Location:   Evanston, Illinois

Assignment Description:

Renovated, art filled 1864 home one block from Lake Michigan, a mile from Northwestern University, walking distance to shops, restaurants, grocery and drug stores. Home has three bedrooms, two newly renovated baths upstairs, and a powder room downstairs, a gigantic living room, a separate dining room, and renovated kitchen. Responsibilities include: Caring and loving our two Maine Coon cats (one a senior who is healthy but needs a bit more attention), watering plants, house upkeep (cleaning service every two weeks). Not a lot in exchange for a stay in a lovely home on a stellar block in a friendly and vibrant neighborhood. Flash: It will be winter in Chicago.  You'll need to enjoy winter sports, unspoiled snow, walks along the lake, or hanging in front of a wood burning fireplace.  Snow shoveling, too.  


Street parking always available.  If no car, the "el" is a short 4 block walk, Uber and taxi service are always at the ready.

We don't leave until the morning of February 2, 2019.  But if  you are coming from out-of-state, we require an in person meeting and walk through on February 1.  You will be responsible for one night at a local hotel or airbnb.
