My young daughter and I are out of town often on weekend trips and sometimes longer. We recently adopted a wee kitten who needs lots of attention and frequent feedings. We took her with us last weekend and she did great, but sometimes we go places that are too far for cats to comfortably travel to or aren't welcome! We are specifically in need of pet sitting from November But are also in need many weekends and holidays.
Ideally I would like to find someone who can come stay at the house on a fairly regular basis and build a bond with our feline family. Jack is a very affectionate siamese mix who doesn't do well without a body to sleep next to and his morning cuddles. Angel is our baby (born July 1, 2016) who needs a lot of interaction and play time. She also needs a warm body to cuddle up to (like she's doing to me right now!) and can't be left alone for long stretches of time yet. I would like to find a house/ pet sitter who would love to hang out in the house a lot (but not necessarily all the time!) and have a lot of interaction with the kitties. Angel is hilarious!
We also have a fish tank that is easy maintenance: feed twice a day. My daughter has created a pond in the back yard with tadpoles, fish, and frogs. No care should be required there.
And I would expect anyone staying to look after plants as necessary and generally to keep the house clean and tidy.
We live in a gated community that is very safe with great neighbors. Walking distance to two grocery stores and other amenities. Portland, Oregon is right across the river and the Columbia River Gorge, Cascade mountains, and ocean beaches are all within a couple of hour drive. Use of a car may be negotiated for the week we are in Hawai'i.
The house has two bedrooms plus an office/ playroom, and 2.5 baths. We have high speed wireless internet, Netflix, and Amazon Prime for your screen time needs.
