Flat in leafy gated complex with a beautiful cat & access to the Peak District
Introduction
We live in a lovely apartment in a gated community in nether edge, sheffield with our rescue cat, Gatsby. Dee works in healthcare and Jake runs a business, working from home. We’re both very active and enjoy our Peak District proximity. Gatsby is a rescue cat from the sheffield cat shelter, they believe he was a stray, approximately 3 years old. They neutered him and he has now been living here for 4 years. He’s the king of the house and sleeps on the bed and has free roam of the place. He’s taken some time to really settle and he doesn’t like to be left alone as it really unsettles him, which is why we decided to join this website. We’ve had many many successful sits and Gatsby is very affectionate with new people. We need a cat sitter as Gatsby is very sociable and misses us when we go away. He’s chatty, really loves playing and enjoys a good cuddle. He likes to pretend he’s hungry ALL the time but sometimes a cuddle or playtime will suffice! He loves to be in the same room as you, and will sometimes follow you around until he’s got to know you. He’s adorable and super affectionate. He used to be a bit of a bruiser and has been known to come home with various injuries, and has had to visit the vet a few times because of this! However, this seems to have stopped now…. Hopefully.

NO SMOKERS PLEASE. An individual sitter, couples and children won’t be considered as Gatsby is nervous with lots of new people. Gatsby is neutered and a keen outdoor adventurer. He can come and go as he wishes through the cat flap day and night. But he does love a cuddle! We don't want to leave him alone when we go away as he seeks so much comfort from people (when he isn't diving in and out.) This doesn't mean you can't go out walking for the day- he’s fine. As long as he gets lots of strokes and cuddles and roam of the house and not left alone over night, with his food and water regularly topped up- then he will be a happy Catsby! Gatsby sleeps on the bed, with you, even in the spare room and the bedroom and living room doors remain open so he can come and go as he pleases. We expect the house to be respected and looked after. Cleanliness is very important and we’d like to return home to it in the way we left it, please hoover and empty the bins at the end of the sit. Our home is a happy home and we love for others to enjoy it! We will provide a comprehensive information pack with useful information and our general living requests.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first sit on this site. Gatsby is an absolute sweetheart and the most wonderful company. Dee is extremely welcoming and gave me all the info I needed to have a comfortable stay in her beautiful home. Communication was great throughout and I can't wait to sit for Gatsby again soon :)

Lovely sit in beautiful location with an adorable cat. Gatsby was so friendly and sweet and a delight to watch and play with. I hope he enjoyed having me around. as much as I enjoyed being around him. Dee left great clear instructions and though I was not up to much peak adventuring Covid a few months ago) it was a very comfortable flat with a wonderful serene yard area surrounded by trees and birdsong. Thoroughly recommend.
