Greetings! We have two lovely cats who need care and companionship while we are gone. They are easy-care kitties; Dr. Einstein is super friendly, but Miss Beatrix Potter takes a bit of convincing before she'll hop on your lap. They will need feeding morning and evening.
The four of us (Mom, Pop, kitties) live on Fox Island, Washington State. We have a 1940s waterfront cottage with bulkhead and dock. We have a lovely view of Honeymoon Bay, the Fox Island bridge (no ferry required), Puget Sound, and the Olympic mountains. We're a twelve minute drive from Gig Harbor where there are tons of shops and restaurants, and a twenty minute drive from Tacoma. Of course, no island is complete without a pub.
Our 1440 square foot cottage has one bedroom (queen-size bed). There is a spiral staircase, so if you have mobility issues, please keep that in mind. The property is good sized, but there is NO lawn to mow. Depending upon the weather, you may need to set sprinklers and water outdoor potted plants. We want mature, experienced housesitter(s) with outstanding references who will keep our home and gardens well maintained and tidy, and who will love our kitties in our absence. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you -- Michele and Carl
