Yosemite adjacent house with one chill dog

About this assignment

Looking for someone or a couple who will take good care of my home and look after my dog (Dutchess) while I am away. Prefer sitter(s) who is/are quiet, responsible, and cleans up after themself/selves. Also environmentally conscientious and low impact. I would like to come home to a happy dog and a house that is at least as clean as it was when I left it.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Feed Dutchess in the morning and evening. Walk her in the evening. Late morning and mid-day walks also appreciated (she's not a morning dog). Give her some pets and attention on occasion. Water indoor and outdoor plants every few days. Make yourself at home while you are here but please clean up after yourself.

What are the good features of the property and location

Highly desirable location in town in Mariposa in walking distance to grocery stores, post office, library, cafes, museums, restaurants, and YARTS bus stop (Amtrak connection). Full kitchen, washing machine (no dryer but it doesn't take long to air dry), fenced back yard with patio table and grill, carport, all the amenities of home (since it's my home). Convenient base from which to visit Yosemite National Park by car or bus. Also hiking, biking, swimming, and other outdoor activities in the adjacent foothills.

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

It's fine if you plan to spend the days in Yosemite or out and about elsewhere, as long as you are there to feed the dog in the morning and feed & walk her in the evening. She has a dog door to the back yard so she can let herself outside as needed. She is mellow and low maintenance but definitely appreciates company and love.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
