I am looking for a housesitter to on occasion take care of my 10-year-old small dog. She needs quite a bit of exercise and normally gets two outings a day. I usually take her on a hike or to the park to throw the ball in the morning (she's a good retriever, so long walks not necessary) and a walk in the evening. The house is in a great Santa Cruz location, close to just about everything, near the downtown area and beaches. It has two bedrooms, one with a "regular" full-size bed and the other with a queen-size pull out couch/bed that is very comfortable. We have all the "amenities": wifi, streaming, modern kitchen, garage, washer/dryer, fireplace, 1.5 bathrooms (one with tub/shower). There is a small patio/garden area that requires minimal care. My main concern is that my dog be well-cared for and not be left for longer than 4 to 6 hours at a time. She is a good car traveler and enjoys going out with me. I'll post some photos as I make my way through this process.
