Hi! I'm looking for a house and petsitter during the Christmas holiday when I will be traveling abroad. The house is renovated 1894 Victorian in the Pleasantville area of Dorchester. 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, beautifully renovated kitchen. DirectTV, wifi, on-street parking (no residency sticker required). I'm about 20 minutes from downtown Boston via the T (red line, JFK/UMass stop).
My cat is about 15 years old. Her primary hobbies include sleeping, napping, and hibernating. She has no conditions that require medication, though the way she acts when wet food doesn't magically appear every time she asks for it will make you think she has a chemical dependence on tuna bits in gravy. She is nearly blind, so she gets skittish in noisy situations and shies away from strangers until she decides they won't step on her. She doesn't ask much in terms of attention, but seems to like having someone else in the house.
Usual requests apply: no smoking, no drugs, no gatherings or overnight guests.
