🐈🐈‍⬛🍁 Cozy Fall Moments in Essen

Description

Hello, everyone! For my very first house-sitting gig, I’m looking for 1–2 animal-loving women (up to age 50) who would like to take care of my two sweet, healthy male cats, Yuji and Aki, from October 27 to November 16, 2026 (about 3 weeks —the dates may change by 1–2 days)—to pamper my two sweet, healthy cats, Yuji and Aki—in exchange for a gorgeous attic apartment in southern Essen near Lake Baldeney! 🐱 The boys: - Yuji (Siamese-Ragdoll mix): Curious, super-soft fur, a bit headstrong—but a pro at cuddling who’ll wake you up on the blanket in the morning ✨ - Aki (my “farm cat”): At first shy under the couch, but with patience (and treats!) he’ll become a loyal companion wherever you go. ❤️ Your responsibilities: - Spend time with them: Both need daily attention—playing, cuddling, and just being there. - Feeding: There’s an automatic dry food dispenser, but they need wet food at least twice a day (unfortunately, once very early in the morning—unless you’re a heavy sleeper—otherwise no set times) and fresh water. - Grooming: Clean the litter boxes and brush the furballs as needed. - Photo duty: I’d love to see daily photos or updates—that way I can miss the boys even while I’m on vacation 😊 ❌ No men, children, or other pets 💬 Let’s get to know each other via DM or video call—and please arrive one day early so I can show you everything at your own pace! Interested or want more info? Then get in touch—I’m looking forward to meeting you and having a wonderful time together! 😍

What's included

✔️ Apartment: A sun-drenched, well-maintained attic apartment (2nd floor) with a secure balcony—perfect for relaxing moments with a view of the golden autumn trees. ✔️ Workspace: Working from home is possible—a home office with a docking station, large monitor, and fast Wi-Fi. ✔️ Fitness: For fitness enthusiasts, there’s a barbell, weights, mats, and an online Zumba subscription—or you can go for a jog or bike ride in the nearby forest or by the lake. ✔️ Pure nature: Lake, forest, and bike paths just a 10-minute walk away—ideal for fall walks or bike rides. ✔️ Shopping: Aldi, Edeka, Rewe, bakeries, and more are within a 10-minute walk in the “little village.” ✔️ Explore the Ruhr region: I’d be happy to put together some personal recommendations for day trips in the area—from cozy cafés to cultural highlights! ✔️ Transportation: Free parking in front of the building, quick access to highways, and two nearby bus stops (direct connection to the main train station and downtown). ✔️ Neighborhood: A quiet, upscale area with great neighbors—the south-facing balcony is perfect for relaxing while enjoying the view of nature. 🔍 What you’ll bring: ✅ A love for animals, reliability, and experience with cats—the boys should feel right at home with you! ✅ Care and tidiness—the apartment should look just as you found it when you leave. ✅ A bit of a green thumb—my plants would appreciate a little water now and then. ✅ Consideration—a quiet, non-noisy demeanor, since the neighbors work. ✅ Flexibility—my parents might stop by from time to time, by arrangement. ✅ Tech-savvy—familiarity with smart TVs (Fire Stick), air fryers, and similar devices is a plus. ✅ Security deposit & lease—we’ll sign a short-term lease (including personal information and home insurance policy number). The security deposit will, of course, be refunded if everything is in order. ✅ Non-smoker—no e-cigarettes either.
