My house had two levels and I live on the top level - the lower level housing the garage. The house has fantastic views of the ranges as it sits on elevated ground with a sloping driveway leading up. I also gave a three year old doggie who in all probability, might be traveling with me.The plants in the garden are on reticulated watering, and will survive if all works well. So, the house-sitter will need to keep an eye out for plants that are wilting as the watering mechanism may have then failed. The house itself is well equipped with all utilities and comforts. It is a house of many precious memories of love and togetherness and I hope that whoever house sits for me will be mindful of this.
