Pet sitting in Westmoreland New Hampshire, USA

  Description

  My husband Bruce and I live with our hound-mix Cleo in a 1798 colonial in the beautiful Park Hill area of Westmoreland New Hampshire (USA). Westmoreland is in between Keene NH and Brattleboro VT, along the Connecticut River. We are looking for someone to watch our home and Cleo when we travel. It’s a historic and idyllic farming community that’s a great location for outdoor activities and a stone’s throw from the several charming communities in southwestern New Hampshire and southeastern Vermont. There’s very little required in watching our home: take in the mail daily and walk and feed Cleo, with a commitment to not leaving her alone for more than 5 hours at a time, while you explore everything this charming part of New England has to offer.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our house was built in 1798 and is next to the Park Hill Meeting House which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The meeting house is widely considered the most attractive church edifice in New England. A visit here is like a step back in time. There are several restored historic homes surrounding the Park Hill square and the meeting house. Travelers here will gain a keen understanding of colonial New England life, while also enjoying modern conveniences.

  Help

  Responsible pet and home sitting. We are looking for someone to watch our home and our dog Cleo. There’s very little required in watching our home: take in the mail daily and walk and feed Cleo, with a commitment to not leaving her alone for more than 5 hours at a time. What’s involved in taking care of Cleo? (1) feed her breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening. (2) play fetch for a few minutes, twice per day. (3) walk her for her potty breaks a few additional times per day. Very little maintenance is required for the house. Just take in the mail Monday through Saturday and watering the plants. There may also be some yard work and gardening, if desired.
  
  This first posting is for a specific period of time for a planned vacation that we have. We will be gone from March 29th to April 8th. We would like the workers here from March 28th to April 9th and can work with them if they would like to stay a little longer.
