Hello!
We are looking for a house sitter to take care of our puggle/bulldog mix and tabby cat. Both require medications that just get mixed in with wet food. Beyond that they are very easy to care for. The dog does not require walks as he is very good at being active himself when let out in our fenced backyard. Both animals are very affectionate and friendly.
Beyond the animals, we are just looking for general upkeep of the property. We have family in Cambridge who will be available if any issues arise in our absence.
About the house
Our house is a historic house built by Jacob Hespeler himself. This house is well over 150 years old but has been fully updated while being careful not to remove its historic charm. The house is on a half-acre property full of trees and plants. In the large backyard, there is a hot tub which we would have open in April. There is also a large patio area right out the back door with a large BBQ, pellet smoker, and a sitting area. In the front of the house, there is a decent-sized porch with a screened-in sitting area.
The house, being set back in a large property provides a good amount of privacy. Being able to sit in the front or backyard is great, especially with all the trees and plants.
The house is outfitted with Google home in various rooms. It can be used to set the thermostat, turn on/off the lights, play music (via Spotify account), and control Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, or on the TVs. It's also useful for communicating between the floors of the house and just asking general questions.
There is an Xbox One in the living room which you are welcome to use.
About the location
Cambridge is in a great location within 30 minutes of St. Jacobs, and 1-2 hours (depending on traffic) from Stratford, Niagara Falls, or Toronto. The house is about a 5-minute drive to the nearest Grocery store, and a 10-minute drive to Cambridge's main strip (Hespeler Road) where you can find all sorts of restaurants and stores as well as the Cambridge Mall.
Hope to hear from you!
