Description

We are a family of artists with two small kids leaving for June and July. We have a dog that needs a good sitter and a garden that needs enjoying. Our home is a 1936 English Spanish hybrid that we remodeled slightly upon moving in in 2021. It’s got a detached office, great yard all around and beautiful sunset view from our new deck. We have designed our home to be simple and calming, with classic hardwood floors, cool plaster interior, new Fleetwood windows and a deck that looks into the sunset. There are spaces for all ages inside and outside, even an outdoor dining area with bbq. There is a detached office that can serve as a third bedroom as well. The neighborhood is peaceful and the commute is easy. We love our home and hope to find a calm and courteous family or individual to enjoy its Tujunga serenity. The neighborhood has artists and families, with some cool discoveries to make as you hike into the national forest and Mt. Lukens in your backyard. We hope it can be kept well (dog and house) while we are gone. We have a cleaner and gardener to care for it while you stay here too.

Comments: We are offering a lower than market rate for the house as it includes caring for our 10 year dog, Bosco, a lab mix.

Considerations

The home is suitable for young kids

Comments: We are looking for a dog sitter who is calm and willing to live alongside an aging but still active Labrador. He likes his personal space, not a big cuddler but very loyal. Big garden for him to enjoy daily too.

House Sitting

I am looking for help while I am away

I would like help with my pet(s)

Our Lab Bosco is ten years old. Still active mostly a daily walk in the neighborhood is all he needs. Food and water twice a day too. He’s not a cuddler. He’s a rescue and needs to feel like a calm but not hovering or unpredictable environment.

I would like help with mail and deliveries

Put mail in a box for us.

I would like help with plants or garden

Just water and trim as sees fit. Lots of fruit trees and veggies to harvest!

Comments: Just caring people who don’t party and need a calm retreat in the mountains.
