We are looking for a responsible house sitter/sitters to take care of our three cats, our house and our garden.

The cats are called Signe, Soya and Sigrid. They are outdoor and indoor cats. They are fairly low maintenance, but of course require food, water, cuddles and care. 

Our home is a typical Swedish family home, ie a detached house in a quiet neighbourhood about 25 minutes walk from the city center. There are four bedrooms, a kitchen, a livingroom, a dining room and 1,5 baths (+ extra shower in the basement).

We live in the city of Kalmar, a beautiful place by the Baltic Sea. Kalmar is a town with a proud history and an impressive castle. There are a couple of good museums, a nice city park, a marina, shops, boutiques, cafés and  restaurants. You can find beaches and places to swim all along the coast. It is easy to get around by bike, but there are also bus stops not far from the house. 

Next to Kalmar, is the island Öland - one of Sweden's top summer destinations. You can go there by car, bus or ferry. Öland is a haven for people who like beaches, cute villages, art, interesting flora and birdwatching.

If you would like to help us and see our part of Sweden - please contact us!

What a fantastic time we had house and catsitting in Kalmar. Ulrika and Martin were so welcoming (house/cat instructions and suggestions were excellent and ongoing communication was great), their house is very modern, beautiful and we felt very comfortable while staying. Location was also amazing (very quiet neighborhood with lovely neighbors) – not in the city center, but you could pretty much walk anywhere within 30-40 minutes. We also were able to use our hosts’ bikes, so it was a breeze to go anywhere, inclusive of several supermarkets and shops nearby. We took full advantage of the beautiful summer weather and foraged various berries in the woods throughout the city.

Their 3 kitties were such a pleasure to take care of – we loved observing their three completely different personalities and their interactions; all three were very self-reliant so we had plenty of opportunities to go and explore quaint and unique Kalmar and its surroundings, inclusive of Öland. Local public transportation is very good and we could get around a bit further with ease. Kalmar Stadsfest was a marvelous finish to our wonderful time!

Thank you Ulrika and Martin for hosting us – we loved Kalmar!

I had the pleasure of staying in Kalmar taking care of 3 mainly outdoor cats. Ulrika and Martin were marvelous hosts. When I arrived, the bedroom I was staying in had linens, different weight comforters and closet/drawer space for me. Their home looked like it came out of a magazine. The cats were busy enjoying their summer time weather outside. Sigrid and Soya would come and snuggle for a bit but Signe hurriedly ate and then ran back outside. It was a very pleasant stay and I would stay again.
