Description
My name is Jake, I'm a journalist who will be completing a Nieman Fellowship in Cambridge from mid August to end of May. I'm looking for a place to live during that time, ideally something furnished within walking distance to Harvard Sq (biking distance also OK). Would prefer my own place, but open to living with another person under the right circumstances. I'm tidy and sociable and typically not home very much. Also very happy to help with tasks around the house, watching pets, etc. Also: I will be leaving a large one bedroom apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Currently seeking a subleter, but if anyone in Cambridge is interested in swapping apartments during this time, that could save us all a step. Thanks!

Tenant Budget and Terms

I am fine with utilities included or not included
I am fine with or without a cleaning service
Considerations
I would like to bring my pet if it is okay
I prefer smoking not allowed in the home
I would like a car if possible
Comments: I have a very well behaved cat that I would like to bring with me. If I were to find a perfect place that was a hard no on pets, I could potentially leave the cat with family. But would prefer to bring him. He doesn't scratch or anything
House Sitting
I am willing to housesit
Yes, I can help with pets
Lot of experience as a dog walker/cat sitter
Yes, I can help with mail and deliveries
Yes, I can help with plants or garden
Comments: I'm budget conscious, so if there's anything at all I could do to help out around the place in exchange for lower rent, would be very into that
