Cuddly cat in an artsy house

About this assignment

You'll most enjoy this position and house if you like cats and have a somewhat bohemian spirit. Ideally you have a car (or like walking- many things are pretty near by, including bus stops and busses are free in Longmont).

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

It's pretty low key. Feed and water the cat, take in mail, take out trash, water the plants if they look droopy. We'd love it if you clean up after yourself. (We'll hand over the place to you well-scrubbed.)

The only foreseen nuisance will be shoveling the sidewalk if it snows. We have a good shovel and ice salt.

What are the good features of the property and location

Our place is artsy, colorful, and full of natural light. It's wheelchair accessible, has an exercise room (though that is downstairs, not wheelchair accessible), and VERY high-speed internet.

We're on a very quiet street, but walking distance to two parks, the bus hub, and the old town strip of restaurants and shops and such. We have a huge backyard and lots of outdoor seating.

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

Will you miss tv? We have great internet, and a Roku, but not cable.

Longmont is about 45 minutes north of Denver, so if what you're really looking for is a Denver base, you may be frustrated by the drive. We're quite convenient to Boulder, though. And Rocky Mountain National Park or Eldora Ski Resort are a very easy day trip.

Can I bring my own pets?

Yes
Restrictions: If it seems the pet will be a fit with Pippa, sure. We do NOT have an entirely fenced-in yard.
