Friendly Cat Need Human Companionship

Introduction

Hey! I'm Christina. I love old books, crab cakes, and an ocean sunset. I'm not British but I think there's very little that can't be helped by a hot cup of tea. I'm desperately trying to keep some houseplants alive, even though I don't have a green thumb. I think people are endlessly fascinating and complexly simple. I love going on adventures, exploring new places, and trying new flavors but ultimately, there's no place like home. I'm looking for someone who appreciates the little things in life and who can love on my kitty when I'm away from home.

Home & location

Our house is a 3 story, end unit townhouse with a small deck and a small, fenced backyard. We love our home and have tried to infuse it with our style which is Asian-inspired classic comfort. (And maybe just a touch of eclectic!) You'd have access to our full kitchen, living room, sun room, first floor bonus room, and two guest bedrooms. One bedroom has a queen bed (our cherry-blossom themed room) and the other bedroom has a twin bunk bed (2 beds.) The bedrooms are small but the rest of the living space makes up for it. We have 2 full and 2 half bathrooms, including a soaking tub. We have great wifi, good cell service, and a variety of streaming services. We are in a quiet neighborhood and less than 10 minutes from a huge variety of shopping and restaurants, 10 minutes from Dulles Airport, and near the Silver Line Metro.

Muse is a cool and handsome character. He’s social on his terms and can be talkative especially around his meals/snacks. Muse is a man about the Town(house). He would nap most of the day but after his evening snack, he would hang out on the couch near me. With the litter robot, auto feeder and water fountain, it’s a breeze to take care of him. Mushu is sweet and will come up to the glass to say hello. He’s very photogenic and enjoys his meals. Mushu was described as a happy little fish in a previous sitter’s review and I concur. Christina and Nicholas have a lovely home with all the comforts and amenities. The guest room is beautifully decorated with a cherry blossoms theme. We had great communication throughout the sit. I’d look forward to taking care of Muse and Mushu again.

Couldn't have asked for a better first-time TH sit! I was able to meet Christina ahead of time, but her Welcome Guide is so detailed and thorough. I referred back to it several times in regard to trash/recycling days. Muse was an absolute gentleman--greeted me right away when I arrived, and got closer and more friendly each day. His fur is so silky! Christina's home is welcoming, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable for a telecommuter like me. My favorite spot was sitting in the sun with Muse on the chaise lounge.

Christina’s home was lovely, inviting and spacious. I had my own guest bedroom and bath with everything I needed and that’s always a plus! Muse was such a joy to take care of. He was a little timid at first, then quickly came around for belly rubs and stayed close to me as I went about my day. When I was packing to leave, he climbed in my suitcase which was so endearing to me 😻 Mushu (fish) swam to the side of his bowl every morning as if to say “good morning” . He’s a happy little fish 🐠 I highly recommend this sit…5 stars all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Christina and Nicholas were a pleasure to sit for. I was able to spend about an hour prior to the sit meeting them and their cat Muse and getting a tour of their beautiful home. They were both welcoming and enjoyable people, and they communicated their expectations thoroughly and clearly, which I appreciated. Muse is wonderful! He does take just a bit of time to appear when you first arrive, but eventually he will come out and is happy to be scratched and pet. He will cuddle only when he feels like it, though, so don't be surprised if that happens infrequently, especially at first. The house is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located to everything you need if you have a car available. I definitely recommend sitting for Christina and Nicholas when you have an opportunity. This was a fantastic experience!

Muse is a talkative, friendly cat. The house is very clean and comfortable with a lovely kitchen in a nice quiet corner of Sterling with easy access to main roads but very little local traffic. A perfect hideaway with a sweet kitty.
