This is a repost as the person who was to be here has unfortunately encountered circumstances that preclude her house sitting for me.
I am looking for a non-smoking cat lover/s to stay at my waterfront house for 3 weeks starting in March I leave March 3, returning March 28.
My biggest concern is my two cats who are very people oriented and pine when there is no one in the house. They are wonderful kitties; Hinckley is the neighborhood greeter, loves everyone. Buddy is a bit freaky until he gets to know you, and then is a real love. They are indoor/outdoor cats and have to come in at dusk as I am in a rural area with coyotes. Their care consists of feeding in the morning and evening, keeping litter boxes clean and opening and closing the doors to let them in and out. This is the biggest chore of any required!
The house itself is very simple. Two bedrooms upstairs with Sleepnumber beds, one California king and one queen. There are 1 3/4 baths and the house sits on an estuary off the Hood Canal. It's a serene and tranquil place with an abundance of bird life. There is a dock where you can have a kayak or small skiff.
This is a very small community and quite remote. So you must enjoy the solitude. The nearest grocery store is half hour away. But neighbors are close. I don't have TV, but there is internet and there is a smarttv for Netflix or Amazon.
I would prefer my house sitter to be female as Buddy, who is a little shy anyway, is not that fond of men.
