Summer in Shakespeare's hometown

About this assignment

We're looking for a responsible individual or a couple (or even a small family ) with experience in looking after a cat, a house, the plants and a small garden. Someone who would treat our home well while we're away.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

We have a small, very low maintenance cat who would need to be fed twice a day. She's a bit shy but once she gets to know you she'll come for the occasional cuddle. The litter trays will obviously need to be cleaned and changed regularly.
Depending on the weather the plants and the garden would need to be watered.

What are the good features of the property and location

It's a very quiet large house, with plenty of space. It has a good conservatory (our favourite room) and a small garden that gets the sun in the afternoon.
It's in the outskirt of lively Stratford Upon Avon, Shakespeare's hometown. There's always plenty going on, market days, theatre, pubs, cafe' and restaurants. The centre of town is a 30 minutes walk away; there's also a bus into town and taxis are very cheap.

There's a lovely long walk along the canal and plenty of nature to enjoy.

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

The house is on three levels, and the bedrooms are on the first floor (or if you're from the US that would be the second floor) so it wouldn't be suitable for someone with scarce mobility.
It's on the outskirts of town so that would need to be considered. We can leave a scooter, but as I wrote above, there's a bus into town, and taxis are cheap.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
