Sitter needed for two loveable cats.

Introduction

I live in Hove by the sea and South Downs and have two beautiful fur babies Pipa and Rio. Rio is a male cat and Pipa is a female and I rescued them as babies in Brazil. I love to travel and lately, all my regular sitters (friends) have become unable to do it due to other commitments. I work in media and marketing from home and love the outdoors, keeping fit, the beach, eating out and being with friends. I love my home, it's my sanctuary and I'm hoping that someone else will enjoy it as much as I do. I have a beautiful garden which gets the sunshine all day and I am a 10 minute walk from Hove beach. Looking for a female sitter non-smoker or a female couple.

Home & location

I have a lovely 1 bedroom lower ground floor flat with a beautiful peaceful garden. It has a large lounge with dining table, large Samsung 52 inch TV on the wall above the fireplace with Amazon Prime, I don't have regular TV. My kitchen is fully equipped and clean and I have a bathroom with shower over bath. I am right next to all local transport links into Brighton and Hove town centre and round the corner from George Street in Hove which has everything you could ever wish for! There is a local Boots, Superdrug, Robert Dyas, Waterstones and so many lovely little restaurants and cafes only a 2 minute walk away. I often walk to the beach which takes around 10 minutes depending on how fast you walk! You really are spoilt for choice with the location and it is only 2 minutes from Hove train station. It's all there if you want it....eating out, beach, cafes, shopping, theatre in Brighton....I'm a proud home owner and love keeping my flat nice. The garden has a swing chair, hammock and is decked with a beautiful tree at the bottom. It really is a sanctuary whilst being so close to everything you need. Please note it is a non-smoking flat.

Responsibilities

They are really easy to look after as they are house cats, they have access to the garden but it has cat netting so they can't get out onto the roads etc....They have their morning feed about 7-30am then some lunch around 1pm and tea about 5pm. Rio has kidney issues so needs some powder sprinkled into his food twice a day along with vitamins and plenty of fresh water. I do have a cat feeder for when I am out for the day which you can use also. If it's sunny they love just coming in and out or sitting out there relaxing. I work from home so they will often just chill with me in the day on their cat tree in the lounge or on the bed in my bedroom. They have a cat litter in the bathroom that I clean once a day. They are very chilled cats, Rio is a cuddle monster and very friendly and talkative, Pipa is a bit more nervous and takes her time getting to know you but once she does she will sit with you and want cuddles too. I have a couple of garden and house plants that will need a little watering but that's it. As they are older cats they like being around calm and peaceful people who are gentle and loving.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time housesitting for Nicola in Hove. Rio and Pipas are such friendly cats and we had so many good cuddles. The flat is comfortable and well cared for. It’s also in a great location as you’re near Hove’s central shopping area with an abundance of shops and restaurants. You’re also really close to buses into Brighton and the train station so day trips to places such as Lewes, Arundel, Chichester, or even London are effortless. Nicola was a great host. She’d left her place well equipped for my stay and was in regular contact to answer questions. She had decorated her place for Christmas and even left a card and present for me – what a kind, welcoming gesture! I highly recommend this housesit.

Thank you Nicola! I had a lovely time in Hove & in your very cozy home. Rio & Pippa are so sweet and cuddly, I couldn’t have asked for better animal companions. Thanks again!
