Free Rent & Utilities in Exchange for Care of Pets & Rescues

Nice in-law unit built in 2013 is available in a good location on the border of Redwood City and Woodside, close to 280 and Woodside Road, just off Alameda, about 10 minutes from Stanford. Approximately 450 sq ft in-law unit is attached to the house but has separate entry with small, private yard. Kitchen includes refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave. Bathroom is marble tile with shower over a deep soaker tub. Flooring in the rest of the unit is hardwood. Unit also includes private washer and dryer.

The job entails 14-18 hours per week of chores.

Most of these chores involve taking care of the animals. The animals include our pets as well as rescues that are being fostered. The chores can be DIRTY... cleaning out cages, cleaning up poop.

Other chores include yard work, house work, errands, lifting/moving heavy items, and occasionally petsitting/babysitting our animals and child.

There are some DAILY chores that only take a few minutes. The chores that take longer are done only 1-3 times per week or only once a month, and they can generally be done on your own schedule (within certain constraints, such as during daylight hours).

This job would not be suited to someone who travels frequently or works full time.

There is NO smoking allowed in the unit or the yards. No smoking means no cigarettes, no pot, or anything else.

In exchange for this work is free rent and free utilities, including PG&E, water, sewer, garbage, cable, internet. The value is about $2500 per month.

We prefer to offer the unit furnished with a queen sized bed and also a couch, but can consider offering it unfurnished if you already have furniture and you seem to be a good fit for the job.

If you are interested in doing the work, please respond with information about 1. your experience, 2. hours of availability, 3. how long you would like to live and work here, and 4. any other information that you think may be helpful in figuring out if this is a good fit. Or you can ask questions if you'd like more information. Thank you!
