Cat lover(s) required to look after Treacle in Berlin

About this assignment

** If you read nothing else, READ THIS, please: **
(1) Nonsmokers only.
(2) I am Vegan, Treacle isn't. It's ok if you aren't either, but vegans and vegetarians are especially welcome. In any case, please leave NO trace of having anything other than vegan food in the flat.
** If you don't acknowledge this in your application, it's unlikely you'll be selected. **
(3) Treacle has access all areas of the flat 24x7 except the bathroom when you're using it and the balcony when it's cold. She often chooses to sleep on the bed. If she does so, feel honoured because it means she's accepted you.
** If you don't like pets sleeping on the bed, this isn't the sit for you. **

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Feed Treacle twice per day - minimum. Refresh water. Clean litter tray. Play with Treacle. Give treats. Brush her if she'll let you. Let her sleep on the bed if she wants to. Do not close doors (except the front door and balcony, of course).

I have house plants and plants on the balcony during the summer. These will need to be watered.

Keep lower bedroom window closed at all times. Same with bathroom window. Only open lower kitchen window on a slant. There are no cat nets on these windows.

If you're sitting for a while, I'll also leave a key to the letter box in the hallway of the building so that it doesn't overfill.

Keep flat as clean as possible including leaving a clean sink and removing any hair from the shower basin! Strip the bed at the end of your stay (and recover the bed with the blanket).

I am vegan. You don't have to be, but please leave no evidence of having not been vegan during your stay - including throwing out rubbish and clearing any nonvegan produce from the fridge and freezer.

What are the good features of the property and location

I live in a one-bedroom apartment with my cat, Treacle. The flat is around 50m2 with a balcony. There's a large double bed in the bedroom, ample space in the living room with dining table and seating area with large-screen TV. Shower in the bathroom. Washing machine in the small but functional kitchen.

There are supermarkets nearby and numerous takeaways + pharmacies etc. The flat is less than a 5-minute walk from the nearest underground station (U Pankstrasse) and a 10-minute walk from the nearest train station (S+U Gesundbrunnen) which has a direct connection to the airport on the FEX.
Alexanderplatz is only 15 minutes away. Easy connections to most lines and areas of the city and also regional trains.

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

Treacle is an older cat and needs your love and attention. She is ok to have periods with nobody about, though, but please spend as much time with her as you can.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
