About this assignment

Honest, responsible person or couple, who will love and spoil our 7 year old English Springer Spaniel and our 2 year old Lab/Shepherd mix like we do, as well as care for our home while we travel to Hawaii over Thanksgiving.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Care for two needy and loving dogs named Kai and Sophie. Feed them two times a day, and take them out frequently to explore. Kai sleeps with us and is allowed on furniture. Sophie sleeps in her cushy dog bed and sometimes will sit on furniture. Pick up our mail. Feed the wild birds.

What are the good features of the property and location

We have a 2000 sq. ft. home built in 2018, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths on 5 acres. It is located in rural SW Washington State, 1 1/2 hours drive from Portland Oregon and 1 hour to Astoria Oregon or the beach at Long Beach Washington. The property has views of the Columbia River shipping channel, a wildlife refuge, and on a clear day you can see Astoria Oregon. Many outdoor spaces for relaxing and logging roads to explore the woods right from here. The local town has a brewery if that interests you.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

This is a rural location. Our dogs are used to someone being here all the time and only left alone 4 hours or less when necessary.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.

Testimonials

Great House Sit – Lovely Hosts

Valerie and Paul were lovely people and the communication was everything to be expected before and during their trip. They provided clear instructions to ensure that we had a successful house sit. Their house is a modern, spotlessly kept home that sits on a hill overlooking the Lower Columbia River Valley. The views are spectacular and there are hiking trails from their home or just a short distance away. Kai is a well behaved, trained, handsome guy that always tries to please. Our expression about him, “Kai doesn’t speak English but he sure does understand it!” We spent hours everyday hiking and/or throwing the frisbee with Kai because WE wanted to. We took him in our car everywhere we went without a single incident. We miss him. If you get a chance to sit for Valerie and Paul, you will definitely enjoy getting to know them, Kai and their beautiful home. Best regards, Brian and JoDon Rawls
