🏡 Whole House Available — Colchester | Caretaker/Housesitter Wanted | 6 Months
We're two cat parents heading off on the trip of a lifetime and we're looking for someone special to look after our home and our boys while we're away.
The house is a lovely semi-detached property in Colchester with a garden, driveway parking, spare bedroom(s), modern kitchen and fast broadband. It's yours entirely for 6 months in exchange for reduced rent and caring for our two cats.
About Odin and Zeus 🐱🐱
Odin and Zeus are two magnificent Maine Coons — big, beautiful, and full of personality. They're indoor cats only and are used to lots of love and attention. We're looking for someone who genuinely understands indoor cats and appreciates how special they are. In return they will absolutely make your house a home.
What we're looking for:
— Someone who loves cats and has experience with indoor cats
— Reliable, responsible, and tidy
— Happy to send us the occasional update and photo (we will miss them enormously!)
— Available for the full 6 month period
What you get:
— A whole semi-detached house to yourself in Colchester
— Garden and private parking
— Modern kitchen and good broadband
— Significantly below market rent in exchange for cat care
— Two very handsome housemates
Colchester is a brilliant location — great transport links, close to the University of Essex, and easy access to London.
If this sounds like you, please get in touch with a little bit about yourself and your experience with cats. We want Odin and Zeus to be in the best possible hands.
