Hi. . .
Thanks for your interest in caring for our home!
While my husband and I are traveling in our Airstream for ~ 4 months this summer (July - October), we are seeking a trustyworthy house sitter who will care for our home like their own.
We live on a 3-acre, private, wooded lot in a small and quiet 9-home community just 20 minutes from downtown Annapolis, MD (home of the US Naval Academy) and are within a 45 minute drive to Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD. It is also an easy 3 hour drive to the beautiful beaches of Maryland & Delaware and the same or shorter distance to the mountaineous areas of Maryland and surrounding states. I shouldn't save this for last but we are also just few minute drive to many of the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay!
Enjoy our well-cared for and nicely-appointed 4-bedroom home, which includes a workout/game room in our basement, office space (2 offices) and outside patio with fireplace. In addition, we have a home security system and an automatic generator which can power most of the house in the event of an electrical outage.
We will be taking our 13-year old Wheaton Terrier with us on the trip, but are seeking someone to keep an eye on the house and keep things in good order. This includes things like: dusting and cleaning the lived-in areas of the house on a every other week basis (including before we return home); watering plants; ensuring that all mechanical & electrical systems (HVAC, whole house dehumidifier, plumbing, etc) in house are functioning properly and scheduling our service company if not; picking up sticks/debris in the yard in the event of storms; pulling weeds in the mulched beds around the property. We will have a lawn service that will mow the lawn and trim the bed edges every other week.
Thanks again for considering sitting our home! We look forward to hearing from you!
