I am seeking a true dog lover to house-sit my home as well as be a full-time companion for my best buddy, who is an 8-yr old Australian Shepherd. I live in north county San Diego (San Marcos) in a beautiful neighborhood on a golf course. There are horse properties all around and plenty of walking trails and horseback trails that are perfect for dogwalking.
My company has assigned me to an out-of-town project that will keep me away from home for 2 years. It would be very difficult to take my dog with me so I'm exploring the option of finding a house-sitter to take care of my house and my dog for an extended period of time. I will be able to come back home about every third weekend or so to take a break from work and to be with my four-legged boy. Ideally, I would be looking for someone who would be home a lot, or perhaps even be able to work from home.
I'm not asking for much, other than to take good care of my house and, of course, spend a lot of time with my dog. He loves playing and going for lots of walks.
San Diego is a beautiful place to live, has perfect weather, and has a great laid-back lifestyle. I've never used or considered a professional house-sitter before, so this is all new to me.
