Paws and Relax: Your Perfect RTP Retreat for cat lovers!

About this assignment

I’m looking for a kind and responsible house sitter who is essentially a homebody—ideally a woman or a couple—since as Katniss gets older she is uncomfortable when away from human contact for too long (6+ hours). She’s a shy little girl with a bit of a history, so someone patient and experienced with cats, especially those who need a little extra understanding, would be perfect. If you’re a cat lover who knows how to read their signals and respect their space, you’ll get along great with her! I also appreciate someone who can keep my home tidy and give me regular updates on Katniss. She's a chill cat that is often found sleeping in a corner and always in the kitchen asking for food when she sees you get up.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

• Feeding Katniss wet food twice a day (breakfast and dinner) and offering dry food throughout the day as mini-meals.
• Observing Katniss’s behaviors if something seems off with her.
• Administering her asthma inhaler if needed, following the instructions provided (rarely ever needed now, but just in case.)
• Keeping her litter area and food + water bowls clean.
• Ensuring the house is left in the same condition as upon arrival, including used kitchen items and living spaces.

• Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and cooking essentials.

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

• Katniss requires a sitter who can provide calm and patient companionship and respect her boundaries. She needs someone attuned to her signals and capable of handling her when stressed out.
• The assignment is best suited for individuals who are cat lovers and comfortable in a quiet and clean environment without children or other pets.
• Katniss just doesn't require much other than some attention and food, but otherwise is a chill cat.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
