  Description

  We are semi-retired medical doctors with a house near downtown ojai and the bike path. We live adjacent to the Los Padres national forest - for hiking and mountain biking- and a 20 minute drive ( or bus trip) to the Pacific Ocean- for surfing and beach. We have a large home with pool and garden and yard (2 acres fenced), and currently have 2 cats. They are formerly feral, but now can’t stand being left alone.
  
  We like to travel and are gone often. We have a renter in an attached but separate apartment and she has 3 dogs and chickens which she cares for. She also travels for work and takes her dogs with her. We need help with house / cat sitting while we are away and helping to feed chickens when we are all away.
