Looking for a non-smoking house sitter to care for our home and a laid back, 7 year old, Maine Coon mix cat. She requires daily cleaning and filling of her food and water dishes, brushing, treats and some play time. Her litter box is an electronic self-scooping box that only requires occasional checking and a complete cleaning just once every 2-3 weeks.
The house is a relatively new 2 bed/2 bath home in a quiet residential area. The lanai in the back has a hammock and a small table, with chairs, to overlook the grassy back yard area. There is Spectrum Cable/TV, central heat & air, a washer/dryer, and the usual kitchen appliances (gas stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator). Plants on the lanai will need to be watered occasionally, but the Homeowner’s Association covers irrigation and lawncare. Trash should be put out for pickup twice a week and the mail brought in daily, except Sunday.
Location is on the Gulf side of Florida, approximately 90 minutes north of Tampa and about 20 minutes inland from the Florida Nature Coast (Homosassa, Crystal River, etc.). Hiking, boating, fishing, and great dining opportunities are readily available. The garage will be available for your car and storage of any small recreational equipment you might choose to bring. RVs, trailers, large trucks and boats are not allowed on the property due to Homeowner’s Association rules.
The cat likes her peace and quiet and spends most of her day sleeping. You will have plenty of time to read, write, watch TV, work from home or go out and about to enjoy our “usually” sunny and warm Florida Nature Coast area.
The sitting start date of November 3rd, 2024 is firm. The end date of January 3rd, 2025 is flexible.
