We have a very nice 3BR house in Oakland, in the hills between Grand and Lakeshore avenue. It's a beautiful, quiet and safe area but only 3 blocks from stores and restaurants. Our home is very comfortable, has a big deck, backyard, views and an office with high speed internet. Conveniences such as restaurants, Safeway, Trader Joes, public transit, carpool to the city and beautiful lake Merritt are all within a short walking distance. San Francisco is about a 20 minute drive or 12 minute subway ride away.
We are going on a 3 week trip to South Africa on december 15, coming back january 6th, and are looking for a house/pet sitter (one or two people) for that time. We have two very friendly 1 year old cats that will need some company and care. One of them is mostly outdoors, the other one is mostly indoors (so uses a litterbox). Other than taking care of our cats and plants (and cleaning up after yourself) no duties required.
If this sounds of interest to any cat lovers out there, please contact me... thanks
