Description

We only need people May 30th to June 18th, - Would prefer you arriving a couple days earlier and you're welcome to stay a couple days longer.
We are a married couple with a baby, both teachers, that love to travel! We are often gone extended periods of time in the summer caring for our two dogs, We may be around when you are, but most the time you will be on your own!
Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
When we are around, we can share our favorite places to be outside in nature! If you plan on traveling more of the United States we can share some of the best places we've been! I am a health and physical education teacher, so I can teach about how to take care of your body and eat healthy. We cook most of our meals and can share some of our favorite recipes. We can teach gardening skills, basic life skills, and much more! We also live in the horse capital of the USA! Lots of beautiful horse country is a short drive away. If you're old enough, we have wonderful distilleries (bourbon), wineries, and breweries all within close proximity.
Help
We really just need help with one thing:
Caring for our dogs - they are both 6 year old who love exercise and play. One dog is a Beauceron mix (about 75 pounds) and the other is a beagle mix (30 pounds). Both dogs are super friendly, cuddly, and love to play! They need 2 walks/plays a day. During the summer the walks will be early (about sunrise) and late (about sunset). They also need to be fed 2 times a day, brushed daily, and loved always!!!

Accommodation
For accommodation, you will stay in our home. You will have your own bedroom and bathroom on the main level. We sleep upstairs with our own bathroom. You will have a small closet to yourself and be free to respectfully use our house as your own.
When you arrive, we will help you with your first round of groceries (Up to $100)
We will recommend hikes and adventures if you're interested
When we are away, we will leave you $75 a week to use how you wish for groceries and entertainment
We live close to downtown Lexington, it's an easy bike ride (you'll have a free bike to use as you wish). There's a beautiful indoor market with live music, 5 restaurants, groceries, and a multitude of small businesses all within easy walking distance. We have a great front porch and big back deck for the nice days and BBQs. We're also walking distance from a park with a community pool ($8 a day), basketball court, tennis courts, baseball fields etc!
What else ...
Our expectations of someone are simple: show kindness and respect for our home, ourselves, and our animals!
We love teaching, traveling (we've been to all 50 states and 30+ countries), volleyball, the outdoors, entertaining friends and family, and finding good local drinks and food for cheap.
