Needs and animals

Pet-sitting | 2 Cats

Primarily, we need someone to look after our two adorable cats, Angus and Humphrey. They are easy going and generally fall in love with all of their cat sitters. Angus is a Norwegian Forest cat and is the furriest cuddliest cat I've ever met. So, they just need food, water, litter tray tidying and lots of cuddles! I also have some outdoor plants to water, and would generally like the house to be kept clean and tidy while we're away.

We are taking out annual vacation to go back to the UK from Oslo, where we live, and need someone to keep our two friendly and cuddly cats company, and also to pick our raspberries!

House

Our house is in a green and peaceful area on the western edge of Oslo. As well as being next to a beautiful wood full of raspberry plants, it has direct access to trails that lead into a mountain- nature reserve area (Kolsåstoppen). There is a rock climbing area immediately adjacent to our neighbourhood. One wonderful feature of our area is that there is -no- through traffic. Cars (while they can be driven to the house for loading and unloading) are parked at the end of the street. Children play freely in the roads and there are traffic free bike paths and trails all over the place, including to at least three playgrounds. This is an amazing oka e to be a child! In addition to the nature reserve, ten minutes by bike takes you to the Bærums Verk craft village, with cafes, artisan shops and the beginning of an almost limitless open space for running, cycling and skiing. Our house is 15 minutes walk to the subway (Kolsås) or five minutes to the bus (åsbraten). We have a shed of bicycles (including an electric cargo bike) to make that quicker! Last but not least, our house has great …

Oslo js a world class city, with a unique combination of nature, clean living. sparkling seaside and cosmopolitan attractions, For us (we are nature loving climate scientists) the combination of nature, trails. car free living, and sustainable values are its major attractions, I won’t summarise the cultural highlights of Oslo, as a basic internet search would be much more effective, but suffice to say that the TBahn, which solidly runs every 15 minutes until 1am, can allow access to all of this (including amazing days out on the ferry system to the islands in the fjord!) Then unwind in green and peaceful Lokenhavna! (our phenomenally low traffic neighbourhood…)

Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, France - September 2019

Rosie, Ben et leur jeune fils nous ont accueillis avec convivialité et simplicité dans leur vaste maison dans la périphérie de Toulouse. Ils nous ont confié leur maison et Angus et Humphrey. Les deux chats témoignent de caractères différents mais pareillement adorables et c'est à regret que nous les avons quittés. Accessoirement, nous avons tout particulièrement apprécié le calme de la demeure et la fraîcheur du jardin.
