We are looking for a reliable person or couple interested in caring for our dogs and home this winter.
the house dit period is January 2 to April 27, 2024. In that period, there are three weeks of dog sitting as well.
1. From January 4-26, 2024 we will be away without the dogs and this period will involve caring for them and the house. We would like you to arrive on Januarty 2 to meet the dogs and learn how tio care for them. One is 5 years old and the other will be about 4 months old.
2. From January 28 both dogs will be away with one of us until April 27. For a period, one of us will be home together with you until s/he leaves to join the other.
3. We will both be back on or before April 27 when the house sit will end.
4. So the period for the house sit is from January 2 to April 27, 2024, just over 3 months. For the combined house and dog sit, the period is just over three weeks, from January 4-26.
We have a wonderful home, located near downtown Toronto, a 5 minute walk to the St. Clair West subway station. Lots of opportunities to visit amenities in Toronto. Large kitchen, family room, bedrooms, Internet, washer/dryer, dishwasher. Must be mon- smoker. No parties. Tidy, necessary light housekeeping including vaccuuming and dusting and maintenance, including managing snowfalls and clearing driveway and front steps for the postal people. Off-street parking in the driveway is available. But you don't need a car at all at our home!
Please contact us, preferably by . Note that the care for the two wonderful dogs is only for two to three weeks. They are well-behaved, friendly, gentle and delightful together, leashed trained, responsive, smart and very healthy. They do not bark, growl or otherwise make ex essive noise. They do need to be walked separately but not for a long distance (around the block once or twice several tmes per day will suffice, always leashed) two to three or four times a day, and just patted and loved and fed. They appreciate consistent treatment and regular schedules. The young one will need consistent reinforcement do a house sitter with fog experiences will really enjoy this experience.
The backyard is fenced so they can go out there leashed twhen the weather is bad. Pick-up poo is essengial from the backyard and everywhere in Toronto. They must not be fed from the table. They do not eat human food of any kind, saved an occasional boiled chicken egg.
The dogs love and need company for the few weeks when they will be apart from us. For most of the period, though, they will be with us and you will have the house to yourself.
We require a responsible, reliable house/dog sitter with good communicatuon skills, someone who is flexible, friendly, caring. a person who likes dogs and can easily learn to manage Bullmastiffs. Consistent puppy training will be required as the little one will be learning a lot about how to be a well-behaved dog in the three weeks he will be alone with you and her Mom. The puppy will be completely house-trained by January 2024.
We look foward to meeting you on Zoom or FaceTime and working out arrangements that work for all of us.
