We are looking for a pet sitter who can care for our well behaved, affectionate and fun poodle in our lovely home while we are on vacation in February. Our dog, Toby, needs regular walks, enjoys playing, and loves company. We are seeking someone who would enjoy caring for him and who would be happy to give him the love and attention he requires to be content and to give him regular exercise. This person should be an animal lover, responsible and honest, a non-smoker, have good references, and would keep the house neat and clean without excessive use of the utilities and water out of respect for keeping a small carbon footprint, and because of the drought conditions in California.
In exchange for this, you will have the use of our home which is beautiful and spacious in a very pleasant Oakland Hills neighborhood, as well as a cuddly companion. Our home is close to walking trails, but not far from the attractions of Oakland, Berkeley and San Francisco. We have a landscaped, wooded backyard and a deck with a view of San Francisco, the Oakland Bay Bridge, and the Golden Gate Bridge. There are several outdoor areas and decks as well as a hot tub which can be enjoyed.
