Cozy bungalow near charming downtown Staunton!

Introduction

We just moved back to Virginia. Caitlin works for a local nonprofit Alliance for the Shenandoah working on stream quality. Michael is a Charlottesville firefighter. We love to travel, and usually take a couple long trips each year.

Home & location

We live one mile (20 minute walk) from downtown Staunton, which features beautiful historic architecture, as well as great restaurants, theaters, and other cultural offerings. We're also within walking distance of two great parks: Gypsy Hill and Montgomery Hall. Shenandoah Valley is a gorgeous place to visit any time of year. There are endless hiking, biking and water activities. There are many caverns and festivals as well. We're also 20 minutes from Waynesboro, 35 minutes from Harrisonburg and 40 minutes from Charlottesville. Richmond is an hour-and-a-half east and Roanoke is an hour-and-a-half west.

Responsibilities

Our two cats, which require minimal work, will need to be taken care of every time we're out of town. They'll need to be fed twice daily: in the morning and right before bed. They love to cuddle. They'll sleep with you every night or cuddle with you while you are laying on the couch. We just moved to this area so we are trying to keep them inside as much as possible. Our dogs -Bucklee and Dottie need to be fed twice daily: once in the morning, once at night. They can be left alone at home for up to eight(ish) hours. They will need to be walked at least once a day. We have a small fenced in yard they can be let out in. Dottie needs to be watched. Dottie is energetic, yet smart and sweet, and she knows when to calm down. Bucklee, is extremely laid back all the time.

Michael and Caitlyn’s place was great! The pets are so sweet. Willow has a lot of energy but they are very easy maintenance. Bucklee is the most adorable gentle giant. He’s a great cuddler. The place is beautiful and we loved having the fire pit and hot tub to relax. It feels very private and secluded with nice mountain views about a mile up the road. Beautiful drive into town, too. We would definitely sit for Michael and Caitlyn again, and would highly recommend their place.

They took excellent care of our home and our pets while we were away for a couple days. I'd highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable house/pet sitter.
