We are seeking a non-smoking, responsible house sitter who loves cats and is neat, clean, and trust worthy.
Location: We have a lovely single-story house located on the outskirts of the northeast Denver, Colorado metro area. The house is within easy walking distance from a large supermarket. It's a half-hour drive from downtown Denver, the Denver International Airport, and from marvelous hiking in the Rocky Mountain foothills above Boulder. The beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park is an easy two-hour drive away.
Responsibilities: In addition to caring for two loving Maine Coone cats (a 14-year-old lady and a 2-year-old boy), our house sitter will also care for the house and yard (including shoveling if there's a late spring snow storm), water a small assortment of houseplants, pick up mail, put out the trash and recycling, and in general make sure our home is occupied and secure. Because we will be traveling in the Spring, mowing the lawn may or may not be necessary.
Amenities: The house includes all the usual amenities (heat/air conditioning, dishwasher, washer/dryer, built-in vacuum system), as well as high-speed wireless internet, cable TV, and a monitored alarm system. The yard has an automatic sprinkler system and a self-propelled lawn mower.
The surrounding neighborhood has a large network of bicycle paths and parks which can be explored on foot or on one of our bicycles.
