    Description

    We are looking for a cat/house sitter for 6 weeks in the summer.

    We live in downtown Rimouski! Grocery store, pharmacy, waterfront are all within walk-in distance. The train and bus stations are also nearby.

    We have a 14 y.o. cat who's very sweet. He mostly wants to spend his time outside in the summer. Also, he needs daily scratches and love.

    We have not yet hosted with Workaway. However, we are active hosts with other platforms. One of us was on other platforms as a host back in the days for about 10 years.

    =============
    We are a couple. One of us might come back on some weekends - to be confirmed.
    We are looking for someone June 15-August 1. Dates are little bit flexible.
