A sitter for a fun “ dog like” cat in the heart of ski country!
We have one cat to care for. Felix the cat is an indoor cat that needs to be walked once or twice a day outside, on his leash. He is well trained, clean and still as playful as a kitten.
We live in a beautiful century home, reported to have been built in 1835!
We’d expect the home to be kept clean, the walk and driveway to be cleared of ice and snow in the winter and the grass cut in summer. We’d ask that you do not leave our cat overnight unless it is by prior arrangement with our neighbour, Lise. We will introduce you to our good helpful neighbours. Please use our home with respect, as if it was your own responsibility to care for it, which is will be!
We require a poice check and good references

In the main home, we heat three different ways, wood with our Vermont castings high efficiency insert, the environmentally friendly Thermal Heating Pump is electric and we have an oil furnace that kicks in if the weather is extremely cold. Heating is less than you’d think as we have a thermal heat pump, a high efficiency fireplace wood insert and oil for really cold days.
We'd require you to pay a montly charge for heating our home for the weeks you contract to stay, TBA
