House to sit...

Some of Housesits filled (House Sitter found) for Providence Rhode Island United States

I am a College Professor and am traveling for work.

Dates: March 11-25. On the 18th and 19th I will be back and willing to pay for you to stay in a nice hotel in Providence in exchange for sitting services, plus a grocery g.c.

1930 Bungalow (approx 1200sq ft) creatively decorated (I'm a graphic designer/photographer)with giant private yard, in very quiet area. I have been here 5 years. All hardwood floors and original details. Your room is furnished with a comfy new full-size bed and basic amenities like a dresser and chair. Wireless and basic cable.................

It's just a few minutes drive from downtown Providence and within walking distance to two bus lines (15min ride to downtown). Walking distance to a bakery, pub & a lebanese/mediterranean restaurant; a peruvian restaurant, and grocery store is super close (walk, bike or very short drive). Neighborhood nearby a local college so good for walking or running. If you bring a car, there's ample secure parking inside the backyard privacy fence gated area...............

Am in need of a dog whisperer and cat lover. I have inside only cats that will probably hide most of the time, but enjoy a little play or catnip on occasion. They will definitely tell you they are hungry. Two kittens I was fostering have joined the mix and at 7 months are providing much entertainment. My two dogs have a regular routine of walks twice daily and when someone is home they enjoy being in the yard. They are medium size and not yippy or aggressive - one is about 35 lbs and the other stands taller but is about 40-45 lbs. The smaller one is extremely shy, but will warm up to the right personality.

Because of the shy dog, someone who is relatively quiet & calm would be ideal. Looking more for a single person rather than a couple (but won't rule that out completely). Solitude is preferred, no BF or GF overnight visits, no parties, etc. No smoking or drugs. Communication via email for updates would be great. You must be a pet lover even with all the issues like litterboxes or occasional shedding............

Looking forward to talking with you more about this opportunity! Thanks.
