We need a housesitter for 2 and a half weeks from March 20 through April 7, We have a puss named Toots and a rescue beagle named Sally. The two girls are good friends although Toots is an indoor Manx cat and Sally loves walks and rides in the car and lots and lots of affection. Toots is an indoor cat and needs some attention and Sally is a six year old beagle and all that means so she is great fun. You do have to curtail her overeating...she still doesn't believe she was rescued to a warm and loving home.
Our small, Tudor style home has a fireplace, back garden with a large deck and is located on a penninsula; a boating community/town not 20 miles from Manhattan by LIRR train. Our 2-2 bedroom home has a lovely backgarden and one can sit out on the deck in the evening, with Sally on a leash, and watch the birds in their feeder or birdbath although the weather is still sort of iffy...Spring weather is not too predictible. You can walk to lovely parks, beaches, library, restaurants (81), public transportation, movie theatres, and the harbor overlooking Long Island Sound. It is a small, little jewel...quiet and peaceful but hop on the train, and you are downtown Manhattan in 30 minutes!!! We are near many attractions too numerous to mention which are easily reached by public transportation. Our animals can be left for brief periods of time but need someone at night of course, and in the day, 3 -4 good walks and basically, just love and kindness.
