2 cats in Essex, England

About this assignment

We would like someone to look after our house and pets while we are away as our cats will get lonely! We would prefer a non-smoker. Our dates are slightly flexible,

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Look after our house and pets! The cats want lots of love. There won't be much to do in the garden during the winter. We'd like the house to be kept warm, clean and tidy, the house plants watered and the rubbish put out once a week.

What are the good features of the property and location

Ours is a detached house in a quiet close with lovely neighbours. There's plenty of space to park a car and we may be able to arrange for the use of a car during the sit. Having only recently moved in, we've had the kitchen and laundry replaced together with new windows and doors so the house is warm and toasty. The redecoration may still be a work in progress. There's a spare bedroom with a double bed and wardrobes for your use. We live in a a small town with shops, supermarket, gyms, pubs and lovely parks and are close to the countryside. We live a 15 minute walk away from the main railway line to London (40 minutes) and the coast (30 minutes). We have good wifi. There's large towns nearby with a bigger range of shops and leisure activities. The town has a great community spirit and has just won a regional "in bloom" award.

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

You will have to put up with the cats trying to sleep with you on the bed, or shut them out! Ours is a quiet location.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
