Sitters How Do You Feel About Mowing lawns?

Everyone is different - some sitters are happy to mow, while others will definitely skip the listing.

In general, it is fairly uncommon for a listing to ask for mowing & yard work (particularly for a large property). It is helpful when listings mention what exactly the mowing expectations are - if they have a ride-on mower, and how frequent is the mowing is.
