Two curious cats stand by a kitchen window, one on a coffee machine and the other on the counter, intently looking and reaching outside into the sunlight.
A blonde woman sits cross-legged on a wooden floor, gently cradling a cat in her arms. The setting is a cozy, warmly-lit living room.
This kitchen features gray cabinets, black countertops, various appliances, and utensils. There's a window with an outdoor view, houseplants, fruits, and books on the counter.
A hairless cat with large ears is sitting on top of a black espresso machine, surrounded by kitchen appliances on a dark countertop in a modern kitchen.
A boy is sitting at a glass table eating pizza. A curious white cat sits on the edge, watching him, possibly hoping for a bite.
A curious black and white cat with big yellow eyes peers through a modern metal chair, positioned in a bright room with wooden flooring and minimalist furniture.
A cozy living room with wooden floors, a modern fireplace, a circular cat exercise wheel, a corner sofa, large windows, art, books, and relaxing vibes.
This cozy bedroom features a comfortable bed, colorful decor, bookshelves filled with books, personal items, a small desk, wooden floor, and pastel green walls.
A cozy, well-lit study room with a large window, white desk, office chair, potted plants, bulletin board, hardwood floors, and green accent wall. Organized and inviting.
A woman leans in to kiss a hairless cat, possibly a Sphynx, in a modern kitchen. The cat looks curiously at her face.
A white cat is lying on a fluffy blanket, intently watching a television showing a close-up of red lips, in a cozy, plant-filled room.

    Description

    We are a family of four. Our daughter is now studying in Paris. Among other things, Dad is designer and hypnotherapist and Mom works for a language school. Our son is still in high school. Our house is large and Zurich can be reached by train in just over ten minutes. Shopping facilities are a ten-minute walk away. The lake is five minutes away. :-) We welcome loving people who are good with cats.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    As we are near by Zurich, one may profit from the City and its cultural surrounding. We offer to stay in our house in one of the rooms, fully profiting from the house and all within. We will pay for your meals in house for sure.

    Help

    We are looking for someone to look after our two cats while we are on holiday 6-22 February 2026. They are Devon Rex cats, who are very affectionate, have lots of character but are calm. As they are indoor cats, they do not go outside. During that period the person should keep the house clean and be with the cats, of course with all freedom to go visit Zürich, go shopping, walking in the woods or other. Just live in our house for to weeks and enjoy the stay.

    Our house has 2+1 floors and is large enough to feel comfortable. We offer one room to sleep, there are three bathrooms and a big kitchen too. Enogh for one person by far. The neighbourhood is quiet and the train station is a 10-minute walk away. Of course, our babysitters have a room when they are here.
