Hidden Lake Hidden Gem
Introduction
Ken and I are active seniors who enjoy exploring new rivers, lakes and coastal towns throughout Florida. We travel twice a year out of state to visit family and once a year to check off a bucket list destination. This is very important to us and are seeking peace of mind with a trusted house sitter to care for our two 18-month old bichpoo sisters during our time away from home. Ken loves projects and keeps busy around the house, garden, garage, and yard. Holly is an artist. Her paintings grace the walls of every room of our home.
Show more...Home & location
Our 3-bedroom home in Ocala is more like an open and airy beach house with lots of white and bold colors, an inground pool, fenced yard, and all modern conveniences. Hidden Lake is a small quiet self-contained community of all ages, races, and ethnicities. It is not gated, just a hidden gem of single-family homes. We are minutes from grocery stores, gas stations, fast food establishments, and twenty minutes from Interstate 75, Paddock Mall, and other shopping and entertainment experiences. The many nearby lakes and rivers are scenic and filled with fish, manatees, turtles, and even monkeys. Kayaks, boats, and paddleboards will give you close up opportunities for viewing. The World Equestrian Center and Ocala Horse Park are ten minutes away. Both have events open to the public along with numerous dining options. Tons of trails await for the walking, biking, and/or running enthusiasts.
Show more...Responsibilities
Your primary responsibility will be to love and care for our pups. They are up early for their first pee of the day (5:00) and breakfast, then return to sleep for a couple of more hours. We do walk them on a leash around the neighborhood so they can do their pooh. They have run of the house, lanaii, and yard, and they do love to run and fetch their toys. They get a 10:30 and 4:00 snack, with their evening meal at 6:00. They get an evening walk for their last pooh of the day. Bedtime is aKeround 9:00. Feel free to acclimate them to your wake-up and bedtime. We realize not everyone goes to bed and wakes up early. Ken is the early bird. Holly is a night owl. We have a plethora of plants that will need watering, depending upon the amount of rainfall during your stay. Explicit instructions will be left in our home about the watering requirements.

We briefly met Ken and Holly right before their trip and they were very friendly. They prepared a comprehensive welcome guide and we kept in contact throughout the week. Their lovely house has a wonderful pool and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. There are also several stores close by. Sienna and Missy are the cutest sisters. They are smart, well-behaved, and they play so well together. They have great personalities. We enjoyed our week with them and wouldn't hesitate to sit for them again.
