We are looking for a housesitter to stay at our peaceful home who can care for chickens and do a few garden chores.

The chickens need to have feed added every other day, and automatic water checked. You get to collect the eggs and enjoy them. In the garden, we would like you to check the irrigation periodically (on a timer), monitor the corn patch and possibly harvest some (30' max), and do some light weeding in vegetable beds. Hopefully, you are handy enough to manage minor irrigation problems, but we can get you help if needed. You get to eat vegetables on the day you pick them. We would like you to arrive by the night before we leave (Aug 14) to show you around the yard.

This will leave you all kinds of time for water sports, hikes, bike rides, swimming, and exploring the area. Also working online and lounging. Check out local music, community bike rides, farms, Columbia River fish ladders, vineyards, and breweries. We are in a fruit growing valley north of Mt Hood and south of Mt Adams, with many rivers nearby.

Our house is a peaceful, light one-story in town overlooking hills. You would stay in our guest bedroom.

Looking forward to finding just the right person.
