The sweetest cat in pretty condo, Raleigh, NC
Introduction
Hello! :) I'm Jennifer, a native New Yorker living in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. I’m looking for a clean, thoughtful, and loving cat sitter. My home is a lovely, quiet sanctuary and my cat is a sweet, cuddly lap cat. :) An ideal sitter is a single person or couple who appreciates an affectionate furry friend and a clean and peaceful living space. Great for digital nomad! Unicorn loves when you’re around. She gets stressed when left home alone for more than five hours. About Me: I'm an energy healer and creative catalyst to visionaries for the greater good. I’ve delivered light transmissions for peace in the US, Central America, the UK, Europe, India, and Africa. I was a poet, editor, and writing professor in New York City for many years before moving to Raleigh to be near family. I’ve also lived in California, Arizona, and Hawaii. I love to travel domestically and internationally for pleasure and work. I wish I could take Unicorn with me, but I can’t, so I’m looking for a trusted house sitter to take care of my baby while I’m away. If you’d like to keep Unicorn company and spend time in Raleigh-Durham, please get in touch. :) The City of Oaks is known for its trees. We’ve got 180 miles of greenway and trails, a great food scene, museums, festivals, arts, sports, cultural activities, a friendly, diverse population, and amazing weather. I love meeting new people, and building local, national, and global community. And I am fully vaccinated. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

Please do not let Unicorn outside. She’s an indoor cat. Feed Unicorn three meals a day, and a couple snacks. I have an automatic feeder you can use if you'll be out during a mealtime. Scoop litter twice a day. Water two houseplants once a week. Take garbage cans out once a week. Leave house as clean and tidy as you found it, please. Thanks! :) Thank you for showing Unicorn love. She loves company. She will give you a lot of love too. She’s happiest when cuddled up on your lap. She will melt your heart. Thank you for understanding she’s a sensitive one. She gets a little overwhelmed by too much noise or activity. Please don’t leave her alone for more than five hours at a time, if possible. ❤️

I feel so fortunate to have been chosen to care for Jennifer's oh so sweet cat 'Uni' and her gorgeous home. Jennifer's communication was terrific and she has the most detailed Welcome Guide that leaves you well equipped for anything that might occur. That gets a a big 'WOW!' Her home is in a beautiful, safe, walkable neighborhood with many restaurants and shops close by. Raleigh and surrounding suburbs are an easy drive and worth exploring! Jennifer's home is a relaxing haven. But the star of the show is Unicorn! What a sweet and loving cat she is. She greeted me at the door, sat on my lap while I read, and sat on my work notes while I wrote! What's not to love?! She is an easy-going bundle of joy. What are you waiting for? Say YES to this sit:)

This was a wonderful sit! Jennifer is a great, experienced host with immaculate, beautiful and spacious condo! She gave us many great suggestions for the local area ( plus the best welcome guide!) and answered all of our questions in a very thoughtful way. The star of the sit, Unicorn, is a gentle soul who is so sweet that we dearly miss her already! We had a great time and highly recommend this sit to the TH community!

We so, so enjoyed our two weeks here at Jen's forested, lake-side haven with her little baby (because of her size and personality, not age), "Unky," as we like to call her. Unicorn is the sweetest, funniest, cuddliest, most playful little thing ever. I (Kirby) was almost worried Dany was was going to to sneak her home, we became so attached. She was a treat to watch, very easy and easy-going (and she'll be quick to remind you if you're late for a meal 😂), and Jen's home was a treat to care for. She is immaculately clean (and rightly expects things to be returned that way upon leaving) and has immaculate, elegant taste in decor and design - it was like a luxury retreat center :) Thanks for entrusting it to us, Jen!♡ The location in Brier Creek is awesome, within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops, and the neighborhood has lots of cool amenities. We would jump at the chance to sit for Jen and Unicorn again! We will miss her - it was truly difficult to say goodbye, she really did become like our little baby!

I had a peaceful and enjoyable stay at Jennifer and Unicorn's home The condo was very peaceful, and I enjoyed looking out the window with unicorn every day and watching the blue herrings in the ducks. Unicorn is a very loving and affectionate cat. She is so small and cute like a kitten. Communication with Jennifer was great. There was a good of helpful updates on both ends and allowing one another to enjoy our trips and staycations if you are visiting the Raleigh Durham area this is a great place to be; very close to the airport and easy access to downtown and other attractions. I will happily return whenever, invited to take care and hang out with unicorn!

I had an amazing time during my stay with Unicorn. She greeted me with so much affection and purring when I arrived and she was a great companion for me through the sit. My favorite part of the experience was enjoying my morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the pond with Unicorn curled up in my lap. Jennifer was also a pleasure to communicate with before, during and after my sit. Her home was very clean and the atmosphere was so serene and peaceful. I felt right at home there with Unicorn and it was very easy to work remotely and enjoy the loving support from such a sweet kitty!

I received several applications for this sit, and I knew that Patricia was the one to choose. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, choose Trish. She is a genuine person with a loving presence and pure heart. She took good care of my cat and my condo. She spent time bonding with Unicorn, and sent adorable photos and thoughtful video updates daily. She even called after the sit was over to make sure everything was OK with Uni and the house. I love zeewoi. Being able to leave my baby at home with wonderful people like Trish has changed my life for the better.
