We live in the Washington DC Metro area and need a mature single or couple to house-sit and be a human companion for our 2 cats - Shadow (11 years) & Chloe (8 years).
Our cats are indoor/outdoor so the primary responsibilities are interacting/petting/brushing both cats, feeding both cats, cleaning the litter box daily, and letting both cats outside and back inside. Also, keeping our home maintained, tidy, and as clean when you leave as it was when you arrived.
You will stay in our guest room with a queen bed and use a full bathroom. We live in a quiet neighborhood in the suburbs of Northern Virginia outside the Washington, DC metro area. Our home is a townhouse with the living room, dining room, kitchen, and 1/2 bath on the main (middle) level; 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs; and a family room, guest room and full bath downstairs.
There is much to do and see in this area including access Washington DC by the Ashburn Metro (10 minutes drive from our home), several easy-to-reach regional, state, and national parks, and hiking and biking trails.
There are grocery stores and many international restaurants in the area.
Your own transportation is required.
Wireless internet is available. We have Verizon FiOS and is very stable. Multiple people use it at the same time
The timeframe is flexible by a couple of days. We are planning a driving trip and would like to be gone February and March.
Our adult daughter lives in Washington, DC and would be available in the event of an emergency.
