View Housesit Details for #housesitting Feb 4, 2013 3 weeks United States Hilo Downtown Hawaii


What we are looking for in a house sitter?

We are looking for a mature, reliable couple (sorry -no children) who wants to spend some relaxing time in Hawaii caring for our elderly dog, Freida, and our puppy, Cleo, while we are away on vacation. Must enjoy indoor dog companionship and have experience caring for dogs.

What responsibilities will our house sitter have?

The ideal candidate will be a dog owner (or former owner) who has experience with all aspects of dog care. Duties would include 2 walks a day followed by feeding. They should have no problems with dog baths (if necessary) or giving pills to dogs. Freida weights about 30# and often needs to be carried up and down one flight of stairs. Cleo will be about 14 months during these dates and requires lots of puppy supervision. She is completely housetrained but demands much attention.

Other responsibilities include bringing in the mail & newspaper, and possibly watering a few plants.

What are the features of our property and location?

We have a comfortable home located near downtown Hilo complete with highspeed wireless internet and HD cable TV. Bring your own laptop for internet access. We are within walking distance to farmer's market, bayfront, museums, art galleries and restaurants. Nearby school has walking/running track. The island of Hawaii is the largest and most diverse of all the Hawaiian islands. There are wonderful hiking and sightseeing opportunities along with all the ocean sports. Volcanoes National Park is about a 45 minute drive from our home.

What do potential house sitters need to consider before applying for this assignment?

Will require references with proof of previous dog care. Nonsmokers only. A laptop is essential for communication with us and cell phone is highly recommended. Should be experienced using wireless networks and other electronic devices. We can provide references from our prior pet/housesitters.
