About this house sitting position in Rowville

Hello,
We are two mature cats Gingie & Abbie, our parents are going away again and we need someone to come look after us.
We are indoor cat's who have an outside enclosure to do our toileting in and if we are lucky our parents take us for walks in the backyard on a leash although we are not sure we will want to in winter.
Our house is comfortable with central heating, and has all you humans will need for a comfortable stay. We live in the outer suburbs of Melbourne not too far from the Dandenong Ranges.
For some reason the humans like to see birds in the garden so they would really love it if you could keep the bird baths topped up with water and an occasional clean as well as the buckets out the front for the dogs that pass by. Oh and if we don't get much rain please water the plants.
Our requirements are that you love cats, one of us isn't a big lap sitter but can be a bit loud as they are deaf, they also need a daily tablet in their food, the other one really likes to have a snuggly lap and the possibility of sleeping on your bed.
If you work from home that would be a bonus so that we can wander out for an occasional treat.
Although we have got a bus stop across the road, we feel you would need a car.
We like to be fed at regular times so a shift worker is probably not the best for us.
We like to meet potential sitters beforehand so that we can access if we are right for each other.
Sorry but we find children a bit too much.
We have had many sitters over the years and even though we prefer our parents not to go away we have been happy with the people we have met.

“Thank you Maxine and Rob for welcoming me into your beautiful, clean, peaceful home; I had a wonderful time taking care of Abbie and Gingie. 

 Gingie is such a snuggle bug, and Abbie is the sweetest girl, both of them were very easy to care for. 

 I want to thank you both for being so organised with everything, from the cats, to the kitchen, and the information book, it made my stay even more enjoyable.

 Looking out to your beautiful garden, seeing the birds, snuggling with Gingie, taking Abbie into the great outdoors, I feel like I’ve had a holiday!

 Thank you for taking care of me, and I hope our paths cross again. ”

“I loved this Housesit. Maxine was so friendly in all communications and gave me a tour of the house before heading off. Maxine’s home is very nice with a lovely backyard. The cats are sweet and easy to care for, Gingie especially is a big smoocher and a funny boy. Rowville is a beautiful leafy suburb with so many national parks at the doorstep, great location to spend some time. ”
