I am a grad student finishing up my PhD at University of Maryland. I own a house in Baltimore and I am looking for someone to watch my dog while I am in a workshop in Indiana from mid June- mid August. Also, I need somebody, could be the same person, possibly to care for my two cats and two rabbits during the summer and while I am in Croatia researching for my dissertation from August 2006-August My house is divided into three apartments so I have two housemates and a roommate (two of whom travel 4-6 months out of the year.) The third roommate is also a doctoral student working on dissertation research. For the summer I am looking for someone to live here rent *free* (plus small stipend to finance gas and groceries) and care for the animals. For the remainder of the year, I am looking for someone to care for my two cats and two rabbits (scoop litter twice each week, feed and water.) Since they are pretty low maintenance, I might request very small amount of rent ($ to pay a portion of utilities (negotiable.) I'll be taking the dogs with me to Croatia but not to the summer workshop. I have a large fenced yard, so responsibilities include letting out the dogs times daily, feeding, watering, and playing (my smaller dog is a ball of engery.) My house is convenient to the Baltimore public bus line, the University of Maryland shuttle which also travels directly to downtown Baltimore, and I'm about about 2 miles from a MARC train station with daily service to DC. The house is located about 10 minutes from downtown Baltimore and 40 minutes from DC. *Furnished *Patio and Deck overlooking garden *Washer/Dryer *Modern Kitchen and bath newly renovated includes dishwasher *Central AC *Fireplace *Computer and printer with wireless, highspeed internet *TV with cable * Possibility of access to my car Toyota Corolla S) Contact me if you are interested.
