We need a housesitter for 2 weeks while we visit our daughter in NM. We leave behind 2 large dogs, Percy and Zelda, and 3 cats, Ophelia, Spice and Buki. The cats are in/out door cats but need a human to make sure they are around. The dogs are big hearted but less well behaved. They need to have company when they are outside or they go looking for whatever they can find across the field, up the road etc. You get my drift.
We have only lived in this area of Vermont for a short time. Our house is "under construction" which means that most of the walls are sheet rocked but the finish work is happening slowly. The house is small - technically 1 bedroom, large "open concept" living/kitchen space. Deck on front looks out over fields. Neighbors are up the hill and way across the fields - it is quiet and peaceful and very beautiful. We are about 1/2 an hour from Hanover, NH (Dartmouth). There are several lakes in the area and we do have canoe.
