We are looking for cat sitters for October 2012.
We live in a 1918 Bungalow in the historic downtown area of Martinez CA (home of the Martini and Joe diMaggio) that we would like to exchange, rent-free, for cat sitting services. We will be gone from October We have two cats.
It's a great, old, comfortable house with brand new gourmet kitchen and three brand new bathrooms. Martinez has an Amtrak station within walking distance from the house, we're two minutes from the freeway and about 10 minutes (by car or bus) from the BART station for short trips out of town. We have two Farmer's Markets a week (Thursday and Sunday) and public Bocce courts within walking distance.
We have two marvelous kitties, Murray and Lillian. Both kitties are mature, Murray is in his prime and Lillian is a little old lady - she has recently become blind and deaf but can find her food and the kitty box fine and is still grooming okay. She sleeps a lot in a couple of the special warm parts of the house and is still very cuddly.
We prefer a mature couple but the right single person would also be okay. No pets and no smoking policy is firm.
Our request is for house exchange for pet sitting service only, please don't reply if you charge a fee. Thanks!
Hope we can make a match.
