Short-term house sitting for condo with two cats in West Highlands, Denver!

About this assignment

Hi! I am looking for someone to keep my cats and plants company while I'm out of town. I have two sweet kitties named Bryce and Sequoia. Sequoia has diabetes and needs insulin injections twice daily at 7am and 7pm. They also will want someone to snuggle and hang out with while I'm away!

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

+ Sequoia needs insulin injections twice a day, at 7am and 7pm. She receives 2 units in the am and 2 units in the pm. Giving the injections is easy and Sequoia is very used to them - she barely looks up from her food when she gets them now. I can provide a demonstration or a video of Sequoia receiving her shot before the house sitting assignment starts if helpful.
+ Please feed the kitties wet food twice a day, also at 7am and 7pm when Sequoia receives her insulin. I'll provide details on what food each kitty should receive and how much.
+ Please send me a quick picture of the kitties twice a day after they receive their insulin :)
+ Provide the kitties with fresh water as needed
+ Attend to the litter boxes as needed. There are two traditional boxes and an automated box in the bathroom. I scoop the traditional boxes once a day.
+ Give the kitties some love!
+ Water the plants once a week, or more often if they are wilting (some are more dramatic than others)
+ Bring in any packages that arrive while I'm away.
+ Light cleaning to prevent the apartment turning into one giant litter box - kitty litter can get everywhere.

What are the good features of the property and location

+ Amazing location in West Highlands, walking distance to great restaurants, bars and breweries on 32 street and Tennyson street. I'll share a list of some of my favorites!
+ 25 minute drive from hikes in the foothills, and it's easy to get on the highway to make the most of the mountains. I'll also share some recommendations for nearby hikes or skiing :)
+ Easy access to downtown
+ The apartment itself is spacious and gets great natural light from two floor-to-ceiling windows
+ Balcony to enjoy nice weather!
I love living here, and would love for someone to enjoy it while I'm away

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

The most important consideration is being comfortable giving Sequoia her insulin injections, and being able to give these consistently at 7am and 7pm daily. Please also consider that I am out of town often, but not for long periods, so the sitting assignments will be more short term.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
