About this assignment

A cat lover first and foremost! My 5 indoor cats are very loving and playful. (Well, the old girl is a bit of a hissy missy, to be honest, but never scratchy).
Someone who loves gardens would be great as well!
Someone who is reliable and respectful of other people's property, too, of course.
No smoking in the house, please.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Feeding, fussing and loving the 5 cats, they range in age from 2 to 13 years.
The cats are raw fed using food kept in the freezer which needs to be defrosted every night for the following day.
Also, in summer, watering the garden every few days and keeping an eye on the pond (topping it up when necessary from the waterbutt that then needs topping up for the next time).
Keeping us informed regularly via email or Messenger/ WhatsApp

What are the good features of the property and location

It's a lovely large, old Victorian house with a huge, gorgeous garden. Great for sitting in on a summers evening.
In the house we have an extensive library (books and music) and loads of dvds and blurays, plus a smart TV with Netflix, Now, Apple TV, Prime and Disney Plus and Superfast WiFi.
There's a Swimming pool with an outdoor Lido and a small gym 6 doors down with a bus stop right outside. We can also provide a parking permit.
We're 10 minutes by bus or car from the City Centre and a 20 minute walk to Prince's Avenue, a busy local independent bar and restaurant area.
Hull (City of Culture 2017) is a vibrant multi cultural City with free museums, lots of restaurants, theatres and live music venues.
An hour by train from York and Leeds, and by bus to the fabulous East Coast and North York Moors.
CATS!!!

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

We're looking for somebody who would be able to feed the cats twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening and preferably who was in most evenings to keep them company.
The cats cannot be let out, so sometimes it's a case of manoeuvring in and out carefully!
The house is very old, with all the associated issues!

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.

Lovely Sit with 5 Cats

I enjoyed the sit at Kittee's house. She prepared a manual with a lot of information, which was useful in the beginning when settling into the daily routine with the cats. I'd never looked after 5 cats before. But I didn't need to worry. They are all super sweet, affectionate, and friendly: each with their own personality. We enjoyed lots of cuddles and purring. Kittee and Gene invited me to anything in the kitchen which made me feel welcome, cooked me a delicious meal when they got back, and even brought me some sweet treats from their trip! I loved the time with the cats, the hospitality, and had a nice time in Hull!
