We need a house sitter

South West - Devon

Jason and Heather

Large terraced house 5 minutes walk from the sea - although it is in central Torquay the house is in a quiet cul de sac. We have four cats and one snake, some of the cats are wary of strangers initially but will warm up to you and the snake needs minimal intervention, if any. You would mainly be topping the cats' food and water up and attending to the litter trays, the rest of the time you could spend enjoying Torquay and the surrounding area!

We will be leaving at approximately 7pm on Wednesday the 30th and arriving back at about 9pm on Tuesday the 13th but we are okay with the cats being left for half a day or so, therefore arriving on Thursday the 1st or leaving earlier on the Tuesday is absolutely fine. We have a keysafe so that you can let yourself in and we will leave comprehensive instructions. We are also happy to talk on Whatsapp or have a video call beforehand (or a face to face meeting if you're more local)

If you are arriving by public transport on the 30th we would be happy to pick you up from the train or coach station (both are about a mile from the house) - we would do so on the 13th but will almost certainly be back too late. Please note that parking is *very* limited close to the house, if you are bringing a car we can advise where to park it but the main on street parking place is approximately 15 minutes walk away up a very steep hill. There is a car park opposite the house which costs £25 for a week, please note this is at your own expense as are any other costs incurred in getting here.

We look forward to hearing from you!

We spent a good week exploring the Torquay area. The house is well placed near the centre of town and it was easy to walk to places. The animals were fine, although a couple of the cats were wary of new people.

MEGAN (Dec 2023 - 3 nights)
An enjoyable sit in a central position. 4 lively pets with Luci taking charge of me from beginning to end. Jason gave me full arrival info House up above by multi-storey mid way between plenty of shops and the beach. Several bus routes serving large areas of South Devon.
