House sit in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur!
We are a Canadian couple living and working in Subang Jaya, a suburb southwest of Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur (about 30 minutes away). We are looking for someone to come and take care of our house and 2 cats from mid- December to mid-January.
The basics: We need someone to make sure the cats are fed and loved while we're gone. General upkeep of the house is required as well (watering plants, cleaning, etc). This is not a paid position - you pay for your flights, food, entertainment, etc - we pay the rent and the bills. From time to time there are extra things we need to ask a house sitter to do, but that will be organized well before your arrival. The cats are fairly independent, and can be left alone for a couple days in a row if you would like to visit nearby places during your visit. We have a 3 bedroom link house with a big kitchen and many western features (including air con); it is about a minute walk (depending on your speed) in Malaysia's heat to the nearest malls and train station. There are restaurants and a convenience store within a 10 minute walk (cabs can be arranged as well). We require house sitters with a decent level of fitness and the ability to tolerate heat and humidity - a typical day hits 35 Celsius, and there isn't much relief from the heat. Please consider this factor when applying.
We have had many house sitters over the past 7 years - we get many replies when we post, so please give some time for us to reply. We typically give preference to couples, and those with previous house sitting and/or traveling experience, however we have previously 'hired' inexperienced people as well.
Please express your interest by submitting a reply on this site. Since we often get over replies, please simply give us the following information: Name(s) & age (we don't discriminate, but good to know) Country of Residence Brief history of travel / house sitting experience address for us to contact you at
We will reply to you by with more questions if we're interested in learning more about you.
In our reply, we will include pictures of the house and area, as well as more information about us.
We will do our best to reply to everyone as soon as possible. Please be patient.
Thank you for your interest.
