We are looking for a person with a special affinity for both dogs and cats from approximately mid November to the end of December Ours is a rural brick home, built in 1992, with some unique features. It is comfortable, and we are slowly remodeling. Entry is through a covered, screened, porch into a Great Room with cathedral ceiling, divided into a kitchen and living room by a counter. The room has a large stone fireplace built by a stonemason. There is a full finished basement, and a loft bedroom with its own bath leading off from the Great Room. Down the hall is a bathroom, laundry, and a master bedroom with an office and walk-in closet attached. A deck extends from the master bedroom to the Great Room on the exterior. The front yard is surrounded by a picket fence. We have installed a walk-in tub in the master bath which has a full range of spa-type amenities. The house sitter will take care of our three dogs and two cats, walking the dogs once a day, weather permitting, and ascertaining that they have ample opportunity to "do their busines" at other times.
