My husband and I are looking for a housesitter June 8 to August Our house is located in a quiet residential area of east Longmont Colorado. There are walking and biking paths close by, grocery shopping is within easy walking distance. Our home is sq. ft, with a very manageable size lot to maintain mowing and weeding wise. There is a very nice, large covered back deck for relaxing or entertaining. This housesitting job will include the following: Taking care of the dog and birds. The dog is used to being walked daily for 45 minutes. The birds require 15 mins of cage care morning and night. We need someone who can keep up the house care ie, normal housecleaning, mowing the yard and a reasonable level of maintaining the flower beds. We are really looking for someone who will be spending a large amount of time with the dog on a regular basis. We will consider a single woman or a couple that is patient with animals. Our dog was abused by a male before we adopted him, so he was man shy when we got him. He is much better now, but we would prefer a passive male in the home for his sake. Please contact me if you are interested and would like to discuss the details further.
