Needs and animals

Many plants | 2 Cats

Context:
My partner and I have 2 four-year-old cats. They are both healthy and friendly, and they will need someone to take care of them while we are away traveling. So we are looking for someone to house-sit, ideally with a bit of experience with cats and used to live by themselves.

Responsibilities:
--------------------
- Feeding the cats at least twice a day (it takes ~10min per day).
- Scooping the litter boxes once a day (~2min).
- Watering the plants once every 1-3 days (~2min).
- Keeping the apartment clean and tidy.
- Not traveling far from NYC (since the cats need to be fed every day).
- Be respectful of the residence rules (noise level, no guest overnight, no smoking except in the front yard, etc.).

Chaleureusement accueillie par Varvara & Benjamin pour la garde de Cassis & Dich, j'ai passé un séjour merveilleux dans leur confortable appartement spacieux et fonctionnel. Tout était organisé dans les moindres détails et avec soin afin que je me sente comme chez moi durant leur absence. En amont de mon séjour, Benjamin m'avait transmis un home-book parfaitement rédigé comportant toutes les informations et instructions utiles pour la gestion des chats, de la maison et des plantes. Cassis & Dich sont attachantes, douces et très facile à vivre. Dich s'est sentie de suite en confiance et a rapidement joué et adopté mes genoux après le départ de ses maîtres, Cassis plus introvertie a pris le temps de l'observation, j'ai gagné sa confiance avec les brossages qu'elle affectionne tout particulièrement. L'appartement est idéalement situé à Brooklyn avec deux lignes de métro à proximité (J & M) reliant Manhattan. Merci du fond du coeur pour cette expérience Nomador outre Atlantique que je renouvellerai avec grand plaisir dans le futur. New-York was AMAZING !

I absolutely recommend staying with Dich and Cassis at Ben and Varbara’s place. First of all, Dich and Cassis are completely adorable. They love to cuddle and will happily make your evenings on the couch extra cozy and enjoyable. The apartment itself is warm and comfortable, with everything you might need for a pleasant stay. It’s also conveniently located close to the metro, making it easy to get around New York and access everything you need. Finally, Ben and Varvara were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful hosts. They made sure we knew where to go and what to do, which really helped us make the most of our time in New York and beyond the usuals. I would definitely stay here again!

Nous avons effectué un excellent séjour en compagnie de Dich et Cassis chez Varvara et Benjamin. Les premiers contacts ont été très fluides, et nous avons pu facilement mettre au point notre venue. Varvara et Benjamin sont très sympathiques et nous ont réservé un accueil très chaleureux, soucieux de nous aider à passer le meilleur séjour possible.  Les chattes sont très douces de caractères un peu différents, et après un petit temps d'adaptation, très calines. Dich a été assez vite rassurée de notre présence. Cassis a mis un peu plus de temps à quitter sa tour de guet, mais elle s'est montrée tout aussi affectueuse.  Les indications laissées par Benjamin et Varvara étaient très claires, et le homebook très bien fait.  L'appartement est très agréable, cosy, fonctionnel et confortable, tout proche du subway, de groceries stores et de la laundry.  Notre séjour s'est impeccablement bien passé. Nous les remercions sincèrement de leur accueil et recommandons sans réserve !
