Hello, My fiance and I live in the Greenwood neighborhood - near Seattle WA. We are attempting to plan a vacation sometime in the month of October for aprox 1 week. Our only concern is our 4 fur-babies (2 Great Danes, 1 Lab and a Mini-Doxie).
We typically rely on our parents to watch them when we're away but we recently added another Dane to the mix and feel it's just too much to ask of them for a full week.
We're looking into other options now and are hoping to find a house-sitter willing to stay overnight and spend a reasonable amount of time with the "kids" during the day. The dogs are currently kenneled at home for hours a day while we're at work. I wouldn't want them to be left alone much more than that.
We have a large back yard so while they love walks, they don't require leashing and walking for their potty breaks. So don't worry - walking all 4 of them at once is not a requirement :).
The house doesn't require much sitting. We don't have any house plants (the dogs would just eat them) and mail, papers, etc aren't really a concern.
We live in a 2 bdrm, 1 bath house with a large fenced yard and basketball court. We are very close to the heart of the Greenwood neighborhood in Seattle, WA. We are also within a couple of miles to major Highways and Freeways. Downtown Seattle is about 15 min by car.
Please respond to the ad if you're a qualified pet sitter and think you might be interested in the opportunity. Thank you for your interest.
