About this assignment
Hi all, thanks for looking. We have a 1 bedroom flat in Islington with a private garden. We’ve had Nyx and Paco for 4 year now. Nyx is 5 and Paco is 4. They’re both loveable fun cats. We adopted both from an animal shelter. Nyx is pretty relaxed and likes to go outside a decent amount. Paco is still full of energy.
Django is the newest addition to the family. He’s 1 year 6 months. Full of energy, friendly with all dogs and most people.
We take him to clissold park close by twice a day for exercise and play time with other dogs.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Take care of Django, Nyx and Paco by feeding them, they like to play a bit so that would be nice too. Also water the garden, that's basically it :)
What are the good features of the property and location
We live in a nice neighbourhood with friendly neighbours, good location, garden, victorian building. We are also a 10 minute bike or bus ride to Angel. Clissold park is a 10 minute walk away also.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
Nothing really that we can think of, Paco is just full of energy so can be a little bit of a handful as he likes to play with Nyx. Django is good off his lead in the park but doesn’t know streets yet so needs to be on his lead at all times.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Great Islington Housesit!
My wife and I recently did a 5-week house sit for Nuaym & Erin in Islington, London. We would not hesitate to do it again if the opportunity arose. It was a pleasure to look after the 3 pets. Django, the doggie was an absolute sweetheart, and we will miss him. Loads of energy and wanting to play, he had this knack of trying to grab the largest stick he could find and clumsily trying to bring it back home. Walking and playing ball with Django was easy as there are numerous green spaces nearby. He is a happy dog that gets along with everyone. Plus, he loves to cuddle and watch dog agility on the telly. There are two lovely cats to take care of as well. Paco and Nyx, two different personalities but both adorable. Quite often one or both of them would join us on the nightly walk with Django. Paco has a quite a dry sense of humour while Nyx is stealthy and loving. Along with the cats there are quite a few friendly urban foxes around. The curious foxes would follow us so often we had Django, 2 cats and a fox on our nightly walks. It was hilarious. Nuaym gave us good instructions; it never felt like a chore and he and Erin were easy to communicate with. Our only regret was not being able to spend more time with Nuaym and Erin as they are so delightful. The home itself was warm and cosy. We enjoyed cooking at home and watching movies on the projector streamed through our laptops. The location was great! Lots of great bakeries, wine bars, small grocery stores and cool little restaurants to explore, some nice pubs too. Everything was within walking distance. We frequently used the local buses and the nearby train line to take trips into other parts of London to explore. Getting around was easy and Islington itself offered plenty of things to keep you occupied. All in all, a great housesit in London. We would jump at the chance of sitting for Nuaym and Erin again and if you have the opportunity, you should too!
