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:)

Leah and Greg made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Leah's home is great; comfortable, well equipped and located in a beautiful part of Connecticut with miles of fantastic trails, rivers, lakes and waterfalls minutes away. Her two dogs, Switch and Rica, were very easy to look after and fun. I really enjoyed my time in Roxbury and would recommend this sit to everyone. Thanks Leah.

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.
