We are looking for a dog-loving house sitter this winter to occupy our home and provide care and companionship for our friendly, well-trained 6-year Golden Retriever. The house is a comfortable 1900 square-foot 3 bedroom/ 3 bath split-level,with an outside hot tub, in a peaceful neighborhood on a wooded hillside in south Eugene, about 4 miles from downtown Eugene or the University of Oregon. The backyard is fully fenced, and the yard requires no care during this time of year. Eugene is a relaxed but lively college town with a population of 160,000, well known for its extensive bicycle paths and running trails, as well as its varied musical scene and full slate of college sporting events. Eugene is located on the beautiful Willamette River, 60 miles from the scenic Oregon Coast, 75 miles from the nearest ski area in the Cascades mountains, and 100 miles from the Portland metropolitan area.
