House-sitting in Raleigh

Needs and animals

Animals with specific needs | Many plants | Vegetable patch | 1 Cat | 1 Fish

You will need to have a car here as we are 6 kms from a shop and any facilities.
Our cat's name is Amba and he is an affectionate and docile ginger7y/o desexed male.
He will need flea treatment one a month, feeding morning and evening.
You will not be able to do trips away ( other than day trips) as you have to be home EVERY night to make sure that he is inside and close his cat door ~ this is for both his protection and for the sake of the native wildlife. His cat door is opened again every morning.
We want someone who is a cat lover as Amba likes lots of cuddles and pats.

There are 2 fish ponds which need to be kept clear of debris and the fish need to be fed daily

Liz and her husband Leigh have just finished a 10 day house-sit for us in Paris, taking great care of our cat Neko and dog Monty. I came back to a very tidy home and two happy pets, along with some beautiful flowers and a card. Liz has a lot of experience house-sitting so I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of our home. Liz and Leigh were very independent so they were able to just get on with the house-sit even when things didn't go to plan. We are very happy with the whole experience and would welcome them back any time to Paris. Thanks Liz and Leigh!
