Hi there! We're a family of four, two kiddos and two big "kiddos," hailing from Music City, TN. We love to travel, both domestically and abroad and try to bring our two, small pups along for the ride when we're "local." However, we often spend at least a month or two abroad each year and when we do, the pups usually hold down the fort at home. This trip is just over a month in duration. We're hoping to find someone who will love on and care for our pups, along with our outdoor kitty (who just so happens to live in a tiny home right outside our front door :))
Located in a trendy East Nashville neighborhood, we have a single family home that is 6 miles from city center. The home features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The backyard is fully fenced in and features a screened in sun porch, along with another smaller porch, complete with a gas grill. You will be using the guest room, which features a desk for working and french doors that open to the screened in porch. You'll also have access to a fully equipped kitchen, living room, TV room and 2.5 bathrooms. There is wi-fi throughout and Netflix available; however, we do not have cable. Though you can walk to several restaurants, a hair salon and a coffee shop, a car would still be required to access grocery stores and nearby amenities.
We're looking for: Someone who absolutely adores pups/kitties; Non-smoker/non-partier Responsible and responsive - we will primarily be communicating through WhatsApp; Preferably works from home/doesn't need to leave for more than 6 hours per day
Details of the gig:
Daily dog care - feedings/water; supervised potty breaks at night (yard is fenced in/we have a dog door - during the day pups come and go, but need to be supervised after dark due to wildlife)
Outdoor cat feedings - NO litterbox duties, just food/water & love!
Indoor/outdoor plant care (watering)
Mail collection (mailbox end of driveway)
Basic house maintenance (keeping spaces used clean - house will be professionally cleaned prior to arrival)
Review from past sitter/friend: "You couldn't ask for a nicer family or sweeter dogs to house-sit for. We had an absolutely wonderful time looking after Nash and Leila. They are just adorable dogs, and are very easy to love and care for. Nash (the Westie) is a darling boy who loves to be near you. He is so much fun, and is so well behaved - he is a real character. Leila (the Yorkie) is a sweetheart, and she has so much personality. She loves to wag her tail, sit on your lap, and would chase balls all day if you threw them for her! They are both very easy to feed, wash, and walk, and they sleep through the whole night. They both love car rides and just hanging out with you."
