SandBox Critters

Are you an animal lover? Are you one of those special people who feel a beachwalk is enhanced by a canine companion? Got pets and cuddles to spare? If so, you are my favorite kind of guest.

My work as a master sand sculptor requires me to spend a lot of time on the road/in the air which makes it hard on my animals. Sometimes my favorite housesitter - Raybo - is available -- but not always. I have a great group of friends who cheerfully assume critter-sitter duties when they can, but I worry I may be asking too much of them at times....

You see where this is going, don't you?

Essentially, I may be willing to discount rental fees in return for supplemental critter-care. Read on to see what the job entails, and if you believe you could handle the duties and the dates happen to coincide with a period when I will be out of town, we may be able to work a deal to our mutual benefit.

At the moment I am down to two critters: an infirm old cat and a sweet little dog.

Kitty Kat - is 20 years old and basically lives on the back deck. She has a stomach tumor and is not likely to be around much longer -- though she still appears to be enjoying life. All she requires is ample food and water and the occasional scratch behind the ears.

Peach - is 25 pounds of fuzzy love. She is a rescue dog from the local shelter and she loves to be around people. She has unrestricted access to the back yard via a pet door where she can do her business if need be; however, she loves going for walks on the beach or even just around the block. Given the slightest bit of encouragement, she will adopt you.
But you can't take her home with you ;-)

If your are able/willing to assume partial or total responsibility for my animals, please mention this when you email me and we will talk.

Thanks.
