  Descrição

  We’re looking for someone to watch our dogs and home from June 11 to June 29. Would prefer you arriving a day or two earlier and you're welcome to stay a couple days longer.
  
  We are a married couple with a toddler, both educators, that love to travel! We are often gone extended periods of time in the summer. This year we will be taking a two and a half week trip up to Michigan and are unable to bring our fur babies with us. We’re looking for someone to care for our dogs, bring in the mail, and tend to our yard/garden while we are away.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  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! We can teach gardening skills, basic housekeeping 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.

  Ajuda

  While we are out of town, we need help with the following items:
  Caring for our dogs - they are both almost 8 years old and they love exercise and play. Nova is a Beauceron mix (about 75 pounds) and Lilo 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!!! They have a dog door with 24/7 access to the backyard, so they are fine by themselves during the day. Nova has anxiety around fireworks, which unfortunately happen often near us in the evenings. She needs someone strong that has experience with dogs to keep her calm when this occurs on a walk (as she will often pull on the leash to get home).
  
  Caring for our home- We have a medium sized yard that will probably need to be mowed once or twice while we are away. We also have a garden that will need to be watered and may require pulling some fruit/vegetables if ripe. You would also need to pull weeds once a week.

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!

  Meus animais / animais de estimação

  

  Lilo (7 anos)

  Lilo is 30 pounds of pure love. She would be content to sit with you on the couch all day (as long as you provide the pets!) she also loves to go on walks and sit on the porch with her humans.

  

  Nova (7 anos)

  Nova is 75 pounds of energy! She loves going for walks and sitting with her people on the couch. She isn’t a fan of the hot summer days, so she needs an early walk in the morning and a later walk in the evenings when the sun isn’t as hot.
