Hi there,
We have a lovely 3 bedroom Edwardian house within level walking distance of Newbury town centre and are looking for a housesitter(s)/ catsitter for the last week of January Newbury is a lovely, friendly market town in Berkshire. We are very near to the Kennet & Avon canal - just a few minutes walk from our house.
The house is warm and comfortable and has all normal amenities such as excellent wifi which works throughout the house and garden.
Newbury is located around 60 miles West of London ( 1 hour by train) and 25 miles south of Oxford. The railway station is a 20 minute walk from our house or a 5 minute drive.
We're looking for a kind, caring person primarily to keep an eye on our special, but geriatric cat Gordon. He's now aged an amazing 20 1/2 and is still in relatively good health. He sleeps the majority of the time but when he wakes up he is prone to loud yowling ( as he is a bit deaf and gets confused).
But he still goes outside for a wander and doesn't need a litter box.
He enjoys his food but eats little and often so needs to be fed a few times a day.
Other than looking after Gordon there are no special requirements - just keeping the house clean and tidy.
You need to love cats, put up with some cat noise and ideally, if you've cared for older cats before that would be great!
Do let us know if you have any questions!
