Charlottesville Virginia

I am looking for someone to take care of my lovely country home and two easygoing house cats while I am traveling.

About the Home
My home is a 15 minute drive into Charlottesville, a lovely university town with lots of cafes, music, and dozens of vineyards and breweries, not to mention Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home. I am at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a 15 minute drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail and Shenandoah National Park. Within walking distance is a supermarket, 5 restaurants, bank and other shopping. Several miles of walking and biking trails are right outside the door of my six acres, but you might just want to enjoy the peace and quiet that is abundant in my woods, pasture and nearby spring fed pond. This is a great base from which to explore the larger area of Washington DC (2 hours), Richmond (90 minutes), Shenandoah Valley (20 minutes) or even Virginia Beach (3 hours). In winter you may be interested in visiting the two ski resorts, Wintergreen and Massanutten, that are about a 45 minute drive away.

The Cats
My two cats are low maintenance, no medications or wet foot, and simply need to be enjoyed and played with. Their automatic feeder only needs to be filled once every week, so you can easily take short trips around the region without worrying about them.
