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.

My first pet and house sit through THS and I couldn’t have better one! Amalia and Callum have beautiful home with garden. It was a pleasure to go to the garden and sniff rose in the morning. Callum made by himself nice decking for relax in the sun. Callum was very hospitable and I felt like in Home. Young cats are very playful and funny, older cat came every evening to get cuddles and watch tv with me. Surroundings are wonderful to explore by bike, there is pleasing Railway Path to Bristol and to the Bath. Thank you, I enjoyed very much staying at your house. It was a lovely sit, despite hard moments due to illness of one Cat but I would be happy to do it again!

I looked after Amalias 3 cats while she went away for a break. The cats were lovely, Atlas, Spingo and Styx, all very affectionate, loved cuddles and very placid. They all took it in turns to sit on my lap, I was surrounded by cats! Not at all high maintenance, I would definitely look after the cats for Amalia again! The house was in a nice area on the outskirts of Bristol, easy commuting by bike or car, they had a log burner which was cosy on the colder days I was there. 😃

Terrific young couple. Fit, enthusiastic & positive people. Amalia & Callum were a pleasure to meet & sit for. Callum drove & collected me in central Bristol & cooked me a very nice dinner which we ate together whilst he gave me the complete briefing on everything I needed to know. He left for Kenya the next day. The 3 cats were a joy. Very friendly & playful all of the time. Really relaxed & reflecting their owners attitudes. They are in the process of putting together a very warm & cosy home on the outskirts of the city of Bristol. A nice area with easy access to everything one might need. Amalia came home at the end of the sit & I had a chance to meet & chat with her too. A lovely, couple with a nice cozy home & 3 great cats. I realky enjoyed it & would not gesitate to carry out a sit for them again, if lucky enough to be invited back.
