Cindy (puss) doesn’t like other animals, she is 5 years old and we rescued her, she was kept in a crate at the rescuer place as she didn’t like the cats there. We have cat proofed the garden as much as possible so that she doesn’t go out. She will be wary

About this assignment
Caring for an older cat and garden (watering of plants), someone comfortable with living on the water and having a cat sleep with them at night.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Feeding my cat, giving her daily medication in her food, litter tray cleaning, watering the plants, and of course being kind and lovely to both.
What are the good features of the property and location
Spacious house boat in the harbour in Haarlem, Netherlands, surrounded by the sounds of nature, 15 minute bike ride to the centre of Haarlem, great outdoor space to sit and enjoy the sun, have a bbq, tend to the plants.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
Lily is old and has daily medication (very easy to give in food) but she can have toileting accidents. She is a loving cat. We live on a boat and if the weather is windy you will feel that as the boat will rock, everything is totally safe of course.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Testimonials
Amazing Stay in Haarlem!
I had an incredible time pet-sitting in Haarlem, where I stayed for three weeks in a house on the water. The experience was truly unique and authentic, and living in such a peaceful environment made it even more special. Lily, the cat, was so calm and affectionate, making my stay even more enjoyable. The homeowners went above and beyond to make sure I felt completely at home. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much!
