I am a professional male in my mid-50s who is available for house-sitting for weekends or extended periods in the East End area (Highland Park to Squirrel Hill). I can feed and walk pets, water plants, take in mail and papers, and generally make your home/apartment look lived-in while you're gone, for security reasons. I'm doing this because am recently divorced, my children are grown, I work for a downtown non-profit, and I am enjoying a more "fluid" stage of my life. This is a good thing. I do not charge for this service, since I would be staying at your place, which is compensation enough. I can provide extensive local references. If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact me at tcbuell@gmail.com or by calling/texting 412-720-2218. Thank you, Tom
