Sitter(s) needed to look after four sweet-natured cats in a beautiful Transylvanian mountain village, near Brasov (Romania). I have to go to the UK from 30 Nov to 12 Dec, so would like sitters here on 26th or 27th Nov to meet cats and learn the house before I leave.
It's a great opportunity to get a flavour of the Carpathian Mountains in winter - there will probably be lots of snow. You need to be hardy and used to wood-burning stoves, chopping wood, wearing proper clothes and not needing urban luxuries. I'm not off-grid and the house is well-equipped, but it's 5 miles (8km) to the nearest shops and another 50 mins by train to the nearest city. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and one speaks excellent English (there are others in the village), so there is always help if you get stuck with anything. There's one bedroom, so this is a good house for a single person or a couple. I can send you photos and lots more information if you're interested. There's a blog at maguratransylvania.wordpress too. Oh, and I've got if you want to talk.
I can put you in touch with previous housesitters to get their impression of cats, house, village.
