We are looking for a housesitter to care our indoor cat and twelve (outdoor!) hens, water a few houseplants and generally keep an eye on our home during our absence.
We live on Bainbridge Island, a 35-minute ferry ride from Seattle, Washington. Our house is 3,200 sq ft on an acre in a quiet neighborhood. It's a lovely area for walking and cycling, with nearby beach access and plenty of hiking and nature trails nearby. We have a first floor guest bedroom for you to use, with a full-size bed and adjacent bathroom. We have a chef's kitchen, propane fireplace, WiFi, TV, heat pump and outdoor firepit you're welcome to use. In the event of a power outage, we have an automatic generator.
Bainbridge Island has a small downtown, Winslow, about 12 minutes away with a grocery store, restaurants and various other amenities, but none of these are within walking distance to our home so you will need a car.
Ideally, we would like someone who adores cats, as Pickles is extremely friendly, and who is comfortable caring for chickens. Please note that unfortunately, ferry service can be unreliable at times so this may create frustration for someone intending to commute back and forth to Seattle for work. Thank you!
