  Description

  My husband Pete and I live in beautiful Seal Beach, CA, one-half mile from the ocean. We have a brand new, large home with a heated pool. Our two dogs, Betty Lou and Buster, are our constant beloved companions. When we have to travel without them, we want someone to stay at our house to keep them company, feed them, take them for walks and stroller rides in their stroller. They are 13 years old and very sweet. We plan to be away from home for 2-3 weeks. We also have lots of houseplants that need to be watered once weekly and succulents in our backyard that need occasional watering. This position would be ideal for a digital nomad. We have a dedicated office space in our home where you could work.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Since we would not be in the house when you are taking care of the dogs, we can't provide much cultural exchange personally. We could make arrangements to have you stay with us for a few days before we depart. We live in a very cool little beach town where you could experience the ocean, surf culture and lots of great restaurants.

  Help

  We plan to be traveling from approx December 5 through December 23, 2024. We need care for our two sweet senior dogs (Betty & Buster). This inclludes feeding, water, walks, lots of love, and being with them at night. You don't need to be at the house constantly throughout the day, but home for at least part of the morning and afternoon, as well as overnight with the dogs. Watering houseplants and succulents on our back patio once a week. That's really all we are looking for help with. We want to be able to travel and know that our dogs are being taken excellent care of. We are looking for someone who is a true dog lover :)

  Accommodation

  You would be staying in our home, which is very large and has four bedrooms & bathrooms. You would be sleeping in the king size bed in the downstairs master bedroom, which is where our dogs are used to sleeping. They have a dog bed beside the bed but they prefer to sleep in the bed. They are small so they don't take up much room.

  What else ...

  There is a lot to do here in Seal Beach! We are between Long Beach & Huntington Beach in Orange County, California. The weather here is nice year-round. Great waves for surfing. Close to cycling, trail running, and a lot of outdoor activities. Our home is one-half mile from the beach and a 10 minute walk to Pacific Coast Highway, where you can catch public transportation.
