Spend Christmas in New England with Melody the cat.
Introduction
We are a retired couple living in a single family house in a quiet neighborhood located one mile from the City Center of Woburn Massachusetts. Melody, our friendly 9 year old rescue cat, needs some attentive and playful company while we travel. We love traveling and in the 55 years of our marriage, we have visited numerous countries and over 50 of the National Parks in the United States. Also in the past 14 years, we have traveled over 150,000 miles in our RV in North America. Often we have house sat for friends and relatives. We are current with our booster immunizations, remain COVID free and practice safe COVID protocols. Because we are older and in an at-risk category, we ask that prospective sitters be fully vaccinated and nonsmokers. We have had such wonderful experiences with our previous house sitters through Trusted Housesitters and we enjoy providing as easy and comfortable a stay as possible to those who are able to help us.

Sitting for Bob and Maureen was fantastic! Very nice home, great neighborhood and Melody (their beautiful kitty) was such a joy! If we're in the area we'd definitely enjoy sitting for them again.
