Dog-sitting and cultural exchange in the Bay Area, outside San Francisco, USA

  Description

  Hello there!
  I'm male on my late thirties and living in the Bay Area, about 50 min from San Francisco, CA. Born in South America but USA is home now. I'm a gay man with a four legged daughter (my dog :) ) . So you would need to be open minded and LGBTQ friendly.
  
  I have a big house. 3 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths with a nice porch and nice size yard. At the moment my parents and their dog are staying with us because of covid-19, so if we can host, you will have to share a bath with them but have your own room.
  The help is needed with my little girl when i'm not at home, some house keeping items, help with the yard, veggie garden, etc
  
  I speak English, Spanish and trying to learn French. Europe is one of my favorite places to visit.
  I love attending fairs, concerts, flea markets, festivals or anything outdoor. Love camping and rving as well.
  My little girl and i have traveled internationally too and she is the best companion ever.
  
  There are nice places near the house to go for a walk, run, bike ride, even fishing. 15 min walk to the water front, couple blocks away from downtown where you can find restaurants, shops, art, etc. The neighborhood is super quite but we are near everything northern CA has to offer. 30 min from San Francisco, 50 min from Wine regions, Lake Tahoe, Beaches, State and National parks, etc so there's plenty to do.
  
  I hope you can help us enrich our lives with your company and help and we hope to do the same for you.
  
  Ideally we would like to host somebody for at least a couple of weeks at the time.
  
  Cheers
  
  Al and Saphy
