We are looking for a house sitter during the school year to take care of the yard, redirecting mail, making sure our home is OK, etc.
While we don't expect anything to go wrong, we prefer someone (or couple) who is comfortable with dealing with minor problems that can happen in a house or can make arrangements for and monitor repair of major problems while in contact with us.
Athens is a small college town located in southeastern Ohio and the location is beautiful. It is located next to the Hocking Hills (it's the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains) and there is lots of hiking, kayaking and other opportunities to get out and about. There are also many festivals and other events in the area.
