We ask house sitters not to bring their personal pets
Basic critter care: Feed and water the critters.The cat is indoor outdoor and rarely uses her little box. She likes a good lap nap.
Basic garden care: harvest for yourself. There are several indoor plant to water every other day.
Critter care you might not expect:
The ducks have a tiny artificial pond that gets drained and refilled daily.
Orchard: The orchard will need watering if we isn't get rain. There should be berries, and other fruits depending on late freezes.
House stuff that is unusual:
Compost plant based food scraps. Drop off trash and recycles on your way to town.
Sitter must spend 2 hours with us before the sit to meet the critters and learn the routine.
