  Description

  [Dec 21, 2026 – Jan 11, 2027, flexible dates]
  
  Hello! ☺️
  I live in Malmö with my partner and our cat, Perle.
  We enjoy travelling, discovering new cultures and meeting people.
  Our home is located in Hyllie.
  It's well connected, just 6 minutes from Malmö city centre and around 25 minutes from Copenhagen.
  Shops, restaurants and a shopping mall centre are nearby.
  
  Perle is a sweet, gentle but shy cat who needs a little time to trust new people.
  We are looking for a responsible cat lover to care for her while we're on holiday.
  In return, you'll enjoy a comfortable home and the opportunity to explore Sweden and Denmark!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Malmö is a charming, multicultural Swedish city with beautiful parks, beaches, museums, cosy cafés and a lovely Scandinavian atmosphere.
  You could try :
  - Christmas at Tivoli, with beautiful lights, decorations and festive attractions until January 3rd.
  - Christmas fireworks at Tivoli on December 25th and 26th.
  - Malmö's New Year's Gala on December 30th and 31st.
  - New Year's Eve celebrations and fireworks in Copenhagen.
  - A special Viennese classical music evening in Malmö on January 5th.
  
  Of course, Perle's wellbeing remains our priority, especially during the New Year's celebrations, when fireworks may be stressful for animals.

  Help

  We're looking for a kind, gentle and caring person to look after our lovely cat, Perle, while we're away.
  
  Perle is sweet but quite shy, so she needs patience, affection and a calm, smoke-free home without loud noises.
  
  We'd love someone who can spend plenty of time with her every day. You're welcome to explore the area, but we'd prefer that she isn't left alone for more too long.
  
  Perle is the little queen of our home! She's allowed everywhere, including tables, kitchen countertops and our bedroom, and we'd like her usual habits to be respected.
  
  You'll simply need to feed her, give her fresh water, clean her litter box, play with her and keep her company.
  
  We'd really appreciate regular photos, videos and little updates! If she ever seems unwell, please contact us immediately and be prepared to take her to the vet if needed.
  
  Most importantly, we're looking for someone who will treat Perle with love, patience and care, just as we do.

  Accommodation

  We live in an apartment in Hyllie, a quiet neighbourhood in Malmö.
  
  You'll be sleeping on a sofa bed in our living room and will have access to the kitchen, bathroom, balcony, Wi-Fi and everything you need for a comfortable stay. You're welcome to cook and make yourself at home, but please note that food isn't provided.
  
  Our bedroom is our private space, so we kindly ask you to respect that. However, Perle is used to going everywhere in the apartment, including our bedroom, so the door needs to stay open for her at all times. You can of course pop in if you need to check on her, but please leave our personal belongings untouched.
  
  We also have a camera to keep an eye on Perle when nobody is home. We simply ask that you turn it on when you go out and off when you return. It's only there for Perle, not to monitor you.
  
  Apart from that, we just ask you to keep the apartment clean, tidy, no smoking and loud noises, and treat our home with care.
  
  We'd love for you to feel comfortable here and enjoy your stay, while making sure Perle feels just as happy and relaxed as she normally does.

  What else ...

  Our apartment is conveniently located in Hyllie, with excellent public transport connections. Malmö city centre is just a few minutes away by train, and Copenhagen is easily accessible via the Öresund Bridge. It's a great opportunity to explore both Sweden and Denmark!
  
  We have a few important house rules:
  
  - Non-smokers, no parties, no loud music or no overnight guests.
  - Please keep the apartment clean and respect our belongings.
  - Our bedroom is strictly private, although Perle must always have access to it.
  - Perle is an indoor cat, so please be extremely careful with doors, windows and the balcony.
  - Please don't leave Perle alone for extended periods. Short outings are absolutely fine, but we expect you to spend time at home with her every day.
  - The pet camera must remain connected and switched on whenever you leave the apartment.
  - Regular updates, photos and videos of Perle are very important to us.
  
  We are particularly looking for someone trustworthy, calm and genuinely passionate about cats.
  
  We would also love to arrange a video call beforehand to get to know each other and make sure we're a good match.
  
  We want you to enjoy your stay and explore the region while making sure Perle receives the love, attention and companionship she deserves.
