About this assignment

We need a cat/house sitter for our two lovely cats whilst away on holiday.
We've used the service a few times before, so we know the ropes.
We just need someone who is reliable, fairly tidy, easy going and communicative.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Not very much, just to feed/water the cats once a day (we do it before bedtime, but this can be changed), and maybe do the litter tray, although they hardly ever use it in summer.
We have an autofeeder for all other feeds, so you are very free with your time.
No need to clean. etc, but please be reasonably tidy.

What are the good features of the property and location

It's a brand new house, a nice 4 bedroom detached with all modern conveniences in a lovely quiet, semi-rural location, with the countryside to the front and a southeast-facing garden to the rear.
There is some aircraft noise from Manchester airport, but we are not underneath the flight path so it is minor.
Handforth has plenty of amenities and you are surrounded by a huge number of options for shopping within a short drive, plus you have all the bars and restaurants of Wilmslow, Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme close by. A short 15 mins walk to the train station gives you access to Stockport and Manchester too, and nearby Quarry Bank Mill is a great place to visit. Walking and cycling are good options here too.

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

We just need someone available and reliable, a non-smoker, and would like a video call to show you the house, cats and get to know each other.
We can collect you and return you to a train station nearby if required.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.

Handforth House/Cat Sit

I had a lovely time in Cheshire house sitting for Richard and Lenka and their 2 cats - Harvey and Hugo. Their house is very well presented and within walking distance of local amenities including a railway station with connections to Manchester. There are numerous walks which take you to sites of historic interest and the beautiful countryside. Richard and Lenka were very welcoming and it was a pleasure to sit for them.
