Cozy Scandi home between Bristol and Bath with four sociable cats
Introduction
We are a couple with three cats in a village outside Bristol. All the cats have very different personalities; have a wild play on the grass with Spingo and Apollo, or sit in companionship with Styx on the new decking, maybe firing up the pizza oven or barbecue?
Show more...Home & location
A cozy victorian home with a Scandi interior, our house with a garden is located in a village near Bristol. Food shop, pubs and chip shop within a 2 minute walk, as well as high streets with cafes and restaurants also in walking/cycling distance. Nice fields and woods for walking. The city of Bristol is a 15 minute drive away, or 30 minutes along the cycle path, located close to the house. The house itself is a two-bed (double bed in bedroom), with a home office (double sofa bed), living room and dining room both with TVs, chromecast, and WiFi. There are two functional fireplaces, one open and one brand new log burner (with plenty of wood) in the house, and a garden with a Webber BBQ and an Ooni pizza oven. The kitchen is fully equipped (oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge, freezer, etc) with both a filter coffee machine and an espresso machine with milk steamer. The bathroom has both a shower and bath that can be used. Washing machine and tumble dryer for use. Lots of board games, puzzles and books for you to explore!
Show more...Responsibilities
Primarily feeding the cats, and giving them love and attention. The cats spend more time outside in the summer and love to play - the feather rod is their absolute favourite and they often bring it to your feet to show you. Styx spends most of her awake time outside, exploring further afield, while Spingo is more of a homebody, checking someone is home, often snoozing in the flowerbed, or suckling on the blanket when she forgets she's not a baby anymore! Toileting is mostly done outdoors but there are trays in the house that may need changing. Apollo is an ex-stray rescue and can be skittish - disruptions can also cause toilet accidents so just be on the lookout.

It was a pleasure to sit Spingo, Styx and Apollo. They are so cute and easy going. Amalia was a great host and made sure that we feel at home. We would come back any time and highly recommend this sit!

My stay at Amalias was amazing and smooth running. She made sure I arrived safely and even arrived to a cute little NY gift. She has such a beautiful home and her fur babies were so charming, definitely an amazing way to enter the new year. All of the fur babies had such big personalities but were so easy going and adapted to me quite well which made it easy to relax. I would definitely love the honor to be able to care for the crew again someday.

The four cats are really adorable, they all have slightly different personalities. Dear little Agnes is 12 years old but she is small like a kitten and she rules over the other three younger & larger cats. She is very much a lap cat - as soon as I sat on the sofa, she wanted to curl up on my lap, she is so cute and for a senior cat, she is also very playful. Tireless Spingo liked to drag her fishing rod toy to me to ask to play, and she would drag it back and drop it at my feet if she wanted me to continue playing with her. Beautiful black cat Styx very elegantly taps at the dry food containers when she wants to eat. She slept on my bed every night, and sometimes Spingo as well. Apollo always waited patiently to be served his food last after the three girls, and he certainly knows how to lick the bowls clean! Amalia and Callum are generous & thoughtful hosts and their home is comfy & well-equipped. The wood stove in the dining/living room was fabulous on rainy days. For sitters without a car, it is very close to a bus stop that gets you into Bristol city centre in about 45-50 minutes. And there is also a Tesco Express supermarket as well as other shops just a few minutes walk from the house. This was a very enjoyable experience and I would love to look after these 4 cats again sometime in the future.

I really enjoyed having Amalia's four adorable felines to look after, especially my new best friend Agnes who had only recently arrived and slept stuck to me every night! They are all such characters, and lovely cats. Amalia made sure I had all the info need re. their different food etc, so it was easy to look after them and a pleasure to spend time at their cosy home. Thanks Amalia, hope to see you again!
