House | Private Space | House Sitting Requested
Available Dates:
From January 6, 2024 until December 31, 2024

Description

Two scenarios— 1) You are here while I am away only, then I pay you $40/day for total animal care. 2) If you want to live here for a longer period, we could exchange rent ($500/month) for animal care ($40/day) and other services (to be negotiated). Must have own auto! 1 hour to Baltimore, 1 ½ - 2 hours to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. in opposite directions. Nearest grocery store is 5 miles away. Nearest mall and other substantial shopping are 12 miles away. In addition to the cultural opportunities in the cities listed, there are other world-class attractions such as Longwood Gardens and other Dupont historical properties (1-1 1/2 hours away). I have lots of extended family nearby to serve as back-up, assistance, or to do the animal care should you want to take off a weekend, for example.
