If you want a house sitter who will actually be home most of the day, I am a good choice. As a student, I will only be out - hours a day. As a shy yet mature grad student, I will not be throwing any parties, nor will I be out most weekends.
My best friends are my books, your pets, and my playstation. Furthermore, I'm allergic to accumulated dust, I don't cook, and I take whatever garbage I may have accumulated out the house with me just about every time I leave. Therefore, your house is all but guaranteed to be in immaculate condition upon your return. Finally, I really do love pets. I have no idea how to appropriately convey that, but, I love animals.
