Switzerland; 3 weeks with two adorable cats, close to the mountains and beautiful Geneva

About this assignment

I'm looking for a caring and respectful house sitter who loves cats. It's important to me that you play with them and spend time to hang out with them and cuddle them.

I'm looking for a sitter for a period of about three weeks so I can go on a long hike in May and/or June. Start and end dates are flexible for us to agree on together.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

You will be responsible for the well-being of the cats. They are apartment cats who need attention and stimulation, and of course clean water, food and a clean house.

What are the good features of the property and location

The apartment has a large living room and kitchen equipped with a dish washer, oven, large fridge and freezer, and microwave. There is one bedroom with a two-person bed, access to the large balcony, equipped with a hammock and chair. The bathroom has a bathtub and washing machine and the toilet is in a separate room.

The apartment is on the second floor in a quiet apartment building in a small residential town at a twenty-minute distance from Geneva and a ten-minute distance from the airport. It has big windows with an open view on the church and city hall. It is at a walking distance form the supermarket, nice bakery, post office and bus stop. The town has a view on the Mont Blanc and the Jura mountain range.

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

The most comfortable way to get around in the area is by car, motorcycle or bicycle. There are buses connecting to the nearby towns as well as to the airport and the city of Geneva, both of which also have train stations. Getting around by bus will however take some more time.

It is easy to take care of the cats. There is an automatic feeder and a water fountain, and they are toilet trained so there is no litter box. However, one of the cats can sometimes decide to go on the floor tiles next to the toilet pot, depending on his confidence that day. This is easy to clean up, and it is also possible to avoid if you are sensitive to the fact that he needs to go and he needs you to come with for some mental support. Alternatively, you can set up a litter box for the duration of your stay, this will be no problem at all.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
