HOUSE/PET SITTER WANTED
Sydney Rosen is a Global Health faculty member and is looking for a house and pet sitter to stay at my house in Jamaica Plain and look after my two largish dogs and one smallish cat over the winter holidays and if possible other dates in 2015. The house is a very comfortable, single family residence with a yard and garden on a very nice, safe street, 10 minutes’ walk from Forest Hills T Station on the orange line and 20 minutes’ drive to BUSPH. The dogs are 10 and 11 years old but very energetic (and very friendly). They need to be walked 1-2 times per day, for at least 40 minutes a day (and one of them would love to take a run as well). The cat is friendly and mainly just requires a warm lap to sit in. The job requires taking care of the animals and some minor household tasks (plant watering, etc.). There is off street parking, internet, etc. Compensation is $35/day. She is specifically looking to find someone for a week-long period any time between December 20 and January 4. Contact Sydney Rosen, sbrosen@bu.edu.
