Looking to hire a cat sitter for drop-in visits (once per day, no need to come on Thanksgiving day) for my two cats between Nov 24 and Dec 1st. We're in Oak Creek apartments, and just need someone to check in on them and give them some love and attention, their food and litter box are automatic. Offering $20/visit. Let me know if you're interested!

Hi,

I’m currently looking for a place for my parents to stay during their visit this winter.

The move-in and move-out dates are flexible between December 20 and January 18. It doesn’t need to cover the entire period.

Ideally, they would have access to a fully furnished unit, and we prefer a location in Palo Alto or nearby cities close to campus.

Please send me the location, rent, and available dates, preferably with some photos.

Thank you!

Ideally 12/1-12/18, can also do 11/18-12/18 to make it a full month if need be. I'm clean, quiet, and respectful. My boyfriend might come and stay with me 1-2 nights a week. I prefer newer constructions over older/renovated homes. Ideally in Palo Alto / within 15 min. drive from Stanford. I'm ok with houseshare with F roommates, a studio / 1bd, an in-law suite / cottage, or a house. My budget is flexible. Fully furnished preferred. I'm a Stanford PhD student that lives pretty far off campus and looking to be nearby for a couple weeks for research.

Feel free to text me 425-894-0017 with photos / details if you have a suitable place you're looking to sublet / rent out for a month.

Undergraduate male student looking for short-term housing over winter break (Dec 13 – Jan 3). Preferably on or near Stanford campus.
