Sitter needed for 2 crazy cats in central Munich: 4 to 6 April

About this assignment

Sitters should be kind, caring, clean/tidy, COMMUNICATIVE, and love cats! Vegan would be a huge bonus, but at a minimum, I would hope that you could forego bringing any meat into my home.

The dates given are my own departure and expected arrival dates. I would prefer that you arrive at least one day before and, because my return could potentially be delayed, depart one day later.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

To feed my crazy (but lovable) boys 3x day (times are flexible, they should actually have food available pretty much around the clock), make sure their litter boxes (and the flat) are kept clean, keep them company and/or from beating each other up (occasionally their play-fights turn a little too serious ...), play with them as needed, send me regular updates and photos (too many is better than too few!) and (let me know what I can do to help you) enjoy your stay!

Please also water the plants and bring in / update me on any mail!

What are the good features of the property and location

There is a subway and suburban railway station less than 5 min. away on foot, along with several bus lines. The city center is a 10-minute ride away. The flat is in a courtyard off a quiet residential street, so it's quite peaceful (when young kids aren't out on the playground just off the balcony). You can sometimes see beautiful sunsets from the balcony. There's a large, beautiful park about 15-20 minutes' walk away, and the Isar river is about a 30-minute walk in the other direction. There are many nice restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood, and a big grocery store and other shops/pharmacies/banks just across the big street on the other side of the building complex. Very conveniently located for getting around the city and finding your everyday needs. Comfortable for 2 people. Fast Internet, you're welcome to connect your laptop to my larger monitor. Laundry in building (basement). Tiny kitchen (and refrigerator), but there is a dishwasher! No television. Double bed is pretty low to the ground, so probably not suitable for anyone with knee issues!

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

My younger boy (Zeytin, Turkish former street cat, black, 6.5) is a perpetual kitten and always wants to play.

The elder child (Zen, Turkish former street cat, ginger, 7.5) is fit as a fiddle and crazy as a loon ... he'll knock down/over anything that isn't nailed down (guard your beverages closely!!) and get into anything he wants come h*ll or high water, and you won't be able to be mad at him because he's so darned cute and cuddly (when he wants to be, which is actually pretty often). He also actually sleeps quite a lot, and occasionally gets really worked up about his play with Zeytin :( If/when that happens, you should step in and distract him and create an escape route for Zeytin or just keep them apart for a short time until the mood passes. It doesn't usually take more than a minute or two, and really doesn't happen that often.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
