About
Hi there!
We are looking for a house sitter who is clean, tidy, responsible and loves animals.
We have two cats that will need to be looked after while we are away as well as some plants.
About the Cats (both female were fosters):
Lacey – a playful Ragdoll who loves attention and will like to sit on your lap and sleep by your feet (will tolerate hugs but prefers to sit close to you. Has long hair so may need some grooming and occasionally does have a hairball. She loves to be around people and will likely start greeting you at the door once she gets to know you.
Loki – a quiet and cuddly but a little bit more cautious cat. She loves hiding and playing with shadows. Loves running water and is more of a snuggler than Lacey when she gets to know you! She is very good at hiding (check the closets!) and will take a bit longer to warm up to new people.
Both cats are indoor-only, however we do have a back deck area (that is enclosed) that they can venture out to. Please ensure back gate is locked before they go out. They easygoing, and have their own personalities. They need to have food left out for them, have their litter boxes cleaned daily, and love a bit of playtime or gentle company in the evenings. They may need to have their nails clipped if you feel they are getting sharp. Please do not let them scratch the couch - we have a cat scratch post nearby for that purpose. The cats do get along and will generally be very active at night and will play and sometimes get noisy.
Responsibilities:
- Feed cats
- Refresh water daily (located in bathroom)
- Scoop and clean litter boxes daily
- Bring in mail and/or packages
- Water indoor/outdoor plants. There are plants located at the front and back deck and a hose nearby
- Keep the house tidy and clean
About the house
A bright and comfortable 2-bedroom home with a small garden, WiFi, and a fully equipped kitchen. The house was recently renovated to add a second storey. There are 3 bathrooms, and 4.5 bedrooms.
Quiet neighborhood, near cafes and walking trails and the Echo point marina and beach
Non-smokers only, please. No other visitors.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants a peaceful stay with minimal responsibilities beyond loving care for two sweet cats and keeping the home safe and tidy.
