    Description

    Hi! We are a family that lives in Gausdal, just outside of Lillehammer. We are away most of the time during summer (July) and we are looking for someone to take care of our cat. If you also like to do some easy gardening, that is a plus :)

    Gausdal is a rural community but with short proximity to Lillehammer. Gausdal is perfect if you like hiking as we are close to the mountains and areas like Langsua, Skeikampen and Hafjell. If you like to get around you should have a car. The famous mountain areas like Rondane and Jotunheimen are also within reach from here.

    Lillehammer is a cosy city with cafes, bars and shops.

    Our cat is social and affectionate. She is very calm and sleeps a lot.
