Home on the river

Introduction

We are happily retired, enjoying life on the river, but love to travel and explore. We have lived in our house for 42 years, and it’s still our favorite place to be. Comfortable, not fancy, peaceful, surrounded by nature. We hope you will enjoy it too! Pick some fresh herbs from the garden, and a vase of flowers for the table, and dine alfresco on the deck or screened porch. Relax on the pier with a good book, or Birdwatch. Look for the occasional passing dolphin or otter. Zoe will hang out with you sometimes, at other times she will do her own thing in the yard. She will be glad to show you her favorite walking routes.

Responsibilities

Zoe really enjoys a daily walk, and we do have a few plants in pots that might need some watering. You are welcome to help yourself to herbs and vegetables from the garden, and fruit from the fig and persimmon trees.

Nita and Karl were great! They gave me great and easy information about the house, property, and Zoe. They were also easy to reach with questions when I had a couple. Zoe is such a sweet girl. She loved to be outside, but could often be found inside by my side the rest of the time. Zoe has a bit of anxiety. I had to coax her to eat every day as she only wanted her dental bones. HA! S he has a big fear of thunderstorms and will want/need to be as close a possible to you. She likes to visit the neighbors from time to time, but retrieving her is super easy since the whole neighborhood knows her and there's literally an app to find which house she's visiting nearby. The property is very beautiful and peaceful. This was such a lovely sit. I would very much like to sit Zoe again in the future.

This sit was probably my best sit to date. Nita and Karl are wonderful people, the house is amazing and Zoe is THE sweetest girl! I loved Elizabeth City which really is small town USA and found a great wine bar in town. I can't wait to return to this sit again.
