Notes
I have an older cat that needs some care from guests. She's 13.5 years old and quite friendly. She eats canned fish twice a day (generally about 12 hours apart) and gets a tiny bit of ointment in her ears at the same time she eats. She sleeps most of the day and evening, rouses early and waits until you wake up.
I have a cleaner/housekeeper who comes every Monday late afternoon for 4 hours. She's been with me for 20 years and manages the apartment's upkeep and housekeeping.

As I have a cat, anyone that stays will need to cat sit too, please. It entails feeding her twice a day and putting ointment inside her ears when you feed her. She loves company and is quite friendly. She is 13 years old and sleeps most of the day and night.
My place is not available before mid-October 2024, but please feel free to message me about your plans. Even if my calendar doesn't show availability, I have quite a lot of flexibility as I can work remotely.
