for pics of our beloved doggy Maxie; inside our home; and surrounding attractions.

I require a nonsmoking house sitter to sit a house and to feed fish only until July 5th in Midland.

The house is old and not fancy. If you want a beautiful house, don't apply. There is a queen bed with a hard futon mattress on it or a single mattress.

There is one bathroom with a shower. This sit will suit someone who is not looking for a fancy house but who doesn't care what the house looks like but just needs a place to stay till July 5.

Good character references required. You can move in this week if you are suitable.

Please check our photo gallery attached to this ad

I live in a beautiful apartment one and a half blocks from Central Park (West 74th between Columbus and Amsterdam) in a prime neighborhood close to restaurants, cafes, wine bars and fabulous shopping.

The apartment is a brand-new, 450+ square foot studio with a private terrace (and a very powerful air conditioner). Come enjoy the best time of the year in New York free of charge.

You will be caring for a 15-week-old small light cream female French Bulldog. TBD if she will be ready for walking in the park (due to vaccination schedule). See pictures of the apartment and puppy
