About this assignment
We are looking for a responsible couple or single person who will respect our home and has experience taking care of cats.
We like to have daily communication with photos/little updates.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Frank is pretty independent, although he is social enough to usually be hanging out in the same room as you.
He enjoys spending time outside, but he tends to stay on the property. In the colder months, he is outside less as he gets older, but he still likes to do his daily rounds.
It's essential that he makes it in the house every night.
There is a litterbox that should be scooped every few days.
He gets fed 4x a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, before bed). We have an automatic feeder that can be set for 2 meals, so you can be out of the house for the whole day without a problem.
What are the good features of the property and location
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 wing (all attached).
You will be staying in the guest wing but are welcome to spend as much time as you want in our main living room/kitchen, hanging out with Frankie.
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.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
Staying overnight, every night is a requirement.
The weather in November will be grey and chilly.
Renting a car will be required.
We will have guests staying with us until the morning of November 14, so it would be best if you arrived in the early afternoon. We will be making our way to the airport around 4pm.
We will arrive back home late on November 20. You can leave anytime that day, or stay the extra night and leave on the 21.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Testimonials
Awesome cat in the lovely Danish countryside
Michelle and Mattias were super welcoming and kind. They helped us with arranging our travel, and gave great recommendations and instructions for the local area, the house and looking after Frankie. Frankie was the main highlight, he really is an awesome cat, super friendly and cool, great at communicating what he needs, and fun to hang out with, while also being low maintenance. The house is lovely, with a separate but attached guest house, and we were made to feel very welcome (the sauna is a bonus!). And the local area is nice too. We went for runs in the forest, walks by the river, and really enjoyed getting to know Aarhus.

Michelle, Mathias and Frank are dream hosts!
We had an exceptionally smooth sit taking care of Frankie. Michelle and Mathias are thorough communicators and thoughtful hosts; we kept in touch with them leading up to and throughout the sit. They also provided us with detailed, clear instructions for Frankie's (easy-to-manage) care before we arrived, which is always a great help. Frank totally stole our hearts, he is a delightful mix of sweet, social and independent – his presence (and little cat kisses) really brought a lot of joy into our lives during our stay. Both the guest house and the main house were comfortable, clean and calming (with a wonderful bed, thank you for that!!). Michelle and Mathias did everything to prepare for our visit, coordinate handoffs, and made sure to check in to see if we needed anything while they were away. The local area is lovely and quiet, we enjoyed getting to visit the nearby villages and walking lots of pretty trails in the late fall :) we would highly recommend this sit to any cat and country lover, it's a great opportunity!

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
