House Sitter in Washington, District of Columbia

We have all been there. I am a new DC international development employee, and you have guessed it, my job pays very poorly. However, to get said job, I needed a master degree which was very expensive. Seems like a Catch 22, well, because it is. I am a great house-sitter because the economy is and doing side-jobs is the only way a person in the city can feed themselves. My two degrees assist me in completing tasks such as watering the plants, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, and walking/ running the dogs. I am allergic to cats, so I would prefer not to stay overnight, but can do 'checks' on that particular type of house. If you like my sense of humor and feel like I am struggling just the right amount in life, choose me as your house sitter. My crushing responsibilities drive me to do every job well in order to make ends meet. P.S. I really love dogs, but I have a weird phobia to fish (I think it's the no eye-lid thing)--so most pets are welcome.
