Job Description : HOUSE MANAGER & COCKATOO CARETAKER
Las Vegas, NV
POSITION OVERVIEW
In Las Vegas, Nevada, a private couple seeks a hands-on House Manager/Pet Caretaker to oversee their daily home and property operations and develop a nurturing relationship with their beloved “feather baby,” a 27-year-old Cockatoo. The young, early retired couple spends a great deal of time at home and looks forward to spending more time traveling together in the future. They seek an individual who can provide house management support, develop a nurturing relationship with the Cockatoo, and eventually house/pet sit when they travel. The couple’s home is approximately 6,000 sq feet, has two floors, a pool, and sits on a half-acre lot. This hands-on role will develop efficient work streams, ensure that the home is maintained in proper working order, perform daily errands and general household duties. The House Manager will proactively oversee and coordinate maintenance and household vendors, including outsourced housekeepers. Prior experience with exotic birds would be ideal but being a true animal lover willing to learn and develop a trusting relationship with the family’s Cockatoo is paramount. This is a new role, and the House Manager will report directly to the couple.
Household responsibilities include grocery shopping, running family errands, assisting with light meal prep and/or clean-up, light housekeeping/general tidying, organizing home projects, coordinating property maintenance, inventory maintenance, holiday décor, and helping the couple with miscellaneous tasks. Property responsibilities include preventative maintenance scheduling, “fix-it” resolution, vehicle maintenance, and overseeing landscape maintenance vendors. Pet caretaking responsibilities involve providing emotional and physical interaction with the Cockatoo. These parrots are extraordinarily intelligent, have a long lifespan, and flourish with regular attention and engagement. Interested candidates must be genuinely committed to learning how to care for and nurture one of these special creatures. The couple hopes to have this role develop a longstanding and trusting relationship with the Cockatoo to free them to travel together comfortably. Candidates must be willing and able to house/pet sit for long weekends and eventually for extended periods (several weeks at a time).
The successful candidate will move about the residence discreetly and have experience working in a private home. Given that the couple is often at home, candidates should be skilled at “reading a room,” preserving the couple’s privacy, and maintaining a comfortable, professional working relationship. They should further have a genuine interest in serving as a long-term companion to the couple’s beloved pet Cockatoo. Local Candidates are preferred. The daily schedule will be Monday – Friday from roughly 9:00 am to 6:00 pm with occasional weekends and overnights when the couple is traveling (advance notice will be given to the employee).
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
EXOTIC BIRD CARETAKING
o Bird H*andling* – Physically capable and emotionally willing to handle birds safely, confidently, and affectionately. The couple will provide training, but the candidate must be comfortable and ready to work closely with an exotic bird. This includes safely transferring the bird from the cage, willingness to hold and interact with the bird (while in and out of their cage) and providing exceedingly close safety supervision when spending daily time outside of their cage. For example, this includes proactively “bird-proofing” spaces and constantly watching for chew hazards.
o Feeding & Medication Administration – Will support the couple with maintaining daily feeding, watering, and medication schedules as assigned. The couple will manage the relationship with veterinarian(s), but this role may liaise with medical care when the couple is out of town.
o Cage Cleaning – Will provide routine cage cleaning and frequent tidying of spaces surrounding the cage.
o Emotional Support & Companionship – Provide the emotional and physical companionship critical for ensuring the optimum mental health of the bird and building trust with the couple that this standard of care will be provided in their absence.
o Extended Travel Support – Potentially assist with sourcing and helping to set up vacation residences when the couple opts to travel with the bird.
Vendor & STAFF Management
o Vendor & Service Contracts/Project Management – Provide initial review of vendor and service quotes for accuracy, track hours for appropriateness and consistency. Understand the project’s scope, manage the progress, and audit invoices. Coordinate and supervise site access according to established security protocols.
o Source, Vet, Schedule, and Manage – Establish a respectful rapport with existing vendors and work collaboratively to support the couple’s vendor expectations.
property & asset management support
o Preventative & Routine Maintenance – Assist with the on-the-ground household, property, and project needs for the property. Establish routine preventive maintenance schedules, including daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly task lists. Liaise with all vendors.
o Development of House Manual – Responsible for the documentation of proper care/maintenance protocols for all household and property equipment, including appliances and systems (i.e., HVAC, security systems, solar panels, etc.) and their related maintenance logs, user instructions, operating manuals, warranties, records, etc. The House Manual will also include documentation of procedures for stocking par lists & reordering – for property, household, personal supplies, perishable items, replacement parts, etc.
o Property Walkthroughs – Survey and record property conditions, maintenance needs, and deficiencies as reported or as observed.
o Property Repairs – Identify repairs, gather quotes from trusted vendors, and submit for approval. Follow up to make sure repairs are handled expeditiously.
o Security – Understand the property’s security system and work with security vendors to ensure proper operations and maintenance.

o Status Reporting – Maintain proactive communication with the couple to ensure they are fully apprised of logistics regarding projects, vendors, “fix-its,” household schedules, including meal planning, etc. This role will require two-way communication between the House Manager and the couple so that they have the opportunity to provide direction, clarification and express preferences proactively.
household & personal services
o Errands & Grocery Shopping – Purchase necessary home goods, groceries and fulfill other requests utilizing both online and in-store purchases. Proactively monitor expiration dates andpar levels.
o Food & Meal Prep – Assist with daily light food prep, prepare occasional simple and healthy family-style meals with nice presentation abilities, and clean up after the couple cooks. The couple enjoys cooking several days a week but will welcome having the House Manager prepare meals several times per week, including occasional light breakfast and lunches and leave behind meals. The couple prefers to dine privately and serve themselves; this role will assist with kitchen clean-up following meal completion and dinnerware clean-up the following morning. Photos of examples of family-style food preparations and menus are welcomed!
o Stocking & Inventory Control -Oversee stocking of the couple’s desired toiletries, wardrobe items, household supplies, pantry, office supplies, linen closets, storage areas and ensure inventories are organized and current.
o Mail and Packages -Retrieve and sort mail daily and coordinate shipping, returns, etc.
