We are a retired couple, sharing our home with 4 Birman cats. We are looking for a reliable, mature, non-smoking couple/person to look after them for 8 weeks in February - April. We live on the edge of the Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire in the UK. We have a 4 bedroom/2bathroom detached house with garden mostly laid to lawn.
Our Home & Location
We have a modern 4 bedroom/2 bathroom detached house, with all modern conveniences, including Sky TV and unlimited high speed wi-fi. Although it is a village location, we have a Premier shop within very short walking distance (2 minutes) and a Co-op just round the corner. Plus 3 pubs, a chemist, hairdresser, doctor, dentist, post office, fish & chip shop, Tandoori restaurant/takeaway and sandwich shop. Large Tesco and Aldi about 2 miles away. Bus stop close by for Cheltenham, Gloucester, Swindon etc. Good location for touring the Cotswolds, easy access to Bath and Bristol. There is a golf course close by and various water sport facilities at the Cotswold Water Park, also a gym. If you have a car, that would be useful for touring the area, but if you do not drive, the bus service is quite good.
Responsibilities & Pets
We need someone to look after the cats in the same way that we do. They are all indoor cats and eat mostly dry food, so are very easy to look after. Although, they are all seniors now, they are fit and well and don't need any medication or extra care. I don't think anything much will need to be done in the garden at this time of year, but if you are a keen gardener, feel free to potter! We would appreciate you keeping the house clean and tidy and putting out the bins when necessary.
