Artist's Home on one of the prettiest streets in town.
Introduction
I am a professional artist, a painter, represented in galleries in large cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Palm Beach. I once had my studio located in the living room but have secured a beautiful studio downtown. I know my cats miss me during the day, which is why it’s important to me to have someone there with them. They warm up to people quickly and need to be included.

Small town southern Charm! 1941 home on one of the prettiest streets in town. 3500 sq ft, 4 br, 2.5 bathrooms, wormy chestnut den. You will enjoy a bedroom on the front side of the house with a queen sized bed, plenty of drawer space and a closet that is empty. An attached bathroom with original tile. The den has a 60” television that is perfect for spending some time binging on Netflix, or just reading. There is a fabulous outdoor porch that is perfect for coffee in the morning and tea or wine in the afternoon. Wifi throughout. We have a charming downtown that is very alive with a handful of nice restaurants and an art gallery that could be in any large city. Our downtown is about a mile away, and is a safe and pleasant walk. Lots of great wineries and craft beer too. We even have a distillery.
Show more...Responsibilities
Responsibilities: Once a day, top off food and water dishes for the 3 inside cats. Once or twice a day scoop litter into the Litter Genie. One litter box is in the upstairs laundry and three litter boxes are located in the garage downstairs, with a very clever kitty access door. I also feed the neighborhood strays on the side porch. And depending on the season, watering the yard and plants might be necessary. My kitties love to be brushed and combed, and with their long fur they need it. These are the most affectionate and attentive cats you will ever be around. They want to be near you but not on you. They are just so easy. At different times of the year, a little visitor named Miss Mopsey lives in the house. She is a 7 pound tortoiseshell kitty, she’s had all her shots and is fixed. If she’s there you will see her on the bridge but never upstairs. She’s well behaved and causes no problems, she’s just not social.

Amy has a gang of amazing cats!! They are truly wonderful - all so affectionate and well-behaved. It was very easy to care for them. They have a simple, dust-free litter system in the basement that amazingly leaves no smells! Her home is spacious, beautiful, bright and located in a great neighborhood. Amy was really awesome - always helpful and easy to reach if needed. She had lots of suggestions for exploring the area. Housesitting for her was a great experience and I'd highly recommend it to others.

Amy is not only concerned about her cats, but also about you. She is very flexible in attempting to meet any needs you may have. She provides a warm welcome and lovely home with your own bedroom and bath. She is easy to contact if needed and leaves plenty of provisions for her cats. Her cats are affectionate and love to be brushed. Thank you Amy for a wonderful house sit. Michele and Frank (Lucien)

First of all, Amy is a wonderful and warm person. I arrived late in the evening just before she left, but she took the time to get to know me, and left me some dinner and breakfast foods in the fridge. She did an excellent job giving me a tour of the house, showing me where everything was, and giving me recommendations to things in the area. Her instructions for the cats were clear and simple. Her home is full of art and has a lot of character; great atmosphere. (Hope I can come back some day!) Second, the cats are super affectionate and cuddly. I spent a lot of time working at the desk in the den and Rosebud sat on my lap all the time, while Clementine sat on my feet. Red and Tommy got into a tiff once or twice, but overall they are very sweet cats, always following me around the house and talking to me. I was only there for a week, but I missed them when I left -- they grew on me really fast! The area is nice, especially for hikers. The state park is about an hour and a half to the west and has some great trails. Highly recommended for a sit.

I really enjoyed sitting for Amy. Her home is beautiful and is in a nice area. The cats are well mannered and easy. I am looking forward to a second sit for Amy in February.

I was in Mexico for the month, and every morning Denise would send me pictures of my sweet cats. It was a great way to start my day. She was an early riser which fit well with their schedule. Denise was very good at communicating with me. No hot water she says-I immediately called the company who’d installed a new hot water heater 14 months ago, and Denise coordinated with them for initial inspection and then installation. She was also a champ to put up with 4-5 days of no hot water. She was alsovery helpful in tracking down an overseas package that never seemed to get delivered correctly. I very much appreciated that. I would have Denise back anytime.

Jeanne was a hit with my Maine Coons almost immediately, so I felt that she was cat-approved. It was a quick, two night stay, and I was last minute with posting it, so we were both thrilled it worked out. I’d have her back anytime. She was laid back and seemed at ease in the house. Had her own food with her, settled in quickly, cats loved her. All good. And I really liked talking to her, nice lady.
