About this assignment

I’m looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and cat-loving individual to stay in my home for several months while I’m away. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who enjoys a maintenance free, comfortable living space—with the added bonus of being in one of Florida’s most desirable coastal areas. Both cats warm up to women

Clean and apply fresh Cat Water Fountain filters every 3 weeks
Clean litter boxes daily

Provide a calm, quiet environment
Spend time with the cats each day (at their pace)
Be patient as they warm up

Home Care
Keep the home clean and tidy
Bring in mail and packages
Water plants at front of the house and back porch

General Expectations
Maintain a peaceful, low-noise environment (important for the cats)
Communicate every few days with updates and photos
Respect the home and belongings

Overnight Routine
Be comfortable with the cats sleeping on the bed in the primary bedroom

What are the good features of the property and location

My home is a fully renovated, maintenance-free 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence located in a beautiful gated 55+ community in the Sarasota/Bradenton area of Florida. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and well-maintained, offering a relaxed and comfortable environment.

As a sitter, you’ll have access to community amenities including a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, and more. There are also walking paths throughout the community, perfect for enjoying daily walks in a peaceful setting.

The location is a major highlight—you’ll be just a short drive from some of the Gulf Coast’s most beautiful beaches, along with excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

The home itself is clean, updated, and easy to care for, making it ideal for a longer-term stay. It includes Wi-Fi, internet and many streaming options, such as HBO, Apple, Paramount and more...

Please note that a car is not provided, and public transportation is limited in the area, so having your own reliable transportation is necessary.

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

Things to Consider Before Applying

To ensure this is a great fit for both of us, please consider the following:

Comfort with shy cats: Both cats are timid and sensitive to noise. They require patience and a calm, gentle approach, especially in the beginning.
Preference for a quiet environment: This is not a good fit for someone who plans to host guests frequently or have a busy, social household.
Sleeping arrangement: The cats are used to sleeping on the bed in the primary bedroom, so you’ll need to be comfortable with that routine.
Length of commitment: I’m looking for someone who can commit to the full duration of the stay.
Transportation: A personal vehicle is necessary, as public transportation is limited and a car is not provided.
Community setting: The home is located in a gated 55+ community, so the environment is peaceful and geared toward a quieter lifestyle.
Responsibility & communication: Regular updates and respectful care of the home are important.

If this sounds like a good match for your lifestyle and experience, I’d love to hear from you.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
