We need a housesitter to take care of our aging pug, live in our home, and water our garden while we are away. The dog likes a fair amount of attention and needs a little extra care, so we prefer someone who spends some time at home. He's a total character and everyone gets a kick out of him. We are in the Hawthorne district where coffeeshops, restaurants, the library, grocery stores, a large park with a duck pond, and lots of fun stuff are just a few blocks away. there are a couple of different bus lines just a couple blocks from here, and the neighborhood has a vibrant feel. we have a lovely, verdant backyard with lots of privacy, and a hot tub and sauna.
