House Sitter in Washington, District of Columbia

Hi there, my wife Annie and I are moving to Washington, DC for work. I will be working as a pastor at a church on Capitol Hill, and my wife will be looking for a job in her field of pediatric nursing. We are originally from California, but we have been living and working in Sydney, Australia for the past 5.5 years. (Our address is listed as Texas because we are staying here with my in-laws for the month of May). We are looking to house-sit in the months of June and July. In fact, we are available from May 29th. This timeframe will allow us to get settled in DC and find a house to buy or rent before our beloved 5 year old Labrador, Dillon, and all our personal effects are delivered in early August. We don't have any recommendations, as this is our first time using this service, but I can provide you with a bevy of references you can contact, as well as other information that may help you in the vetting process. We are clean and respectful, and we love animals!
