House Sitter in Minneapolis, Minnesota

We are a couple in our late 60's, retired, travel a lot (twice a year to Minnesota for 5-6 weeks per visit). We are available for house-sitting, including plant watering, from November 23 through December 25, 2016 anywhere in the Twin City metro area. We live in Austin, Texas, but will be visiting family and friends during the holidays, so are looking for a place. We have never house-sat before, but can provide excellent references of places we've rented in the Twin Cities in the past. We are very quiet non-smokers, and will leave your place as clean as we find it. We prefer no animals.
