30 days and two cats on the Silver Coast of Portugal

About this assignment

Looking for a non-smoker to feed and water our cats, Molly and Gooch, while we’re away. They are 100% indoor cats. We live in an apartment so there’s no maintenance beyond day-to-day tidiness.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Doling out food and treats to the cats, keeping their water fountain full, and daily cleaning of (2) litter boxes. Cuddles and play time as requested.

What are the good features of the property and location

We are ideally located in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal, an hour north of Lisbon. Very easy to get to by bus or car. Within walking distance of everything. Grocery stores, bus station, restaurants, fruit market, the park, the veterinarian. The apartment is a large, sunny, and comfortable space, on the fourth floor of a building with an elevator.

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

This should be an easy sit. Our cats feed on demand so there is no feeding schedule to maintain. However, they are pretty strict about their 8pm treat time.

We don’t mind if our sitter takes a day trip, or an overnight excursion. We only ask that you arrange with one of our contacts to visit the cats if you’ll be gone more than 24 hours.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
