    Aachen is a medieval town with traces of Charles the Great. You will be able to learn about the city's history on your own.
    Before and after my absence I will be happy to show you places and spend time together if wished.

    From 8th September to 15th October I will be away so I need a kind and VERY reliable cat-loving person who is experienced with the peculiarities of cats. I will not be at home for those 5 weeks!
    Shiva is an old cat who just moved in from a shelter. She ist used to staying at home, so she mustn't get outside except if she wants sit on the balcony.

    As I do not want her to stay alone with just someone to hop in to feed her and clean the cat toilet I try to find someone for her to talk to and just being around. Of course this doesn't mean you have to stay in all day! There is so much to see in and so much lovely nature around Aachen you need to explore.
    This is the perfect job for someone who needs a short break from other people during travels around Europe.

    You will have a lot of time to go for walks, make small day trips to the Nethetlands or Belgium nearby. Shopping, Cafés, Bars and Restaurants. The town center is a 10 min bus ride away. There is my eBike for you to use if you like. Jogging and walking paths directly in front of the door.
    Important to me: you will have a lot of time to yourself. Therefore I expect proper taking care of the job. Keep the flat clean while you use it, do not forget to water the plants and keep a good eye on Shiva. Fair?
