My requirements for a house sitter are: a quiet, neat person who likes and can care for two cats plus my house. The area in which I live has within walking distance the cats' vet, a post office, library, banks, three foodmarkets including a Kosher foodmarket and a natural foodmarket, Walgreens and another pharmacy, several restaurants, an optician, a GNC, a walk- in clinic, bus routes, a Marshalls clothing store, a Blockbuster Video, a Staples, three gas stations, one with an excellent, helpful, and honest mechanic, three haircutting establishments, a nail salon, two beverage stores, and probably much more that I have not put into this list.
West Hartford has a beautiful town center with lovely stores and wonderful restaurants and is on a bus route, so it is easily accessible for the nondriver. It is a good walk from my house for someone who likes to walk and is about ten minutes or less by car from my house. In fact, the town center is on the some street in which I live.
My house was built circa 1748 and is on the Historic Register. However, every room had been modernized through the years by all its owners, and it has a modern kitchen with modern appliances. There are four bedrooms but one has been made into an office. There are two bathrooms. The upstair's bath has a tub and shower. The downstairs bath is a 1/2 bath. The heat is gas. I have high-speed internet access, a modern phone system, and cable TV.
The cats are altered males, brothers, very social and loving. They are indoor cats and not allowed outside.
Thank you for your consideration.
