About This House Sit

We are looking for a responsible animal and nature loving house sitter to care take our home and sweet animals. Our home will work best for an active person, couple or family who loves nature, animals, gardening, hiking, swimming in the river and relaxing pura vida style. We have two very sweet and lovable dogs, 2 cats and 1 guinea pig, so the house sitter(s) must be very comfortable with those animals. We also need our house sitters to be reliable, communicative and responsible. Speaking Spanish (even a little) is a plus as well, but not mandatory. * Feeding the cats daily * Feeding the dogs daily * Feeding the guinea pig daily * Watering plants & gardens as needed * General home care when needed * Communicating with us (homeowners) via phone, text or email several times a week about any issues at the house, pet updates, etc. Our house is a peaceful, Earthy and welcoming space! We are located the relaxed town of Orotina, Alajuela right on the incredible Machuca River. Very close drive to the world known eco communities, Ecovilla and Alegria. Beaches or San Jose are each 40 mins to an hour drive and are a fun day or overnight trip! There are also farmers markets every week with fresh produce, hand made food, artisan products and live music! The home is gated and situated on a beautiful half acre overlooking the river. The house sitters will have their own space with 1 double bed, 1 full bed and a full bathroom. There is also a sofa and television in the large guest bedroom. House sitters will have access to the rest of the home as well (though we ask that you please do not use our personal bedrooms). Just that we expect anyone who comes to take care of the home and animals with as much respect and care as they would their own. We need someone who is clean, kind, communicative and respectful. Please remember that although this home is easily accessible, it's also surrounded by jungle and the river, so you will see a lot of wildlife. It's best for nature lovers. No, sorry.
