Description
PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS.
Hello, I have an off grid cabin in New Mexico. I travel a lot and frequently need house/pet sitters. Also will need help on the house and gardens this spring and summer. The house is solar powered. There is water catchment and I haul water from a nearby well. There is a greenhouse connected to the house with grey water planter that I will be planting in the spring. This spring I also plan to start a large garden outside and get chickens. I will be focused on food production for the first time in years. I will also be doing some work on the house. There is a converted school bus as well as another house next door for lodging when I’m staying in my house. It’s about 30-45 minutes to town. You should have your own four wheel drive or be ok with being stuck there when the roads are muddy, which is sometimes for weeks. There is no internet, WiFi and cell service is spotty at the house. My cell phone works about a half a mile up the road. Hardy independent capable people only please.
This is not an Airbnb. minimum stay 4 weeks. 🙏🏽

I am looking for house/pet sitters with a green thumb. Someone able to walk my dog twice a day and take care of gardens and chickens. Ideal for someone who likes spending lots of time in quiet solitude in nature. Should have a four wheel drive.
