Housesitter in Connecticut Countryside - Great Hiking Nearby!
Introduction
Hi there! We are a young professional couple who own a nice house in a beautiful, rural area of northwest Connecticut, and need someone to occasionally stay here when we travel. All you have to do is feed & let our dog outside. It's a peaceful home and our dogs are very mellow and well behaved. If you like the outdoors there are tons of outdoor attractions nearby: beautiful hiking trails year-round, lakes to swim during the summer, cross-country skiing in the winter, and it's a 1.5 hr train ride from New York City. Look forward to hearing from you!
Show more...Home & location
We have a four bedroom 1500 sq. ft. house that sits on ten acres in the countryside. We have beautiful gardens and you can go for hikes in the woods behind our house (or lots of nature preserves/hiking areas around where we live). Our house is simple and clean, with fun technology our guests can enjoy - we have a large screen TV with Netflix/Amazon prime, super fast WIFI, a home theatre (10' projection screen) in the living room, etc. We have Playstation 4 and ipad available for you to use. You will have a private guestroom and will have your own bathroom ready for you when you arrive.
Show more...Responsibilities
We have one very friendly, super easy to care for dog (feed them once a day, let them outside and you're good!). Other than that, there is nothing else to do but enjoy our peaceful home. If you can water the plants once a week that would be nice:)

This sit was a truly wonderful experience. Stitch and Willie are such big fluffy loves and I didn't want to leave them when the stay was over! They are the sweetest, calmest, gentle giants who will lay by your feet all day and sleep as you WFH, and love to roam around the yard and play the occasional round of squeaky toy. They are really easygoing and so easy to care for. The house is really peaceful and quiet, and has everything you need for a truly enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this sit and would come back again anytime!

Great sit! Greg welcomed me warmly when I arrived and had all the information I needed for the sit laid out, organized, and dialed in. The two dogs (switch and willie) were incredibly low maintenance, friendly, well behaved and fun. The house was super comfortable and I couldn’t imagine a more low key and comfortable sit. Easy five stars.

Easiest stay ever! Switch and Willie are communicative, independent, and love company. Even the fishies are great. The house has everything you could possibly need to keep things entertaining and clean. 10/10 would stay again :)

Michelle & Jerry were excellent house guests who are much welcome to return any day in the future. Very responsive, reliable and trustworthy. My dogs (and fish) seemed extremely happy with their companionship during the stay.
