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 loved staying in Jennifer’s spotless, cozy condo! The guest bathroom and bedroom are very cozy, the kitchen is spacious and well equipped, and the balcony is gorgeous—even on chilly days, with a blanket and tea. The neighborhood is quiet and I felt perfectly safe walking around at night. Unicorn is truly a tiny magical creature! She is the most affectionate, gentlest and friendliest cat you will ever meet; she will love you instantly and cuddle with you at every opportunity. She loves giving and receiving love more than anything. Jennifer is one of the most gracious hosts; you will wish she was there your entire stay. Her consideration for and anticipation of my needs made me feel at home immediately, and her generosity was touching. She even gave me lunch for the drive home! Thank you for everything, Jennifer and Unicorn! I hope to see you both again!

Unicorn was such a joy to stay with. She is affectionate and is happiest when she is near you, sitting on your lap (or your laptop😊). Jennifer is a warm and welcoming homeowner, someone I'm glad to have had the opportunity to meet. Her home is so serene, comfortable, and clean that it was a pleasure to be there. I especially enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony overlooking a small pond with Unicorn close by. I wholeheartedly recommend this sit.

I would not hesitate in recommending that you sit for Jennifer and Unicorn. You will find a beautiful condo in a delightful area. The home is so clean and well kept with everything you will need for a comfortable house sit. Unicorn is a lovely friendly little cat who is very easy to look after. We found it easy to stick to her routines, Jennifer has written a really good welcome guide that was very useful. It was great to be able to contact Jennifer so easily both before we arrived so that we were all comfortable with the sit arrangements and during our sit. I feel everything worked out very well and we had a good time visiting a part of the country that was new to us and it was easy to get anywhere we wanted by using the plentiful supply of Uber cars.

Jennifer is an amazing person, words cannot describe how incredibly caring and thoughtful she is. Her home and neighborhood are beautiful. We had the opportunity to see baby ducks leap into the pond and swim for the first time, like on TV, but right from her balcony. We have cared for many cats and by far Unicorn is as unique as her name suggests. Over the course of our stay, Unicorn became my yogi of sorts, queuing me when to slow down, relax, and enjoy the sunrise. She even gave me big hints about sleeping in, which I don't do often. Although we were there to take care of Unicorn, it kind of felt like she was taking care of us. It was as if she was wisely splitting her attention equally between myself and my daughter and encouraging us to play at the perfect time. I was able to get so much work done because Unicorn was so easy to care for and the neighborhood is very quiet. We took a few day trips and there is so much to do in and around Raleigh that it is never boring. When we returned "home" Unicorn always greeted us at the top of the stairs. Everything was just so lovely, we cannot wait to return. We miss Unicorn already. We are very grateful for this opportunity.

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.
