I'm willing to go outside those areas if it's within a mile or so. My husband and I have been traveling via sailboat and are now situated in Clear Lake Shores, TX. We have completed several house and dog sitting jobs together. Most animals know I'm their friend within a short period of time. There was only one dog that didn't seem to like me, and he was a "trained to kill" Rotty at my neighbors ho
use. Scary! However, after I sat in their home visiting for awhile, he started coming over to me and allowing me to pet him. By the time I left, he and I buds! I love all sizes and shapes of dogs and cats, probably more than most humans I meet. I follow the rules of your home, and your dog's particular schedule for food, walks, treats vs. no treats, outdoor, indoor times, pills, and play times. As for the house-sitting, I will make sure your mail is collected, house plants watered, and generally keep the area clean and orderly for when you return. If anything should go wrong, I will call you immediately. It is my way to make the animals as comfortable as possible, while maintaining the integrity of your home. If you want me to simply drop by and let your animal outside to go to the bathroom, to be fed and given water, and to play with them, this is a 2 hour job for $20. I will also collect your mail if necessary. I have found that most animals prefer it if someone is there with them the entire time. Overnight care is $35/day. This includes the house-sitting care as well. There may be times when my hubby and I decide to take a sailing adventure for several months, which will be announced on this page ahead of time, so you'll be aware of my schedule. If you're interested, let me know ahead of time, so I can check for openings. Today is July 28, and I am now house-sitting and dog sitting for another 4-5 days. That frees me up for August.
