This week we feature
a house in
Washington DC USA
Available February to May 2012
I am a recently retired librarian, a single woman in her early 60s, who lives in a townhouse in Rockville, Maryland, USA.
I am looking for someone to stay in my house and care for my two sweet long-haired dachshunds while I am away doing some volunteer work in Burkina Faso from 1st February - 31st May 2012.
The person/s would be responsible for feeding my dogs and walking them at least twice a day. Someone familiar with dachshunds would be a plus as one of my dogs is a former puppy-mill dog and quite shy. The job will, of course,include watering the garden and mowing the grass as needed, and starting the car weekly, to keep the battery running.
The neighborhood is a quiet townhouse community about 12 miles NW of
Washington, DC.
My end-unit 3 bedroom townhouse is not fenced in, which is why the dogs need to be walked.
The master bedroom has a double bed, the guest room has a trundle bed and the third bedroom is used as a study.
There are two full bathrooms and two half bathrooms.
One bathroom features a tub/shower, the other has shower only.
The fully-equipped kitchen has a built-in microware, dishwasher, etc.
There is a finished walk-out basement, which includes a sleep-sofa, and the washing machine and dryer are located there.
There is no garage, however there is ample parking available.
The house is equipped with broadband Internet and wifi, and cable television. There is also an old desktop computer available for use equipped with Skype.
I am close to public transportation (bus line/subway) and will consider making the use my car available if needed.
There is also a bicycle available for your use as there are bicycle paths nearby.
The house is close to a major road so there is some traffic, but the area is wooded and quite lovely in the spring when the azaleas and flowering trees are in bloom. (The cherry blossoms in Washington, DC are in bloom late March/early April)
The location is close to shops, restaurants and easily accessible to the nation's capital city. Washington, DC provides a rich cultural opportunities,while nearby rural upper Montgomery County is ideal for escaping the hubbub of the city.
