Needs and animals

Pet-sitting | Animals with specific needs | 2 Cats

We have two cats; both need to be fed twice a day, their water bowl kept fresh and their litter box cleaned out. Nova is 10 years old and very sweet, and Finch is 2 years old and full of energy! He takes steroids for a mild skin condition that just gets placed in his food every other day. Other than that, cuddles and playtime as much as you want! They're very affectionate animals.

Additional information about these dates

House

We live in a two-bedroom (we use one as an office) apartment in a classic tenement-style building in the New Town of Edinburgh. It's recently refurbished and full of Christmas decorations at the moment! The apartment itself is nice and cosy, with a full-sized bathroom and bathtub, a double bed and an open-plan living room/kitchen.

Our home is small but we take great care in making it a comfortable and cosy place to spend time. We're home birds when not travelling so have plenty of books and board games to keep you entertained.

Leith Walk is a bustling part of the city, filled with quirky coffee shops and vintage stores. The local restaurants boast all sorts of cuisine and there are about 5 pubs within two blocks of our front door! Less than 15 minutes walk up the hill you'll find George Street and Prince's Street, as well as the St James shopping centre and the main theatre. Right now there are the bustling Christmas markets for a nice evening out, the whole city is decked out for the holidays. A wee bit further is the wonderful old town with the castle and a million small lanes to explore. We live right along the tram route and most main bus routes pass us as well, so getting out and exploring is easy.

Edinburgh is a gorgeous city filled to the brim with cobbled streets, hidden cafés and packed bars. There are plenty of tourist attractions you'll find on the top 10 lists; like the castle and whiskey tours! We also love the ghost tours in the hidden vaults under the city, as well as just wandering the streets and getting lost in the history that can be found in every nook and cranny. A little further afield you'll find hiking in the Pentland hills or strolls along the beaches that surround Edinburgh. With the central train station just 20 minutes walk from the house, day trips to Glasgow or further north are always a possibility too!
