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.).

Additional information about these dates

We will be away from December 21 afternoon to January 7 evening. So ideally, we are looking for sitter(s) that could arrive 1-2 days before our departure (to hand the apartment keys, introduce the cats, etc.) and stay till we are back. But dates are negotiable, and we also don't mind people who would like to stay a bit longer (besides the 2-person bed in the bedroom, we also have a 2-person sofa-bed in the living room).

Nous sommes venus chez Benjamin et Varvara pour nous occuper de leurs 2 minettes pendant leur absence et avons passé un excellent séjour! Ditch et Cassis sont 2 chattes très douces et affectueuses, avec un caractère bien différent mais tout aussi attachant! Le logement de Benjamin et Varvara, spacieux, propre et agréable, est très bien situé, au cœur de Brooklyn, dans un quartier bien sympa et animé. Tout New York est facilement accessible, tant en transports en commun qu’à vélo (plein de voies cyclables sécurisées). New York est une ville vraiment incroyable, de jour comme de nuit et Benjamin et Varvara nous avaient donné plein de conseils/ adresses pour que nous en profitions au maximum. Nous avons pu également profiter de leur agréable compagnie la veille de leur départ ainsi qu’à leur retour, et avons pu échanger sur des sujets très variés. De belles rencontres pour nous, et un séjour que nous referions sans hésitation si l’occasion se représentait!

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!
