Hi! We are looking for someone to look after our house and 2 cats while we are away for about 2 weeks over the new year.
The girls (Hank and Lily) are typical cats who will just require fresh food, litter scooping, and some love. Hank, Lily, and I just moved in a couple of months, and so they will really appreciate having a gentle caretaker that will allow them to stay here and continue getting used to their new home. We've had quite a few visitors lately, and they've recently started a transdermal (rub it on their ears) anxiety med to help with the nerves of it. They usually don't mind getting a little ear massage, but if they seem too annoyed then I just skip a day.
The house is an adorable Tudor in a tranquil, leafy neighborhood. You'd be able to stay in the airy master bedroom or guest room, and there are a few great hangout spots in the house for work or entertainment--a bright office, an attic turned tea lounge, and a finished basement with home theater system.
The neighborhood is just about 3-5 miles from the happening areas of Pittsburgh (Shadyside, Oakland, Squirrel Hill, East Liberty, Cultural District) with fantastic museums and theaters, and bustling cafes, bars, and restaurants. It's easiest traversed with a car, and we'd have one for you to use if you don't come in your own.
The nice back patio can be used for smoking (but please no smoking in the house).
If you'd like to stay in our home and hang out with some entertaining kitties, please contact us! We look forward to meeting you,
Megan and Casi
