Housesit July and August 2025 LA MADELEINE 59110 France

About this assignment

A cat lover! Someone who will give them the full TLC they need while I am away! They are not difficult and lead their life, but a constant presence in the house gives them the stability and comfort they need.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

I have 3 cats - the one in the picture is the princess of the house, Nejma, then there is "Mr Blue" and finally Hammy. They will need feeding constantly and require cuddles. You will also need to know how to be a good door keeper - because of course they want to come in and go out all the time ;)

What are the good features of the property and location

My house is terraced house and is a typical red-brick, narrow building for the north of France. There is a little garden at the back and this is my green haven. The street itself is averagely busy so the cats are not allowed out there and only in the garden.
I am ideally placed, just 25 minutes walk from Lille town centre. The two train stations are not far either. So access is easy for anyone arriving by train or bus.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

The stairs are a challenge in this house, so anyone who hates or can't do stairs - be warned!
Three cats are quite a challenge too. They get up early and need feeding and watering otherwise they come and miaouw you death! Also keeping the hair coverage of clothes and furniture to a minimum is not always fun.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
