About this house sitting position in Maryland

We have a 3 bedroom older style hardy plank home with deck and a granny flat at the back. The young couple that lives in the granny flat lives independently although share our laundry. There is an internal door to close off the laundry. They are a lovely young couple. We're about 20 minutes from the heart of Newcastle and about 5/10 minutes from 3 different shopping centers.
We do have a pool but its only a little one.
We have 2 dogs - Beau is a Sheltie with a beautiful nature and Teddy who is a cross chihuahua miniature poodle. He's a very dependent little dog and just loves to sit on your lap. He loves his brother and loves to be with who ever is looking after him hence why we need someone to stay here whilst we are away. They both sleep in a pen we've made up that leads out to the outside and really just need someone there at night to make sure they don't bark or nothing goes wrong.
We have two very independent cats who live out the front and don't like coming inside ever. Their names are Jess and Sushi. We may spend a little time with them out the front but basically they just want us to feed them and leave them alone.
I have two sons that would be on standby if needed for anything. One works about 5 mins away.
We always leave a note that explains how everything works in the house and about our animals. Read more...
