Come cat sit our tabby in beautiful brownstone Brooklyn, NY

About this assignment

We are looking for a cat lover (1 person or a couple) who is reliable, communicative, and respectful of neighbors to stay take care of our senior tabby cat while we are away. Though he's not a lap cat, he's very social—even when he's snoozing he likes to be nearby and enjoy your company.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Our cat needs to be fed wet food and given one pill daily. He eats incrementally throughout day and night so an automatic feeder can assist with this, but it would need to be set up twice daily. He enjoys daily playtime and brushing, and needs to have his litter box scooped every other day. As we love this cat so much, we would expect updates with photos daily.

What are the good features of the property and location

Our apartment is on beautiful brownstone Brooklyn block minutes from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and several major subway lines. It is on a residential block but just steps from great restaurants, a grocery store, and other amenities. The living room and dining room are spacious and bright and overlook the street. We have 1 bedroom with a Queen sized bed facing the courtyard so it is quiet (the other bedroom is an office). We have Wifi, a projector, and laundry in the basement.

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

Accessibility: The apartment is located up two flights of stairs.

Light sleepers note: As many cats do, ours will attempt to wake you up to feed him a couple times in the night/early morning. The automatic feeder helps with this, and many of our friends who have stayed with him can sleep through it! I simply gave in and feed him a couple times in the night and fall back to sleep!

City living: Our apartment is remarkably quiet for being in NYC but we do live in a 20 unit building across the courtyard from another 20 unit building so sometimes you can hear a neighbor or other pet. It is very rarely ever a bother.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
