We are looking for a responsible, clean and quiet, non-smoking dog-lover or couple to take care of our sweet 12 year old Lab-mix, and look after our house and garden.
Our home is in a quiet woodsy neighborhood, only minutes by car (or 20 minutes by foot) from the lively town of Fairfax, CA (8,000 people). The backyard has a beautiful patio that looks out over a seasonal creek, and the second floor deck is a lovely spot for having breakfast, taking a nap or birdwatching.
Fairfax is in Marin County in Northern California, and is an easy distance from San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Pt Reyes National Seashore, Muir Woods and Mt Tamalpais State Park and the rolling rural lands of West Marin. Despite its small size, Fairfax boasts nearly 30 places to dine-in or take-out and is one in a string of small nearby towns with plenty to offer in the way of excellent restaurants, movie theaters, playhouses, live music, parks, and shopping. The mountain bike was invented in Fairfax and is home to the Marin Museum of Bicycling. Just a few minutes drive up the hill will take you to our local reservoirs where you can walk dogs on leash around the lakes or enjoy a picnic. There is a nature preserve at the end of our street that is also a great place to hike.
We have excellent high-speed internet and a very comfortable light-filled house.
