Our home

We live in a one bedroom in NE Portland with a full kitchen, dining area, and a queen sized bedroom. Our windows overlook a lovely little park next door, and we're walking distance to several grocery stores, plenty of restaurants, and another larger park. We don't have AC, but we've found with north-facing windows our apartment actually stays quite cool in the summer. We have fans if it does get hot.

We live in a one bedroom in NE Portland with a full kitchen, dining area, and a queen sized bedroom. Our windows overlook a lovely little park next door, and we're walking distance to several grocery stores, plenty of restaurants, and another larger park. We don't have AC, but we've found with north-facing windows our apartment actually stays quite cool in the summer. We have fans if it does get hot.
We are in an 8-unit building on a fairly quiet street, and all folks here are very respectful and quiet. I'd love our sitter to be on the same page about that. We don't drink, and no other units make noise even on weekends. The entire building is quiet by 9-10PM every day of the week.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We are in NE Portland right in the middle of several busy streets with tons of shopping, restaurants, cafes, and workout studios. We're a 10-20 minute walk almost anything you could want. We also both have bikes and are a 2 minute walk to a bus stop. Street parking is plentiful as well.

Our pets

CatsCats (1)
Ivy is a sweet little kitty who just loves cuddles and play time! I work remote, so she really is just used to being snuggled most of the day. She eats 2x a day, and will let you know when its getting close to meal time. I'm really just looking for someone who can hang with her throughout the day stay here overnight while we're gone so she's less anxious while we're away.
Ivy can be a little bit tricky around food. We have to keep all of our snacks/oils/breads/etc in a closed cabinet. She will find it and eat it if it's not closed away. She also may try stealing some of your food while cooking, so we are pretty attentive with her. If you put her on the curio cabinet in the kitchen, she usually ends up just chilling out and watching. If she's persistent, we'd recommend a little bathroom time-out while you cook and eat :) You also will have to wash dishes basically right away to make sure she doesn't beat you to it.

Our garden
