Frank is a very sweet and laid back cat. Everyone loves him :)
Looking for a responsible couple or single person.
Must be animal lovers and respectful of our home.
Experience in taking care of cats is essential.
Must stay over night, every night.
If you were only able to stay for 10 days or 2 weeks, we could have a friend cover the remainder of the sitting-period (you would have to "reset/clean" the house for their arrival).
This job will have very few responsibilities. Frank is pretty independent, although he is social enough to usually be hanging out in the same room.
He is an outdoor cat, but he is usually satisfied with just staying on the property. In the colder months, he is outside less and less as he gets older. But he still likes to do his daily rounds.
It should be made sure that he makes it in the house every night. There is a litterbox that must be scooped every 2 days. He gets fed smaller portions, a few times a day.
We live in the middle of Favrskov kommune in Jutland, Denmark.
It is a large countryside property within 30 minutes of Aarhus, Randers, Viborg and Silkeborg.
Having a car is essential, living out in the countryside. The closest grocery store is 8km away.
We have two houses on the property. We live in the main house with Frankie, and we have a guest house.
You will be staying in the guest house, but are welcome to spend as much time as you want in our main living room/kitchen, hanging out with Frank.
We have a beautiful forest down the street, perfect for a nature walk.
High-speed internet, laundry facilities, and a Chromecast are available to you.
Staying overnight, every night is a requirement.
The weather in November is usually grey and chilly...around 10°c.
Our homes are heated with wood pellets, so you will have to refill the reservoir every 2-3 days.
We like to receive lots of little updates and pictures of Frankie, as we will be missing him :)
No, sorry.
Testimonials
The Perfect House Sit
My partner and I are very grateful that we were able to house sit and pet sit for Michelle and Mathias. Not only did they make us feel welcome and have one of the friendliest cats I have ever met, but they are a genuine couple who made us feel completely at home. Communication was easy, and they were available if we had questions at any time. Michelle leaves detailed instructions in case of any scenario which made us feel very confident in case anything were to arise. They have clearly put a great deal of time and effort into their home and we wish them the best on their new adventure.

We had a great time on Sao Miguel. Michelle and Mathias are very easy going, and made us feel very welcome. They came to pick us up at the airport, they drove us to the supermarket etc. Their house is really comfortable, the surroundings beautiful for walking, the beach nearby. Peaceful village. Their cat Frank is lovely, sleeping close to us, enjoying his food and your company, although he likes his privacy too :) Only positive feelings, looking back. Corrie and Rob

House/Catsit in Beautiful Ribeira Cha, Azores for Michelle Barbeau
All I can say is Wow, wow, wow!!! What an awesome House/Catsit in a stunning location, for an awesome couple and a delightful cat, Frank!!! I would repeat any day, not to be missed! For a while I have been wanting to visit the beautiful Azores Islands and I was lucky enough to be chosen by Michelle & Mathias, wow so Lucky! They are exceptional hosts, who made me feel at home immediately. They were kind enough to also stock the fridge for the first few days of my stay as I didn't have a car. Mathias fetched me in Ponta Delgado, plus also welcomed my daughter to join me for part of my stay and made us both feel exceptionally welcome, leaving clear instructions and staying in constant contact. I would repeat in a heartbeat!!! Their home is in a beautiful location, Ribeira Cha, overlooking the Ocean and the Mountains, stunning nature, the friendliest people, delicious food and experiences never to be forgotten! All I can say is a HUGE Thank You, to you both, and not forgetting the friendliest and sweetest Cat, Frank!

A superb experience
My parner and I stayed in Michelle's and Mathias house in Sao Miguel for 8 days, and utterlly enjoyed the experience. Their cat Frank is one of the sweetest, lovliest, easy-going creatures I've ever met. He was a lovely company during our working hours, as much as in the times of relax. He loves his food and a little play every now and then. In exchange for those, he kindly accepted us as temporary residents and companions, and day by day got closer and closer to us. The house itself is beautifully located and decorated. It was a pleasure to stay in there, as much as explore the amazing outdoors of the island. We were treated with great hospitality, and offered just about everything we required for the time of our stay, Mathias even stocked the fridge and pantry for us for our first days withouth a car! The welcome and the communication were great, and so was the place and its proud owner, Frank :)

Wonderful folks to house sit for
It was with great pleasure to house sit for Michelle and Mathias. They left us with a wealth of information about the house and Frank, their wonderful cat. The house was clean, they made sure we had sufficient sheets, pillows and towels, they even left us some money for the clothes washing. The location is great with short walks to fantastic parks by the river and a short stroll to downtown. The cat (Frank) is super friendly and loved to cuddle on the sofa with us. He let us know when he was hungary and it was feeding time. He also would greet us and gave us kisses when we returned from our daily walks. We would not hesitate to house sit again for these wonderful folks. Gary and Therese
