Hi,
We are a Canadian / Malaysian couple (I am from Victoria, BC) who has been living in Singapore for almost 20 years. We have three young kids that we take back to Canada each summer for school holidays and we recently added a kitten to our family. When we are in Canada from late June until mid-August, we need somebody to come house sit for us and, most importantly, look after our kitten and give him some daily affection as he is so used to getting that now from our family.
We live in a large, comfortable bungalow with pool and garden and you would have the ensuite guestroom with a double bed. There would not be much to do other than care for the kitten (and he’s just a normal little kitten, very affectionate) and enjoy the house. We also have a normal sized fish aquarium and the fish get a little feed twice a day and we will show you how to change the water filter (which takes less than 5 minutes and would only need to be done twice while we are away). If you came a day or two early, we could show you the routine (and we have lots of space, so if you want to leave some things there for a few weeks at the end and go travel the region after we are back, that's ok too). That's it! The garden and pool are cared for by contractors. The house is very well located. It is in a quiet cul-de-sac but it’s a one minute walk on a footpath next to the house to a little village area called Siglap where you’ll find lots of little shops, a good range of restaurants and excellent bus connections. It’s a safe, clean, easy neighbourhood. We are also a 5-10 minute walk down to the East Coast Park which is a beautiful waterfront park with beaches, resataurants and a bike path that runs the southern width of Singapore's East Coast.
If this location and timing is of interest to you, and you would like to know more, please get in touch. We are hoping for somebody or a couple that is non-smoking, does not intend to invite other guests to our home and who has some existing reviews on this site.
