House-sit and care for our cat in São Paulo, Brazil

Details

  Description

  We will be travelling in November and are looking for someone who can stay at our house and take care of Blanca, our cat, while we are away.
  
  
  Hi! We are Lucas and Melina, and we live with Blanca, our cat, in a house in the Ipiranga neighborhood of São Paulo. We both spent quite a lot of time backpacking when we were younger and had many experiences of hospitality and cultural exchange along the way. That is why we like the idea of now being able to host travelers ourselves and, in some way, give back a little of what we experienced.

  Olá! Somos Lucas e Melina e vivemos com Blanca, nossa gata, em uma casa no bairro do Ipiranga, em São Paulo. Nós dois viajamos de mochila durante bastante tempo quando éramos mais jovens e tivemos muitas experiências de hospitalidade e intercâmbio pelo caminho. Por isso, gostamos da ideia de poder agora receber viajantes e, de alguma maneira, retribuir um pouco dessas experiências.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We enjoy meeting people from different places and learning about their experiences, languages and cultures. Whenever possible, we would be happy to spend some time together before or after our trip, share a meal or a conversation, and help our guest get to know São Paulo beyond the usual tourist routes. We can also share recommendations about the city, Brazilian culture and everyday life in São Paulo. At the same time, since we will be away for most of the stay, this experience will be quite independent and will suit someone who enjoys having their own space and exploring the city on their own.

  Help

  She is very calm, affectionate and easy to care for. The help required is quite simple: feeding her, making sure she always has fresh water, cleaning her litter box, and taking care of the basic day-to-day upkeep of the house. There are no other major tasks involved. We are mainly looking for someone responsible and comfortable with cats who would enjoy staying in São Paulo while keeping Blanca company and looking after the house during our absence.

  Accommodation

  The Workawayer will stay in our house in Ipiranga and will have their own bedroom. The house has two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and two bathrooms, as well as Wi-Fi. While we are away, they will be free to use the common areas and the kitchen, so they can cook and organise their daily life independently. We would simply ask them to treat the house with the same care they would their own. The house is in a residential area of São Paulo, with public transport, supermarkets, cafés, bars and other services within easy reach.
