About this assignment
Hi, I'm from the UK originally but teach here in Bangkok. Ocean and Turbo are super affectionate and friendly.
I'm heading home for the holidays and I'm looking for someone who can be around to feed and look after the cats. They do go.outside and get hurt occasionally so someone who is able to give some basic medical care would be preferred.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
Feeding 2 male cats (1.5 years old)
keeping an eye on the electric cat litter tray and emptying the bin every 4 or so days.
Refilling water bowls with dental treatment and regular water every few days.
Watering plants in the garden every day
Feeding a few fish in garden
A little cleaning in the areas the cats run around in
What are the good features of the property and location
Light and comfortable 2 bed house.
Lots of space.
Large table for dining or working
Treadmill
2 bathrooms both with hot water showers
15 min walk to Punnawithi BTS or 15 bhat on motorbike taxi
Quiet street
A great local food market and an amazing Thai restaurant close. 2 good sports bars but mainly small thai places nearby. It is about 15 mins on bts to more popular spots such as Asok.
TV and Netflix
Free WiFi
Aircon
Lock box on gate for keys with code
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
The cats do seem to get sick or hurt them selves fairly often. They were adopted as strays and weren't very healthy. They are super healthy right now but seem to get eye infections or cuts from outside every now and then. They are pretty good patients and I have basic medical supplies. The vet hospital is close and the staff know the cats well.
I live in a Thai house in a local community. Not in a condo on the main road. The house is wonderful, but things can go wrong with a house in tropical countries! The landlady is in Bangkok and any problems, she will be able to support and arrange.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Testimonials
I am so grateful I got the chance to stay in Leahs home and look after her cats and ever increasing fish. The location was a perfect mix of small local authenticity and bright lights, big city. While the pace of Bangkok is nonstop, Leah has created a home that is a relaxed and comfortable escape. Though various problems arose with the structural integrity of the house and access to water, they were manageable enough and are only natural given the country and six week stay. The cats are adorable and energetic and found themselves in some sticky situations, but conveniently the house has an english-speaking vet clinic at the end of the street. I enjoyed Bangkok thoroughly and look forward to when I can return!

Loved those cats!
Great sit with 2 adorable young cats in a lovely, spacious home. Beforehand, I was given detailed instructions and information about the housesit, and the area's amenities. Check-ins were easy with Whats App, and Leah was quick to respond. Location is good; shops, street vendors and public transport are all within a 5-20min walk. I miss those 2 cats so would love to come back in the future! MA-Mary Ann

Ocean & Turbo
This sit was an absolute pleasure. Ocean and Turbo are really great cats. They're really fun to be around and very well behaved. We were lucky to have had the opportunity to care for them at this time (Christmas '23 just over 1 year old) as they're in really great shape and very playful! The house is neat, tidy and quite spacious. The road is a cul d'sac so there's not a great deal of traffic and it's nice and peaceful. It's a short walk to the local shops and only a little further to the BTS. Lea was very organised and welcoming and all of the arrangements went very smoothly. I did a few odd jobs about the house, Gun did a fair bit of cleaning, the cats got new toys & turkey for Christmas and fortunately for us the fish had babies while we were there! So everything went well, everyone was happy and Lea wrote us a very lovely review! Would recommend!
