Young professional couple seeking house and dog-sitter for a 2 month period, beginning May 2010.
We have a 6 year old German Shorthaired Pointer, who is very energetic and requires a walk every day, Luckily, there is an excellent park in our neighborhood. The dog is well behaved and knows the rules of the house, including staying off the furniture and the bed. My first priority in selecting a house- sitter is to find someone who loves animals, and will be happy to treat our dog as if he were their own.
Our home is a 900 sq ft, first floor, well maintained one bedroom condo with open living, dining, and kitchen area. The house is removed from the street level, for excellent privacy, with a front porch and rear yard with garden for relaxing. We are located one block from the Arnold Arboretum, a beautiful acre park with botanical gardens, and paved and wooded walking trails. On-street parking is ample.
Our home is a five minute walk from the commuter rail train, just one stop to Copley Square, and a 15 minute walk to the Orange Line T, with local stops through Jamaica Plain into the city. We are within easy walking distance of Roslindale Village, a great little downtown with bookstores, boutiques, restaurants, sushi, banks, a supermarket, and more.
