Description
We are seeking a highly patient, experienced, and dedicated cat person to look after our two sweet but somewhat complicated cats, Polly (5) and Tilly (3), for one week.
ð The Cat Care: Patience and Routine is Key
The cats are used to having company as I work from home, so we are ideally looking for a sitter who also works from home and can provide a calm, consistent presence.
Polly (5): Our nervous girl. She needs a patient approach to gain her trustâtreats help tremendously!
Tilly (3): Confident but still settling in with Polly.
The Routine: We need a sitter willing to manage some daily “cat juggling” between the upstairs and downstairs areas. This is to ensure safe, supervised daily introductions to help them gradually adjust to each other. Detailed notes will be provided, but a flexible and patient attitude is essential.
Feeding: Primarily breakfast and dinner, with treats provided in between. Detailed notes on food types and amounts for each cat will be left.
Litter: Two litter boxes require daily scooping and topping up with litter as needed.
Updates: A quick text or photo update every few days would be appreciated.
ð¡ Your Home for the Week
Enjoy a relaxing stay in our very tidy, modern two-bedroom townhouse in a private, quiet part of Bayview.
Amenities: Great kitchen, bathroom with bathtub and shower, washing machine, heat pump/air conditioning, and unlimited fiber high-speed internet.
Work Space: A dedicated home office featuring a standing desk.
Outdoor: A lovely little backyard that is a beautiful evening sun trap, perfect for morning coffee while watching the TÅ«Ä« in the bush reserve we back onto.
Local Area: The Manuka and Lynn reserves are very close. A short walk to the end of the street offers a lovely bay view where you can sit and watch the water. The neighbours are respectful and quiet.
Parking: One allocated parking stall is available in a shared lot.
Other Light Duties: It would be appreciated if the rubbish and recycling bins could be taken out on Thursday morning for collection.
We look forward to hearing from compassionate and responsible sitters!
ð³ Exploring the Bayview Area
Bayview (Auckland 0629) is a lovely, quiet, and leafy suburb on the North Shore, known for its friendly, community-oriented atmosphere.
Nature at Your Doorstep: The area is a haven for nature lovers. You will be right next to native bush reserves (like Manuka and Lynn reserves) which are perfect for short, peaceful walks and enjoying the native birdlife, including the beautiful TÅ«Ä«.
Coastal Views: A short walk to the end of the street provides a picturesque bay view, offering a nice spot to sit, relax, and watch the water.
Convenience: For amenities, Bayview is situated close to larger hubs like Glenfield and Birkenhead, meaning shopping centres, local shops, and cafes are just a short drive away.
Quiet Living: The home is nestled in a fairly private spot with quiet, respectful neighbours, ensuring a peaceful stay that is perfect for someone working from home.
It offers the relaxed pace of suburban life with easy access to all the North Shore has to offer.
