Hi,
We live in Swall Meadows (between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop, CA) and have been here for 28 years. We have a Westie, Sierra, who is years old. We have a trip planned to go back to Michigan from July 27th through August 7th. We would like for someone to come and stay at our house so that Sierra will have the least amount of change in her life as possible. We are heartbroken at the moment because her brother and litter mate, Nevada, died here at our house on Sunday. He had been battling kidney disease and pancreatitis for a few weeks and we lost him Sunday. We are beyond sad and barely able to function, but I need to address what to do for this trip. So, now we only have Sierra and we are just so worried that she be safe and happy. We also lost our home in the Round Fire of 2015, and although we have rebuilt our home, we are pretty scarred by the whole event. We are super concerned that whoever housesits for us would get our dogs, just Sierra now, out of the house in the event of a fire. So, lots of info on us, but otherwise we have a big roomy house with a pool and jacuzzi etc., bikes, kayak and out the door hiking and we are just looking for someone to take super amazing care of our baby Sierra. The safe and conscientious care of Sierra is our primary concern; however, we also have a swimming pool, jacuzzi, ponds and drip line irrigation systems that also require some minimal care. We would like to establish an ongoing long-term relationship with an additional housesitter as we travel quite frequently. We work with a housesitter on HouseCarers at present and she is wonderful, but she is in demand and sometimes can't come to our home. We have bikes, a double kayak and canoe available (also skis and snowshoes for winter) and there are hiking trails all around. Our house is at the foot of the Wheeler Crest mountain range and we are close to Crowley Lake - an all sports lake, too many mountain lakes to count and Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort, Mammoth Lakes and Bishop, CA. You can reach me at . Thanks so much for listening to this long introduction. Linda
