We have a beautiful old home in North Portland, very close-in, in the fabulous Mississippi neighborhood. You can walk or take public transportation everywhere easily. We have an extra lot (huge yard) with a fabulous tree house as well. Our cat is old (19), but in great shape. She likes a lot of love and attention. Our chickens just need locking up and night, letting out in the morning, and refilling of water/food. Pretty easy. We need a house sitter who is very neat, clean and respectful. The house is in great shape but it's old and needs to be treated with TLC.
