We are also looking for a housesitter for the period from April 1st to April 4 or April 7th.
We have a 4 bedroom 4 bath oceanfront home in San Diego with 4 dogs. We use one bedroom for my office and one bedroom is downstairs. There is a pool and a jacuzzi. For people coming from out of town, we have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra you can use. The housesitter will have a two room suite with a private full bath.
We have one 12 year old Havanese (Robbie), one 13 year old Bichon Frise (Bella), one 7 year old Giant Schnoodle (Molly) and a long term elderly spaniel foster (Pepper). Pepper needs to be let out in the front yard regularly and have ointment put in his eyes. He is very elderly but quiet and not too mobile (he mostly sleeps). Molly is gentle but loves attention. The dogs do not need to be walked but Molly love walks and is happy to go anytime. Robbie will go for a walk but he's a bit of dawdler and he is deaf so he cannot be taken anwhere he would be off leash. Molly gets car sick and we have meds for that although there shouldn't be any reason for you to take her on a long car ride. The dogs eat and drink on demand from the various bowls downstairs. Our housesitters should be very familiar and comfortable with dogs.
Of course we do not want any wild parties and the house should be kept in good shape, and our cleaning person will come on Tuesdays and Fridays. There is a person who mows the lawn and takes care of the pool and gardens.
We will require references and would prefer that our housesitters be home most of the time and we don't want the dogs left home alone for more than 4 or 5 continuous hours.
However, you can bring your non shedding friendly dog. We have great internet access and a printer for you to use so work from the house is easy.
Let me know if you have any questions.
