House and cat sitting in July; eastern North Carolina

About this assignment

We're looking for a non-smoking adult or couple, ideally with some experience cat sitting and/or house sitting, and available the month of July 2024. Our dates are flexible a little.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

The only responsibility is taking care of Bobbi Jo on a daily basis, and watering a few plants on a weekly basis. Bobbi Jo is a mature calico, indoor/outdoor, gentle and friendly but not outgoing. Her care involves twice-daily feedings, and cleaning the litter. We're looking for a live-in sitter, rather than someone who drops in to visit, because it's a longer period than she is used to.

What are the good features of the property and location

Our house is in Greenville, North Carolina, a college town of about 60,000. (Not Greenville, South Carolina.) It's very near the tip of Pamlico Sound. We're in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood about 90 minutes from the nearest Atlantic beaches, 90 minutes from Raleigh, North Carolina, and about an hour from the Smithfield outlet mall. The town has a major hospital and a lot of parks, a river about a mile away, and some nice but not extensive hiking/biking paths. The property is a 3-bedroom one-story house, well-kept, with a large shaded back yard, patio, hammock, and grill.

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

Besides the beach, there are some nice day trips to nearby scenic spots, such as New Bern (on the Neuse River) and Washington, NC (on Pamlico Sound).

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
