We need a house sitter

Natasha

Looking for someone to look after my two lovely cats and little dog whilst I go on holiday. I have a lovely house to stay in the gorgeous lakes, with guest bedroom and your own bathroom.

Nico is easy to look after having either 1 big walk a day or two 30-40min walks per day. He loves cuddles and just general attention from anyone. He's a rescue from Cyprus and has a dog walker 3x per week who will come pick him up so you can leave for the whole day and he will be sorted.

The kitties are very easy going, love cuddles and running around chasing each other. Both are rescues. The big white one is Max, who is a big softy and will let anyone pet him. Bella, a former street cat and more of a pack cat, loves company following her brother or you around, watching everything you do. Though she may hide from you for a little bit till she is used to you, once she likes you she's definitely a lap cat.

Both are a 100% house cats and not to be allowed outside at any time (even though they attempt it lol). They have access to the garden through the back kitty door during the day which auto locks at night.

My home is a 3 bed house, 3 bathroom detached house with open plan living and dining room in the lovely Kendal. The guest room has a double bed, wardrobe and shelves. Home has wifi, and kindle fire stick with the usual apps you can sign in on with your account.

The house is in Oxenholme borough of Kendal surrounded by fields and 5mins walking distance to Oxenholme train station which is 5 mins journey into Kendal or @10mins to Windermere. There are also 2 pubs each about 10-15min walk away. Although a car is suggested, you can get about using the train, bus and affordable taxis, depending on what you'd like to do.

There is a large Asda shopping centre 10 mins walk away with petrol station and there are two cafes. There is also a farm shop at Oxenholme station.

Preference is for a single person housesitter, who has lots of experience with dogs. The guest room is a little small and Nico needs to sleep in the same room on his little bed, so can end up being a squeeze for couples, but it is up to your preference.

You'll need to be able to communicate on whatsaap to send photos and updates and such please :)

House visitors are totally welcome during your stay, as long as it's kept to a minimum and please let me know in advance. Especially if it will be a regular thing as the cctv will notify (this is automatic from 6pm to 7am). Unfortunately, no loud parties or kids please, as this will disturb the pets which they are not used to.

I had a wonderful time with Max and Bella who were entertaining company with their chattiness, occasional mad moments and antics. Very easy to look after with a secure garden, automated cat flap and litter tray, plus a cat fountain. I was able to come and go as I pleased, exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside. Bella warmed to me straight away and loved morning strokes and watching me eat. Max enjoyed head scratches once he got to know me. Natasha sent a detailed welcome pack and ... MORE

It was such a pleasure looking after Max and Bella while Natasha was on holiday, they are very different but both lovely characters. They were very easy to care for. Staying in Cumbria, so near the Lake District was wonderful, I was absolutely spoilt for choice of places to go and explore. The area is stunningly beautiful. I highly recommend this sit 😃

Fantastic sit! Natasha was great to sit for, as were her lovely and funny cats - Max and Bella. Comfortable house and amazing location, with the lakes on your doorstep.

Max and Bella are gorgeous cats and fun to be around. I loved their relationship with each other and I enjoyed watching them out on their catio. They were very friendly and easy to look after. The house is very comfortable and in such a lovely part of the country. Natasha was very welcoming. She provided me with house notes and kitty notes before the stay so I had answers to any questions I might have. There is a huge Asda a short walk away - so you have everything you need. I had a very ... MORE

I had a great time with Bella and Max they kept me entertained for hours! The house is warm and comfy and perfectly situated for local shops and transport links. Natasha is really nice and was so pleased to be home (after her long haul flight home had been delayed) and was greeted by the lovely cats! I would recommend Natasha for pet sitters

Natasha was great. She made everything very clear. The house was really nice and Bella and Max were so much fun to look after, both very energetic cats with great personalities. If I ever needed anything Natasha was always there. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
