House Sitting

I am looking for help while I am away

I would like help with my pet(s)

We have two affectionate, healthy, indoor-only cats (father/son) who will remain at the house while we’re away so will need routine care (feeding + litter tending)

I would like help with mail and deliveries

We’ll put our mail service on hold while we’re away, but pieces of mail may still occasionally arrive in the box.

I would like help with plants or garden

There are a few indoor plants that require weekly watering.
