I just got an invite to my brother's house in Oregon to view the solar eclipse on August 21st. I live in a wonderful small home in Port Townsend, and I plan to be gone 4-5 days,all of which is flexible except for the 21st, when I need to be in Oregon. A bit of watering may be necessary in the garden, weather-dependent, of course. Port Townsend is a lovely Victorian Seaport, with a focus on the arts. I'm bringing my puppy to Oregon, and Tillie, the cat, has never spent a night alone in her 1.5 years, so a bit of company would be nice for her. She is an easy cat, friendly, in a typical way for kitties. Definitely likes people, and this will be an easy job, feeding her 2 times/day and cleaning her box 2 times per day. She is an indoor cat, although sometimes not too happy about that. I have a lovely home to offer, and would like someone who wants a vacation in Port townsend and doesn't need to be paid to housesit for Tillie. If someone wants to come and lives in the general area, I do hope to go away other times in the future, although never for too long, and if it works out, I can often plan around the housesitter's schedule. We have so many festivals here, and definitely a tourist-attractive town. thank you. I would like to leave around the 19th of August, with a bit of flexibility to accommodate you. No smokers, please, or loud parties!
