Needs and animals

Vegetable patch | 1 Cat | 1 Farm animal

Kit is an elderly gentleman now. He is quite a shy cat but very sweet and gentle, he likes his own space but also loves some attention too – when he decides it :-) He has never scratched or bitten us. He is on a constant diet as he's rather large - due to his inactivity and his painful hips (see medication section) he spends a lot of his time sleeping, in the warmer months he does spend time outside though. He mainly just needs feeding morning and evening and if he's around at lunchtime too - with just a few biscuits, and his water topping up every day, and letting in and out when the mood takes him as he can't get in or out of his cat flap now.

House

We are located in a renovated and modernised property. The house has large, light, bright and comfortable rooms, we have BT YouView and fast broadband/wireless access. We have had house sitters for around 13/14 years now and have reviews on another site as well as this one. We can provide these along with a couple of independent one's as well. We are very clean and tidy people so everything will be spick and span ready for your arrival and, having had a few disappointing experiences over the years, the care of our home is as important to us as is the care of our pets and we always looks for like minded sitters. We're always pleased to provide some food items for the first few days for our sitters depending on their needs/access to transport etc and truly believe that this is a two way process, always making sure that the sit is as right for the sitter as it is for us. We are vegetarian but don't necessarily make this a stipulation for any sitters considering applying. We're afraid our sits are not suitable for applicants with children or animals, but thank you for reading this add anyway if …
