The Basics:
Large, pretty, clean single-family house in suburban, central Maryland (in Kingsview Ridge Neighborhood). Our pet sitters can enjoy our beautiful house and the surrounding area activities as well as visit tourist attractions in Washington DC.

Location:
We're in the Washington, DC metro area about 45 minutes to an hour from central DC by car, train or subway with all the nation's capital has to offer. Ten minutes to I-270 or commuter train station, 15 minutes to nearest subway station (Gaithersburg) by car.

Our House and yard:
The house is very clean, fully furnished with clean beds, fresh bed linens and bath towels. Washer and dryer for your use. This is a non-smoking home with no odors or other unpleasant features. Ditto for the neighborhood.

There is wildlife from surrounding woods and state parks. You'll see deer and birds and hear or see other wildlife such as owls and hawks, foxes, raccoons and even some coyotes. Of course, they aren't dangerous to people or pets!

Requirements:
We prefer a couple. We need trustworthy, mature and kind pet lovers to live at our house, full-time and take care of our pets.

Pet care for two healthy 11- year old cats and one healthy 10-year old Standard Poodle. There is no litter box because the cats go outside. Two walks a day for dog (daytime walk is about a mile, nighttime walk is around our Court) and you must pick up the dog waste on walks or in the yard. Feed dog once a day and cats at least twice a day plus treats for all. The pets should not be left alone for much over 6 hours at a time.

No gardening necessary but there is always plenty to do if you want to!

No mail while we're gone except the newspaper.  You will have to put the trash and recyclables by the curb for collection. 

We require that you have a car and we'll provide a garage space. This is a car-based neighborhood. You can walk to some places if you want but it's about 3 miles to closest stores and restaurants and about 5 miles to other amenities.

Please leave the house as you find it and take care not to damage anything.

We prefer a couple without children but will consider others.

Unless you have a written police check or other ID verification, we do ask for photos of your driver's license(s) ahead of time as we will do a basic background check. You can do the same for us if you like.

Our house is Non-Smoking ONLY and House sitters must be non-smoking. Responsible alcohol use is fine. LEGAL recreational drug use only.

About Us:
We are a retired couple and we love to travel! We're friendly, honest and easy-going people.

More Details:
Our house backs to woods on a quiet court with a fenced yard in a safe, clean, suburban neighborhood. Friendly neighbors!
