We are looking for someone who is neat and tidy, responsible, and is happy to look after one small cat, and water a handful of plants. Ideally we are looking for someone who has experience with pet-sitting, and is familiar with South America.
To feed, water, (and play with) the cat twice a day. To water the plants. To keep the apartment clean and neat. And hopefully keep us updated with some pictures!
We have a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment on the 19th floor of a secure apartment building with 24/7 security guards. The apartment is fully furnished, with WiFi and a small TV. The neighborhood is safe, and shopping/restaurants/night life are all within walking distance, and cheap taxis are readily available for trips further afield. We have a small balcony that faces sunset, as well as a full kitchen, washing machine, and hot water showers. Our apartment also features access to a small gym, a swimming pool, a soccer field/basketball court, and a sauna.
There is very little English spoken in the area--it is best to have some basic Spanish skills. Duolingo is a great free app to download if you want to practice a bit ahead of time :)

Great stay
I had the best time in Thailand looking after EJ’s cat and fish. EJ introduced me to his community and I made friends in the area, they took me to waterfalls, dinners and beaches. This really helped me a lot during my stay. EJ made sure I would be taken care of and I would have help if needed. He left me his motorbike to use which was also a very nice gesture. EJ is clearly a very helpful and caring person. The fish did not require much and the cat, Fitz, is super friendly and not shy away to jump on the sofa with you to watch TV in the evenings. He really likes human interaction. Very easy cat to take care of! And super cute, too. Overall I would rate my first sitting assignment 6/5! I really hope we cross roads in the future :) thank you EJ!

Fitz is soo loveable! Great experience
My stay at EJ's place was great, a safe and spacious private compound, where I could go for runs safely, enjoy a nearby pool (for a small fee), and relax at his home with his fur baby Fitz who was sooo loving & cuddly :D The other quieter pet, haha, Rivendell (the fish) was no problem to take care of, just daily feeding & saying Hi to him & having a little chat each day. (I believe talking with animals is healthy!) EJ provided all the details prior to his departure, was very helpful in answering any questions I had, and was super thoughtful & kind in small gestures of gratitude which are noted & very much appreciated :) This stay went by too quickly! Nakhon si Thammarat is a very local Thai city, I really enjoyed getting to know this area of Thailand, thank you Fitz & Rivendell & EJ & Scott :)
