Home is located in a pretty, close in to town suburb with it's own village of shops, bakeries, restaurants, parks, exercise studios - highly desireable location, walk to metro rail. We have 3 cats in the AC'd gazebo, 3 cats in the main house SO.....must love cats! We have a 12 yr. old Schnoodle rescue, no shed, needs meds daily but in great shape - a true love and wonderful companion. THE HAPPINESS, HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF THE PETS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THIS ASSIGNMENT.
Cottage is newer construction, all modern conveniences, just small approx. 550 SF under AC and a nice big porch (now screened w/light and fan). We want to spent time away this summer and the sitter would stay behind to watch the kitties/ the pup and the house. Approx. dates are early June through Oct. 31 and there would be times we would return home for family time. The sitter could take this time to travel or take a break....or stay and be off duty.
House to do's involve -- changing AC filter monthly, making sure landscape lights go on at night, making sure lawn crew does their job, bring in mail, lights on and off, make sure gazebo and kittie's rooms stay clean. Miami is VERY hot in summer so if you are sensitive you may not like this assignment. Labor involves: cleaning 3 litter boxes, getting a sr. dog out for pee regularly, no walks needed the yard is fine, making sure dog gets her meds in w/food, feeding cats 2 x daily.
You can work from home comfortably, there's a desk, tv wifi, stero, bed super comfy. Must be detail oriented with good cleaning skills as cats sometimes puke or accidents can happen. Ideally, the person would be around a lot, an early riser, organized and methodical. Must drive and have a car. Cottage and house on half acre lot lushly landscaped with tropicals, hear the wild parekeets.
