We are a couple of travelers and animal lovers looking for one or two people to watch over our home and 2 hilarious cats in Kansai, Japan.
We live near the northern coast of Hyogo in a small town surrounded by mountains and organic rice patties. 20 mins to the hot spring town of Kinosaki Onsen and 30 mins to beautiful beaches. Snorkeling and surfing are popular activities. Those interested in Japanese history and culture will find plenty to see in the area and there is interesting geology and biodiversity.
Our home is spacious with traditional Japanese touches and western amenities. Unlimited high-speed connection perfect for fellow remote workers. It includes a gallery and glass workshop as well as a home office. We have started a small vegetable and herb garden and have a few fruit trees in addition to the native flowers and grasses. Some yard work may be required. We welcome sitters with gardening experience who could share their knowledge.
Our two adopted tabbys are twin brother and sister and about 6 years old. Kiki and Tanu are very playful, vocal, cuddly, and curious. However, they have become quite shy around strangers. They are healthy, have had blood tests, vaccines, and are fixed. They are mostly indoor cats.
Those with experience caring for cats are preferred. Some Japanese ability a plus.
Thank you for considering our housesit. We look forward to learning more about you!
