National Capital - Ottawa
Rebecca
We live in a quiet neighbourhood near Britannia Beach and the Ottawa River. The house is a 3-storey semi-detached and we know our neighbours well. There are four bedrooms, One with ensuite bath. One and one-half other bathrooms. We have cable, high-speed internet, WIFI, Prime and Netflix. One spoiled calico cat has timed outdoor privileges. One feral outdoor cat gets fed at the backdoor. There's lots of wildlife in the area so we need to be careful not to also feed squirrels, skunks and raccoons. This is a short trip (2 weeks) to Europe. As retirees, the cats are used to using being home, so we need someone who is responsible and trustworthy and home a lot, Rebecca has an extensive garden, which will still be mostly frozen at the start of April. However, there will be seeds sprouting in the basement under lights and indoor houseplants to water. If this feels like a lot, we can arrange to have one of the neighbour kids come by to take care of the plants.
