Our requirements:
The most important aspect of this job is taking care of our senior adult female cat. She is a long-haired cat who is very sweet and social and gets very lonely without someone here to take care of her. She is a very easy to care for cat so long as you are willing to give her the attention she needs and be gentle with her. She eats dry food only, she requires no medication, and her litter box is automatically cleaned, so this really is very simple so long as you are a caring cat person. Because of our cat's long hair, the carpet needs to be vacuumed regularly (at least 1-2 times a week). We need someone to feed our fish once a week, take in the mail daily and sign for packages if they arrive. Other than that, just keeping the house tidy and clean is about all that is needed.
Our home:
Our spacious 3bed/2bath apartment is located in the beautiful, safe and quiet town of Belmont, next door to a nature preserve where deer roam in view. We have a very large screened in balcony which is perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing, with a pleasant view of the Belmont hills. Belmont is about 25 miles south of San Francisco and 25 miles north of San Jose, which makes it convenient to anywhere in the Bay Area. Around the corner we have a large shopping center with a Starbucks, grocery store, dry cleaner, Jamba Juice, bagel shop, post office & UPS store, Subway and other convenient amenities. A car is necessary to get around in this area.
