    Hi, Im Kirsten and I have just moved into an old house beside the seafront at Bray, Co. Wicklow. I live here with my partner and our recently adopted cat called Pancake.

    I'd like someone to stay for one month to take care of Pancake the cat while we are away. Like most cats, he's fairly easy to look after and just needs to make sure he's fed daily and gets some affection . Pancake is shy at first but once he knows you he is very friendly. He's also housetrained with a cat flap, so no litter trays!

    Accommodation

    We have just moved into an old Victorian house. Unfortunately, it's did not come with a great heating system and its a little dated (we plan to renovate). The living room does however have a wood burning stove and there is a gas portable heater for the bedroom. So you would need to be ok with this setup during your stay.

    On the bright side there is Wifi, TV, Netflix, Comfy Double bed with brand new mattress and you have the house to yourself with a great location right beside the seafront. You are also welcome to help yourself to any food items in the kitchen.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We're a 4 min walk away Bray train and bus station so lots to see and do and easy to get around. You can visit Bray head, neighbouring Dalkey or Greystones, sea swim or visit the local saunas.

    We have a parking space for a campervan so they are more than welcome. However a caravan and car would not fit sorry.

    Pancake

    Pancake is roughly 5 years old and was adopted by us in Jul 25. He was found living in a coal shed with a broken jaw but thanks to a cat rescue he's now all fixed up and rules the roost in his new home.
