We live in a 5000 square foot home on the water. We have two fish and four cats. There is no litter box - the cats go in and out for the bathroom (although we leave a window open for them during the day to do so). They are very independent and just need fresh food, water, and occasional snuggles/treats. 

The home is very comfortable with a nice kitchen to cook in, restaurants and a park a short walk away, and close to downtown Jacksonville (and other historic neighborhoods). 

We are eager to find a housesitter that will keep our home tidy and be careful with our animals. We also often have people working at the house on various projects -- housecleaning, home repair, yard work, etc. No one needs to be home for that but I like to give the heads up. 

The house would be yours for the summer -- again, we just want someone responsible who will keep it up. Our previous housesitters have been very young and aren't very good at keeping a tidy home. We pay in addition to staying at the home. 

It's a beautiful place featured in Southern Living when it was first built: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/jacksonville-home-filled-old-florida-013939426.html

Thanks for your consideration!
