I need housesitters to care for a historic Victorian house, large yard with gardens, and two large, middle-aged sled dogs. Giving the dogs regular walks would be a top priority. They like to get out even though they have a large yard. A niece lives in an upstairs apartment in the house and can help with giving the dogs walks and provide occasional respite. I would like responsible energetic dog lovers, who are comfortable with large dogs and enjoy working outside in the yard. No children please, since the dogs have never lived with kids. This would be ideal for a couple who can walk the dogs together. The dogs are reasonably well trained, but still too much for most people to handle alone (one hundred seventy pounds together and very powerful). There is no problem walking them individually, but it would be very time consuming to have to do this. We are religious dog walkers and they are used to getting out for a long walk (hour more or less) every day no matter what the weather.
