Calm, Mature Solo Sitter Wanted in Worthing for 20-Year-Old Boy Cat !

About this assignment

Hello! We are looking for a kind, calm, mature individual (without pets of their own) to stay in our comfortable home in Worthing while we are away from [Fri 27 Nov 2026] to [Sun 20 Dec 2026]. We would love to hear from a mature, solo sitter who enjoys a slow-paced stay, doesn't mind a little bit of gentle senior-cat clean-up, and is happy to keep our old boy company in the evenings.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Our much-loved cat is 20 years old and a true gentleman. Despite his age, he is in good spirits, takes no medication, and has just had a full vet check-up—including a vet-strength flea treatment that covers him right through until January. His needs are very simple and gentle. He sleeps for most of the day and enjoys a quiet, unhurried environment. When he is in the mood, he absolutely loves a good cuddle and gentle company. Alongside keeping our boy cat company, we would just ask that you water our outdoor hanging baskets and potted plants, plus our indoor plants only when they look like they need it. There are also two window boxes upstairs. There is a watering hose and watering cans out back.

What are the good features of the property and location

Worthing is a lovely seaside town with easy access to the beach, shops, public transport, and coastal walks, making it a peaceful base for a quiet getaway. Public transport, 3 supermarkets, eateries, pubs and seafront all very nearby and walkable. Brighton is a short bus/train ride away. We have a small laid to brick back garden with gate access to pathway and side road. Please note that there is no onsite parking at the property, ideal if you travel by train/bus, or happy to use nearby street parking.

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

Like many 20-year-old cats, he can occasionally be a little forgetful about where his litter tray is or miss the edge. We will leave everything easily accessible (including puppy pads and cleaning supplies) so any little accidents are quick and easy to tidy up. He is no longer allowed outside at night, so we keep the cat flap locked—both to keep him safe indoors and to stop the neighbours' friendly cats from wandering in for a visit! If this sounds like a good fit for you, please send us a message—we would love to arrange a quick chat or video call to introduce ourselves and our boy cat! Thank you for reading !

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
