Late Dec-Early Jan Sitter Wanted in Philly

About this assignment

We're looking for someone who loves cats, enjoys exploring/adventuring, and someone who is willing to show our place the same amount of love that we do!

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

We have two cats (Luna and Vivi). Luna is the grey cat, and Vivi is the black cat. Vivi doesn't have any special needs, but is very energetic and loves to play. Luna on the other hand loves cuddling, but she has been experiencing some overgrooming issues for some time. We've put her on a new vet diet and are waiting to see how that goes. With that being said, both cats love human interaction and love cuddling. We ask that our house sitter play with Vivi at least once per day for 10-15 minutes (we have plenty of toys), as well as basic chores like scooping the litter twice a day (once is fine if you're out for a prolonged period of time), and ensure that their water and food are topped off each day.

What are the good features of the property and location

We live in an amazing location. We are about 2-3 blocks away from Main Street in Manayunk, which is a very cool and hip neighborhood in Northwest Philadelphia. We live at the top of the hill so you get a great view of the Schuykill River and Main Street from our balcony. We live within a 5 minute walk from the nearest train station which takes you straight into downtown Philly, which is about a 20-minute ride. We live in a very quiet complex, but you're close enough to the action of Main Street if you prefer. We're very close to numerous hiking and bike trails.

Our place is magical (but I am biased). We love living here! It's a spacious two bedroom, two bath condo with an upstairs loft (which acts as our office and living room). Washer and dryer are in the unit, and our guest bathroom has a working jacuzzi tub.

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

Please ensure that you will stay for the entire duration as specified. You do not need your own mode of transportation because we live so close to the train station, but we have free on-site parking if you are bringing a car. We also request that no guests be brought to our place. We are fine with house sitters who would like to bring their significant other along, just please no other guests. We also request that our house sitter make no multi-day trips during their stay - the longest we're willing to have the cats alone is less than 24 hours at a time.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
