Rental Rates and Terms

Rates from USD $1500 Monthly | Negotiable

The cost of utilities can be discussed

A cleaning service is not included

Comments: Renters pay electricity because AC is $$. We have a very friendly out-side-only "farm" dog named Rudy. He LOVES other dogs and kids. The low rental rate for a house this size reflects the fact that we need the renters to feed Rudy and water plants.

Considerations

The home is suitable for young kids

Pets are allowed

Ask about smoking in the home

Ask about the availability of a car

Comments: Have 3-in-one crib-to bed, all kinds of toddler and little kid necessities and fun stuff. Still have baby gates. Smoking outdoors is fine. Our 15 year old Ford Ranger pick-up will remain on site and would like renters yo drive it occasionally.

House Sitting

I am looking for help while I am away

I would like help with my pet(s)

Rudy is VERY easy. Just needs a scoop of food twice a day and some love. Neighbor can feed him if you go out of town. He'll follow you (mostly) on walks and bark when unknown cars approach the house. He's our security system.

I would like help with plants or garden

Inside plants need to be watered about 2x week. Tending the low-maintance "gardens" around the house is optional. Grass cutting: at least the area around the house cut few times a month w/riding mower.
