Welcome to Washington DC! (Actually Falls Church, VA, across the street from a DC metro stop.) I am looking for a house sitter for approximately 5 weeks, from about 18 June to 24 July (I will have more exact dates in a week or two, once I book my flights). I don't have any pets, so no pet sitting, and I can not have a sitter bring pets. I would like a single person or couple to care for my home, take in the mail, water the plants, and keep things inside tidy. I prefer an experienced house sitter, and one who has been, or is currently, a Home Owner.
I live in the village of Falls Church, VA, inside the DC beltway - best of both world, small town and big city! I am a 5-minute walk from a Washington DC metro stop (Orange Line) which will take you to all the DC attractions. My home is walking distance to a grocery store, a pharmacy, Starbucks, and many restaurants - Indian, Thai, Italian, Mexican, a Farmer's Market, etc. A car is not necessary with Metro and buses, but there is free garage parking available if you drive. Wifi is available.
My home is a condo/townhouse on 2 levels, and to get to the first level you walk up an outside flight of stairs to the front door, and to get to the guest suite where you will sleep, another set of stairs, so there are lots of stairs! You should be fit!
When you respond, please indicate where you are currently located, and tell me a bit about yourself, your house sitting experience and why you'd like to come to the DC area. Also, I like to connect via a WhatsApp or Facebook videochat with those who are interested, so let me know if that works for you. I have had some great house sitters in the past and I hope the good fortune continues. Thank you most kindly!
