Here is what Paul and I will typically do in a week:
Every day feed, water, cuddle the cats and walk the dogs. We welcome the cats on to the bed and spend rather a lot of time playing with the animals. We give them our own nicknames and baby them all a fair bit.
Water the plants as they need it. In the summer this is lots, in the winter just a little bit.
Pick up the mail daily and sort it out.
Email the owners if anything needs to be attended to. Last week I mailed something out to a homeowner because she had forgotten it.
Check all the taps and pipes to make sure nothing has frozen.
Deal with the garbage, compost and recycling as it comes up.
Pick up anything that is delivered. This week we went into town to pickup something that was ordered at the hardware store.
Keep the homefires burning. Run the furnace every day as directed and keep the house from getting too cold.
Other duties as required.
In the summer we do a bit on the lawns and the garden, in winter cut wood and keep the firebox stocked. All in all it is not too hard, more a case of being onhand if something comes up.
Our number 1 priority is usuallly to make sure that the pets are happy and healthy. It is a great life really.
