We need a house sitter

San Francisco Bay Area - Sonoma

Marcia

Welcome to the Wine Country in Sonoma County. We have a three year-old shepard mix who is playful and loving dog. We live in a new (2020) home just north of Santa Rosa. The house was designed to be lived in, with a great kitchen and a lovely backyard (with grill). There are pretty view of the hills out front.
Our dog is a medium size 3 yr old male Shepard mix that is a sweetheart. He loves walks, playing with his dog buddies, does well at dog parks, trail walking, and interacting with strangers. He does need to get out at least twice a day for a long walk, playtime or hike. He is happy in the house alone and has a dog door to his fenced area and potty spot.
The neighborhood is safe, walkable, rideable, and a short walk to restaurants, grocery, gym, hospital and even a couple of winery tasting rooms. We are in Sonoma County so it is wine country and a craft beer hub. It is 45 min to the coast, 1.5 hr to San Francisco, and a few hours to the Sierras. Hiking trails abound and the County has some of the best road and dirt bicycle routes in the country. The weather is very temperate.

We have a garden and a vegetable garden (seasonal) that are on a drip system but there may be a few pots that will need some extra water. The inside plants only need some water every couple of weeks.
In other words, this is a low maintenance home, with a dog that is a pleasure to be with and to exercise. In your spare time, of which there should be plenty, there is a lot to explore in the beautiful Sonoma County wine country, whether by car, bicycle, or on foot.

Marcia and Paul are welcoming and cordial hosts, who communicated well. Their home is fabulous: attractive, comfortable, and modern. The highlight of this sit was their GSD-Terrier mix dog "Woody". What a wonderful companion! Woody is affectionate, attentive, energetic, obedient, playful, and loves pets, cuddles, and belly rubs. This was a very enjoyable sit, and I will gladly return if the opportunity occurs!

What can I say about Woody? Only great things. He is a super loving and gentle dog who loves pretty much everyone and everything! He's super easy to take on walks since he has zero leash aggression. And, if you take him off leash on a hike, he never strays far and never hesitates if you need to put a leash on him suddenly. For one so big, it is funny that he afraid of so many things -- leaves, sudden sounds, bird noises, etc. Haha. Be prepared to be super active with him - he's got dog park and ... MORE
