Cozy cottage with fireplace in countryside, Phila. suburb, needs loving cat care

Introduction

Retired couple with a sweet cat who love to travel, need a nature loving sitter for him who will enjoy greenery, quiet, and a very lovable tabby named Nimri! We like music, art, watching movies and shows, reading, and diverse cultures. Contemplative people are especially welcome as sitters.

Home & location

Charming cottage on a lush green acre near rolling countryside, outside small city, yet one one hour from Philadelphia, near PA Dutch country, hiking trails, farmer's markets, craft breweries and wineries, state parks, Valley Forge and other historic colonial-era attractions. West Reading nearby has ethnic eateries and quaint shops; 5 colleges in area have many cultural offerings. Home has piano, lots of books, hardwood floors, big windows for bird-watching alongside a creek, firepit, back porch, possible use of bike, private parking. Shared driveway must be kept open. Sitter will have a queen bed in second-floor bedroom.

Responsibilities

Feed cat, Nimri, morning and evening, refresh his water, water plants on porches and inside as needed, and keep home safe and neat. Bring in packages if any are delivered, promptly. Most importantly, keep lovable Nimbri happy! He loves a snuggle frequently, and, if you permit, likes to sleep in your bedroom at night, or even on the bed (highly optional!). Keep litter box scooped daily and changed as needed but certainly every 3-4 days. If you use the outside fire ring, must monitor it continuously and be sure fire is out and doused with water before leaving it. Interior fireplace can be used with care in wintertime, but be sure fire is out and fire screen closed. Sidewalk around the house and outside steps will been to be shoveled if we have significant snow.

Jen and Stan are warm and welcoming and we instantly felt right at home and part of the family. Nimri is low maintenance and lots of fun. He's cuddly and playful. We really enjoyed our time in their charming home and exploring the Reading area. Would go back in an instant.
