My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 full-bath unit in a modern condo (less than 5 years old) on Michigan Avenue in the South Loop of Chicago. We live near the museum campus along Lake Shore Drive, less than 2 miles south of Millennium Park, and a short walk from the lake front with running/walking/biking trails.
The unit has floor to ceiling windows and is south and west facing (so the unit is bright and has great views of the sunset). The unit also has central air/heating and modern appliances, including a washer and dryer. There is easy/convenient access to public transportation (bus & the L), and nearby grocery stores, restaurants, shops, museums, parks, etc.
We are looking for a house sitter from March 28, 2011 through April 26, 2011 and a pet sitter for our two cats who will be staying in the unit while we are away. The older cat, Izze, is a four-year old orange tabby. His younger sister, Kiko, is a three-year old grey and white cat. We would also ask that the sitter water our plants.
We are looking for a non-smoker to house sit/cat sit for us, and would expect no over-night guests. We would also prefer someone experienced with references from prior house sitting/pet sitting stints. We also ask that the sitter enter into a written contract with us for the house sitting/cat sitting, and provide a security deposit.
