About this assignment
Perfect for a couple or single person, with a car, who enjoys the countryside and beautiful nature, and historic towns. This house-sit would suit a cat lover with a quiet, calm temperament as one of the cats is nervous of strangers.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
I have two cats, Bibi and Rocca, both spayed females, who will need feeding twice a day. They have access to outside but also have litter/sand trays which need cleaning out daily. They have a cat-flap but prefer Butler Service if available! You will also need to be able to comfortably lift 15kg bags of pellets for the hot water boiler and water the plants inside and out (max 15 minutes a day). Mainly I hope you will enjoy the scenery and countryside of this beautiful area.
What are the good features of the property and location
Originally the village school, the house has been extensively modernised with a new kitchen, central heating, two modern bathrooms. It is warm in winter, cool in summer and well-insulated. The kitchen/dining leads directly onto a pretty balcony with stunning views and steps leading down to a pretty garden and shaded terrace, perfect for a sundowner! It is located in a tiny village (15 people) about 15 minutes from Ainsa, which is considered one of the prettiest villages in Spain. There are amazing places to visit, including the National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido within a one hour drive. It is a fabulous area for hiking, mountain or road biking and enjoying traditional Spanish meals. English speaking neighbours are on hand if needed.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
You will need to be comfortable in a small, quiet village (there is street lighting) and it is essential that you have transport. The ability to speak some Spanish is an advantage in this area, but you can manage without. You need to be able to lift 15kg bags of pellets for the boiler, The house has a number of steps to the front and back door, and stairs to the bedrooms. You will need to go to the basement, and there are low ceilings/doorways so some care is required. A quiet manner and patience with a timid cat are needed.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Amazing cat sitting
I had such a lovely cat sitting experience at Mary-Jane's and her husband Matt and their two cats Bibi and Rocca. Mary-Jane and Matt were extremely welcoming and helpful when I arrived showing and explaining everything. Matt prepared us delicious dinner and they really made me feel like home. Both cats are so sweet. Bibi is very chill - I don't think I ever walked pass her without giving her some head rubs and she patiently let me. Rocca is more shy, but she has the cutest face when she is observing from the distance. The house is beautiful and the views are amazing. Everything is very tidy and they have a very nice garden which I enjoyed watering. Bibi and I would just sit there on the terrace, relax and keep each other company. I highly recommend this place.

Lovely experience
I really enjoyed my stay. The cats are lovely. One, admittedly was a bit shy at first. The house was so lovely, clean and comfortable, everything a house-and-cat-sitter would enjoy. The walks were lovely; it is remote, but the neighbors are nice. Thank you!!
