I am looking for a responsible, thoughtful, mature house-sitter who truly loves dogs and cats and knows how to care for them and keep them happy. I've got 2 dogs and 1 cat who are spoiled but very well-behaved and need TLC and daily walks. (Plus 2 bearded dragons, VERY low-maintenance.)
I may also want someone again in spring and summer, each time ~ 10 days to 2 weeks, and would love to find a returning sitter, if possible.
I live in a nice 3 BR, 2.5 bath house in Crest (technically east El Cajon), a small semi-rural community east of San Diego (30 minutes from the beach)with a beautiful view of the eastern valleys, outdoor private jacuzzi, huge deck, very quiet with a rural feel but less than 10 minutes from town, a few blocks from several miles of lovely trails and a wildlife preserve where I walk the dogs every day. The dogs are great, well-behaved, 1 is a 4 yr old American dingo, the other a 6 month old Aussie shepherd mutt.
As far as the house is concerned, all that is required is some watering of plants and to leave it as clean as when you arrived. I have high speed internet, but no cable TV (we get the main channels). My pets are my children, so my concern is that are safe, happy, healthy, so I can leave worry-free.
This is great place to relax, write, hike, read, work from home...I am a wildlife biologist and instructor and I love it here. It is centrally located so that you can enjoy downtown San Diego, the beach, or the mountains in a short drive.
I have a roommate who travels internationally (and otherwise stays at his girlfriend's house) and is rarely ever home, and when he is here he keeps to himself in the upstairs section of the house. He is a biologist PhD, very quiet, considerate, and it is very unlikely you'll ever see him, as he travels for months at a time. However, if he is in town and there is a house emergency, he is available to call for any related reason.
Please if interested, and thanks for considering!
