Sit local, or anywhere
You can keep it close to home, or you can use house sitting as a way to travel on a shoestring. It's all good, and it starts here.
Mt. Hood & The Gorge - Multnomah
Douglas
We are located on a no outlet street in the SW hills of Portland in the Hillsdale neighborhood. The house is a 3 level 2,500 square ft with 3 bedrooms 2 baths and private views from banks of 12' windows. We are on the hill so expect some stairs
.There is easy access (<0.5 mi) to I-5 and Barbur Blvd (hwy 99) from our neighborhood. Hillsdale center is approx 1 mi and a pleasant walk away. Our Honda HRV and e bike will be available for your use.
We have a 6 year old yellow lab (Scippy) and a 3 year old bishon/shitzu (Sampson). They are fed twice a day ( morning 7ish and evening 6 ish). We use Natures Balance Costco food and give a scoop of kibble and a little wet food mixed in. They are accustomed to a daily walk of at least a mile (generally more) and need to be briefly let out normally in the morning and evening.
We have 2 small cats (Lulu and Cleo) that are fed similarly with the dogs morning and evening with a little kibble and wet food. The litter box is in the garage and is changed daily either in the morning or after our dog walk. They are indoor cats, but if they run out they are familiar with our space, we just keep them in due to coyotes in our forested neighborhood.
All animals are friendly and trained, although Skippy can be a barker when excited on his walk. We look forward to going through more details, but those are the basic duties. Otherwise, I hope you have a wonderful vacation in our home:) Cheers! Doug and Jess
