Look what you can do in Mississippi!

About this assignment

You'd be surprised what there is to do in Mississippi! Keep reading to see what you could be doing this summer!
I am teacher who uses my summer vacation for travel. I have one loving, friendly cat who live indoors. I live in a historic southern antebellum town located on the Mississippi River. Check out the home and location section to what Natchez has to offer.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

The primary responsibility would be taking care of the cat - food, water, litterbox. Watering plants would be helpful as would mowing the lawn (with a riding mower) but not a necessity.

What are the good features of the property and location

My two-bedroom home is located in a quiet neighborhood in historic Natchez, Mississippi on the Mississippi River. The town is a history lover's dream. It's also great for a quiet, romantic getaway. Natchez is a small rural town but has lots to do locally and in the surrounding area. Great to sit back and relax or go sightseeing every day.

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

Must like cats! My cat is low maintenance, and she enjoys the company of adults. Natchez is a small town located in a rural area. Public transportation is limited, so a car would be beneficial.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
