I think I've got a window coming this coming year where I could take a leave of abscence from work - and about the only issue I've got to figure out is what to do with my house. . .I have a mortgage but the payments are pretty low but I've also got an older dog with ACL problems that would not be able to hike the trail.
Options seem to be the following:
A) Have a friend or family member watch the dog - and rent out the house (probably needing to get a PM firm to manage things)
B) Have a friend or family member house/dog sit either paying them or at least giving them a really good deal on the house
C) Find a professional dog/house sitter. . .
Any help is appreciated!
