Needs and animals

Vegetable patch | 1 Cat

ONE WEEK FLEXIBLE BETWEEN THESE DATES - I am looking for one or two cat lovers to take care of my precious cat for a week towards the end of July.

The garden aslo needs watering daily with a hose, but this shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes.

YOU: A quiet person or couple as Yoldjou is easily spooked. True animal lover(s) who will respect Yoldjou’s routine and who ideally will spend time at home. Someone who knows cats well and can tell when they are unwell or injured. Responsible, uncomplicated and self-reliant. Also reasonably tidy. Previous petsitting experience and references preferred + a proof of personal liability insurance for you stay please.

Beyond this platform, I have more references from happy petsitters from other platforms.

Yoldjou (it means “the traveler” in Turkish) is a neutered male cat and very special to me. He is easy-going and friendly but he loves attention – he acts more like a dog. He spends a lot of time outside, but will come back to ask for food and cuddles several times a day, so I am looking for someone who really likes cats and will interact with him often. Other responsibilities include sending me regular updates, checking …

Other responsibilities include sending me regular updates, checking on him if he’s gone for too long and lock him inside at night. He can stay alone for several hours, and even for a whole day but only occasionally. Please only apply if you're ok with all that.

Additional information about these dates

Flexible dates but I would like you to arrive at least a full day before I leave so my shy cat can get used to you and I can show you around.

House

3-bedroom house in the countryside, in a hamlet with neighbours, located 4 km from the small spa town of La Roche-Posay, 25 km from Chatellerault and 1 hour from Poitiers (West France), both of which connect to Paris by train in 1 h 30. You definitely need a car to live here as the nearest shop is 4 km away and there is no public transport near my house. It is best if you come with your own vehicle, but I could lend you my small car at certain conditions. Affordable monthly car rental options are available in the area and you can also rent an electric bike.

Simple and functional house, nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. No air conditioning but the house stays quite cool in summer with the shutters and fans. You will stay in a large bedroom on the ground floor. Good unlimited internet, fast enough for Netflix and Zoom calls.

Tourism and Leisure

My place is in a bucolic area south of the Loire valley with old villages, historical places, woods and rivers. The small nearby town of La Roche-Posay has all facilities including a couple of weekly producer markets, supermarkets, pharmacies, a choice of restaurants and open-air eateries, a cinema (even a golf and a casino). You can visit castles, go swimming in public pools or rivers with supervised areas, rent an electric bike or a canoe, and enjoy outdoor cultural events. Although there is plenty to do this is rural France so this sit is best for people who like the countryside.

Dominique aime tellement son chat qu’elle confie sa maison en confiance. Je fus très bien accueillie 2 jours avant son départ ce qui a grandement facilité mon séjour. Je suis touchée par cette première expérience, moi qui suit sensiblement sensible à l’humanité des êtres que je fréquente. 1000 mercis Dominique pour cette 1ere belle expérience et au plaisir de se revoir 😻. Youlcu est un amour de minou, on a bien ronronné durant ce mois de janvier frisquet.

Dominique a été une home-sitter parfaite ! Douce et calme, elle a su très vite se faire accepter par nos animaux, débrouillarde et réactive elle s'est occupée de notre poule apprivoisée malade et lui a prodigué les soins nécessaires... Nous avons retrouvé notre maison impeccable. Nous la recommandons vivement, vous pouvez faire appel à elle en toute confiance !

Séjour parfait car je recevais régulièrement des nouvelles de mes chats ! De plus ce séjour s’est organisé à la dernière minute alors que j’étais déjà partie en vacances. Dominique s’est montrée très arrangeante et disponible. Je recommande vivement !
