I live in downtown Merida, close to shopping, restaurants, the local market, museums, art galleries, etc., all within walking distance. For travel further afield there is bus service within walking distance as well as taxi service. My house is a spacious renovated colonial, with 17 foot ceilings in the original part. There are 2 bedrooms with ensuite baths; a reception room, living room, dining room, patio and small yard with small pool. I need a housesitter for a month May 25-June 25, 2018 The duties entail: caring for 2 cats...feeding, litter box maintenance and play; maintaining house and backyard (including a small pool); in excellent condition and cleanliness; payment of bills -- probably only electric, for which a stipend will be provided. A couple with handyman skills would be ideal. You must love cats and be OK with some ambient city noise. Ability to speak Spanish a plus. I require 2 references which I will check in detail.
