Seeking short-term sitter for 7 days starting March 2nd to care for my kitties Jacques and Mingus and our apartment in Washington Hgts, Manhattan. 

This is a pleasant, lo-fuss housesit where you will have easy access to all of New York City! The subway is a 4-minute walk away. 

This is a great residential neighborhood right near the entrance of beautiful Fort Tryon Park. 10-minute walk to The Cloisters museum, views of the Hudson, and shopping nearby.

I am a business owner and spend a lot of time working from home. Kitties Jacques (age 17) and Mingus (age 2) get along well and are very easy to take care of - and both super affectionate!

Whoever applies, I do need you to meet with me in person in advance of the visit so local sitters will work out best, and will be considered with priority. We can set up a Zoom call to start, but an in-person meeting at least 2-3 weeks before start date will be required.

Also, Jacques is partial to females and only single people, not couples. :)

We would love you to be a mature pet lover with references and resume/CV ; with any additional background checks or police reports a plus.    

Responsibilities: Easy daily medication regimen for Jacques (just add to food), kitties receive 3 meals a day, scoop litter box 2x day, and play.  Water plants, pick up mail from lobby.

Our place: Clean, spacious 4th-floor elevator building. 2-BR  apt in an historic and safe part of upper Manhattan. Citibike nearby. 30 minutes to Columbus Circle. Dishwasher, AC, laundry, HD TV (HBO, Netflix etc), good wifi. There is a king-sized bed and a lovely spacious, well-equipped kitchen. Also a grand piano, and you are free to play it!

You: We look forward to meeting you! We ask that you be a non-smoker with references, and with a schedule where you can keep Jacques and Mingus company at least for a few hours every day. No partying, smoking, vaping, or drugging, and no overnight guests (unless discussed up front). 

Special consideration:
Understand that street parking in this neighborhood can be difficult. You may have to pay for a garage overnight. There is plenty of local public transportation, though.

Hope to meet you soon and that we will build a strong relationship for trips to come!
