Greetings,

My husband and I will be away for the weekend and need someone(s) to care for our 2 year old dog named Pippin.  We live on a mountain top in a beautiful and peaceful wooded location in SW Virginia not far from the Blue Ridge Parkway with a GORGEOUS view.  .

Pippin was born on Christmas Day 2022 and weighs about forty-five pounds.  He came from a rescue group.  His mother was a Texas heeler (Australian cattle dog + Australian shepherd) and father, unknown.  He is a good and happy dog and very sociable with people and other dogs.  He has many toys and likes to play fetch (Frisbee!!), tug-o-war, and hide-n-seek.  He also loves walks and hikes.   He is housebroken and needs to go outside several times a day  to do his business.  Good news:  you don't have to pick up his "big business" as he goes in the woods!

He is smart and obeys many commands.  Our seven acre property is wooded and secluded so he is off leash out doors as we are relaxing on the deck, doing outside chores, or ambling in the field across the road; fortunately he's not a roamer.  However, for walks on the road or in public places like one of the local wineries, he needs to be on the leash.  If you go on a hike, like at Rocky Knob off the Blue Ridge Parkway, he is fine off leash once you are no longer near the road..

Our home was finished in 2019 and has 3 BR, each with a queen bed, 2 bathrooms, plus a king bed in the dormer upstairs.  We have an indoor "Endless Pool" where you can swim in place against a current or exercise.  It's kept at 82 degrees, so it's not a hot tub..  Our home is quite comfortable, as well as in a beautiful location, with amenities like heated bathroom tile floors, hot water on demand, and good internet service.  It's 15 min from the village Meadows of Dan and 30 min from both Floyd and Stuart--all with shops and restaurants.  There are 2 wineries close by and lots of hiking trails.

Also, we are happy to chat with you by Facetime or zoom.

We depart on Friday morning, March 7, 2025 and return on Sunday evening, March 9.  You are welcome to spend a night before and/or  after so we can have a proper hand-off.  

We have successfully used House Carers twice before.  Our fingers are crossed hoping to find another  good match.  Please Rsvp soon, as this really will be a plum placement.  Thanks for considering us.

Cheers,

PippinsMom
