Best of all worlds in New England - cute coastal town near Boston!
Introduction
We are Fay and Mid and we live here in Hingham, MA just south of Boston with two delightful black and white cats named Martha and Clive. They are indoor kitties only. We are both retired but keep very physically active and we travel several times a year. Mid writes poetry and Fay plays guitar and piano and is an equestrian. During our careers we worked in tech, documentary production and co-owned a yoga studio. We both play guitar and sing and speak French and we're grandparents to two fantastic little kids. As we travel, we'd love to know our beautiful kitties are well looked after in the comfort of their own home. Come enjoy our home.
Show more...Home & location
We live in a modest and comfortable, open plan house with lovely perennial gardens and a yard with hammock and a deck with a hot tub. The house is located on a small dead end street in the lovely coastal town of Hingham, MA just 15 miles south of Boston. You'll be sleeping in a king memory foam bed in our skylit bedroom. We have all the modern conveniences (wifi, flat screen TV), a well supplied kitchen for cooking as well as a yoga/exercise room and other exercise equipment at your disposal. There is an office and an additional bedroom on the first floor. The town of Hingham is gorgeous as well as being historic. The downtown area has cafes, cute stores, an art movie house. Nantasket beach in nearby Hull is 15 minutes away by car and a day at the beach is always fun and quite crowded on summer week-ends. Hingham and the surrounding towns have numerous green areas: conservation land and parks to walk or bike in. Exploring nearby Boston is easy and accessible by ferry (a ten minute walk from our house), train (a 5 minute car ride) or by car. Boston is one of the country's oldest cities and has wonderful museums, parks, restaurants, concerts and green spaces to explore. We think our location is the best of all worlds: a great house to hang out in, wonderful places to explore and one of the US's great cities nearby.

Care, feed, play and keep litter box in basement scooped and neat for two young indoor cats (Clive and Martha) and keep their water fountain, filled and clean. They eat morning and evening. They are personable and playful but may be slow to warm up at first. Several indoor plants need watering as well. The hot tub needs some tending by way of adding chemicals to keep it clean. Depending on the season, our lawn may need mowing. We have an electric mower that's very easy to use. Also, make sure wild bird feeder in back yard is refilled when empty.

Fay and Mid were gracious hosts and their home is light filled, cozy and well appointed. It’s a short walk from their home to the ferry and an easy commute to Boston. Hingham has lovely coffee shops, grocery stores and walks along the ocean. Clive and Martha are a delight to look after. They are easy going and love pats once they get to know you. I really enjoyed my stay.

I feel so fortunate to have had this opportunity to pet sit Martha and Clive for Mid and Fay! These two kitties are pretty skittish at first, but once they warm up, they are so much fun! They love to play and I enjoyed having conversations with them 😂 Mid and Fay’s home has everything you need and they were quick to respond to any questions I had. Not to mention, the hot tub is such a luxury! I loved my stay here and encourage others to apply!

Clive and Martha rule this house and they know it!! They will hide by day and play by night. Solely indoor cats, makes for a seamless petsitting experience. Fay and Mid's home is in a South Shore community with walking distance to Boston Ferry. Short distance to Natasket beach, commuter rails and Hingham Shipyard (a trendy night spot). Home has everything one could need for a relaxing sitting experience. Highly recommend-can't wait to come back during Hot Tub season!
