I'm super stressed because my regular pet sitter just moved away, so I'm looking for someone reliable to take care of my two cats, Leo and Gizmo, for a trip next month.
Thanks so much for considering this!
This is a first time posting here and I need someone for 10 days, starting on the 5th of January, in my condo near Mount Royal.
They are pretty easy cats, mostly needing their wet food served twice a day and their litter box scooped daily; you’d be responsible for managing their meds, too, as Leo needs a tiny pill mixed into his dinner.
The building has a secure key fob entry, which I will provide, and since it is winter here in Calgary, you’d need to make sure you bring separate indoor shoes to keep the apartment clean from the snow and slush.
I’m aiming for two visits a day—once in the morning around 8 AM and again in the evening around 7 PM—but the exact times are a bit flexible if you have other commitments.
I’d like to hire someone who has experience with shy cats as Gizmo tends to hide under the bed for the first few days when I’m gone.
I also need you to water my small collection of houseplants (just 8 pots total) and bring in the mail.
My budget for this whole job is around $300, but I’m open to discussing rates depending on your background.
* You’ll need to send me a photo and short update with every evening visit.
I have a car and can travel 15-20 miles to drop off the keys beforehand if that makes things easier.
