House Sitter in Chicago, Illinois

I'm a Harvard-educated software developer and computer scientist. I just moved to Chicago for work (at a tech company downtown) and am looking for a permanent apartment. In the meantime, I'm crashing on my brother's couch, and it's getting a bit claustrophobic. If you're leaving town for a week or more, I'll look after your place and any flora and fauna that come with it. What you get: World's most reliable, clean, respectful, quiet, animal-loving, trouble-free house- and pet-sitter. What I get: A free bed and a place to plug in my laptop; hopefully, a coffeepot. Win-win! (Note - I don't share my Facebook account with other websites but I'm happy to share it with you personally.)
