Peaceful house with cat Rafiki and garden in 'Capital of Children', Billund, Denmark

About this assignment

We are looking for easy-going and friendly singles, couples or families to sit our house and cat Rafiki once in a while. Good communication is important to us.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

We'd like your help to care for our lovely cat Rafiki and the house and garden while we are away.

Rafiki needs food, water and a good amount of play and cuddle time.
In the house and garden we need your help to water indoor and outdoor plants and perhaps mow the lawn (depending on length of your stay).

What are the good features of the property and location

We live in a peaceful, minimalist home with beautiful green garden (in summer) in the middle of Billund. The house is central and with short walking distances to shopping and main attractions in Billund. Even the airport is just a 50 min. walk or short bus drive away. However, you won't feel like you are right in the city center. The house is located on a quiet dead end street and bordering a creek and green walking path. In the garden we have a fire pit, trampoline, swings and slide and DIY tiny house that is used as an office at the moment. The porch is covered and perfect for enjoying meals outside, reading or exercising with view of the garden.
Billund is a smaller Danish town, but with lots of attractions near by. It's paradise for families with kids since Legoland, Lego House and Lalandia all offer lots of fun close by. If you have a car, it's also easy to visit sights in the area for the day. Our house is child-friendly with lots of toys as well, since we have a 6-year old daughter.

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

We will be travellling for 3 weeks this summer (with a short pitstop at home for a couple of days after one week). We prefer to find someone, who is able to stay the whole 3 weeks and doesn't mind having us around for a couple of days. :-) We will just be home to wash clothes, reorganize the car and do a bit of work, but we have a seperate tiny house that we can sleep in those days, so that you can stay put in the bedrooms and main house. We would share the kitchen, bathroom and garden.
And of course you need to feel comfortable with our cat Rafiki. :-) He is sweet, but also young and very playful.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
