We are a couple in our 30s looking for a housesitter to live in our 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment condo for 3 weeks while we are away on vacation.
We need someone who would be willing to look after our 3 cats. This would include feeding/watering, cleaning 1 litter box several times each day and providing play time and companionship to our cats.
Other duties would include collecting and sorting mail, taking down phone messages, watering plants and keeping the apartment clean. The housesitter would be responsible for paying hydro and long distance phone calls made during the time of their stay as well as cable TV (including hookup fee) if desired. Smoking in our apartment would not be permitted.
In exchange for these duties, the housesitter would live rent-free for 3 weeks and enjoy visiting the Ottawa area.
Our condo building is across from the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Ottawa's west end and is on the bus route, making commuting throughout Ottawa very easy. Ottawa is a beautiful city with activities for everyone, including every kind of outdoor sport, museums and galleries, parks and gardens and many terrific restaurants and cafés. Our condo building has an outdoor swimming pool, library, whirlpool, excercise room and is located off the main highway, making it a very peaceful place to live.
It's very important to us that our housesitter is reliable, responsible, clean/tidy and loves animals.
If you think you would enjoy this exchange, we'd be very happy to hear from you!
