House + 2 diabetic cats near London UK (21 July - 8 August 2024)

About this assignment

I am looking for someone (no couples sorry) who has experience giving injections to cats who are diabetic and require supervision for few hours after the injection to ensure they do not go into hypoglycemia. I would also expect you to be responsible, reliable and to keep in touch regularly whilst I am away so I know how they are. You will have your own double size bedroom for the entire stay and use of all facilities/garden. The dates are fixed so won't be able to consider a shorter stay. Please note that guests/parties are not allowed whilst I am away.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Looking after my cats: feeding twice a day, ensuring they are well and generally making sure the property is also looked after during my absence. You will need to be at the property every night and can't take trips elsewhere in the country for longer than 12 hours. Cats require insulin every 12 hours. More details will be given to the chosen sitter.

What are the good features of the property and location

The house is located in the London Borough of Bexleyheath (zone 6 for public transport purpose)
Central London is only a 30/40 min train ride depending on which London terminal you are travelling to (Victoria, London Bridge, Cannon Street or Charing Cross). Greenwich is also very close by.

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

Prerequisites:
1. Provide sitting references, ideally a criminal record check if you have it (i.e. DBS) and a copy of your passport/ID prior to starting.
2. Provide evidence you have experience in giving injections to cats.
3. Need to be at least 25 years old.
4. Before confirming your sitting assignment, I will need to see evidence of your flight tickets (where applicable).

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
