We are looking for a house/dog sitter for May for our beloved poodle Peanut. We live in a small, quiet community on the Mississippi Gulf Coast about an hour east of New Orleans. Our neighborhood was developed around a series of connecting waterways off the Bay of St. Louis, and our raised house sits on one of those inlets. (We have a utility elevator to carry groceries and such, but it cannot be used for humans.) The area is pretty and quiet.
The beach is within 5-7 minutes away where there is a long walking path that goes for miles. Several restaurants and bars overlook the beautiful Mississippi Sound. You can buy fresh seafood right off the docks of our harbor (on the east side), if you want to cook your own. Also, several casinos are located within minutes.
We are looking for a house sitter who can take care of Peanut by walking him around the neighborhhood at least twice a day. He is very friendly and loves to go for rides. He's perfect for taking to the local coffee shop and sitting out on the porch. He does have a trick knee that prevents him from jumping so he has to be picked up to put into a car. He weighs about 22 pounds. He can walk up and down steps and get out of cars just fine. He justs need a little help getting in. He is nine years old, after all.
