    Description

    Hi! We are Nick and Fabs, a Swiss/English couple living in Switzerland. We are travelling to New Zealand mid December to mid January and are therefore looking for a housesitter for our two cats Evie and Steve. The cats are two 1.5-year-old kitties who love being around people. They enjoy their time roaming around outside, but also appreciate people being home. Steve is the cuddly one who will sleep on anyone's lap, and Evie is the more curious and adventurous one.

    We live in a small village right by Lake Lucerne. We love our apartment, it is modern and has a big balcony overlooking the lake and the mountains. There are some ski resorts nearby, too. It is definitely a romantic area to spend Christmas!

    Help

    We mainly don't want to leave our two cats alone for a whole month. They are pretty self-sustained, but having someone to come home to them, to feed them their wet food (dry food is automatic) and occasionally do the litter box would be brilliant.

    Accommodation

    We have two double bedrooms that can be used for your stay. Unfortunately, one bedroom has the cat flap in it, so this is only for people who are happy with cats going in and out of their room.

    We love our cats and our apartment, so we hope you will use our apartment the way you would want your own place to be looked after :).

    Profile photo of Steve

    Steve (1 year)

    Steve is the cuddly one, but also the weird one. He loves sleeping on people and being cuddled, sometimes he sleeps on his back with his paws stretched out and looks like a right weirdo. He has a lovely personality and loves people. And he loves food, he is sometimes a bit cheeky and steals Evie's food.

    Profile photo of Evie

    Evie (1 year)

    Evie is Steve's sister. She is curious and playful and loves being around people. Sometimes, Steve's willingness to play gets a bit much for her, so she finds a quiet place to sleep, or she goes outside to explore.
