We have one very sweet part Siamese indoor outdoor cat that we don’t think would do very well traveling. He loves to have a lot of human interaction.
We would love help with any random packages that are delivered while we are away.
Watering plants (indoor and outdoor) would be a huge help!

Comments: Charm, quiet, nature - 3 acres in the St. Joseph River, across from St. Patrick’s County Park, close to Notre Dame campus, also bikeable. Close to many stores, restaurants, services, but feels like a riverfront getaway in nature. Fully furnished.
