House Sitter in San Francisco, California

We are a couple in our 60's from New York who will be visiting SF for Christmas to see our daughter and son in law. We would love to find a house sitting arrangement in or around her neighborhood (Russian Hill) so that we can be close to them. We are responsible and friendly and we will take loving care of your home, pets and plants as if they were our own. A bit about us: We are originally from Northern Ireland but have been in the US since the 70's. We have five children and seven grandchildren who we love dearly. We are a caretaker and a handyman for a large religious facility in Westchester County NY so we have lots of knowledge when it comes to maintenance and upkeep of a property. We love to garden and are more than happy to tend to yours! We love dogs and we're currently missing a dog in our lives. Our beloved Bailey died four years ago and we still miss him all the time. Our son has a new dog Nala that he brings by to stay with us frequently. Please no cats as we are allergic. We are available in SF from 12/22- 1... but my daughter has said that she can continue if your dates exceed that time.
