*Help wanted from 19 to 27 December 2024*
Hi! I am Carla, a chilean-italian living in Leiden, The Netherlands, with my beautiful cat "Amore".
I travel from time to time, therefore, I need someone who can look after my cat and plants.
Amore is 2 years old, very curious and willing to explore different things. He goes out in the common terrace of my building. As I do not have direct access to it, it is important that someone can open the door and let him in/out. He is very cuddly, chilled and does his own thing when being outside. He normally stays there 2 or 3 hours in the morning and evening. In the warm summer days, he likes being outside most of the time.
During your stay you can get to know the amazing city of Leiden, do a bike ride, and enjoy the nearby cities of Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. There is a beach 30 minutes away from Leiden (Katwijk).
I can provide accommodation for 1 or 2 people. I live in a small open loft apartment, 5 minutes biking from the station, and 1 minute away from supermarket, city center, bars, etc.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Leiden is an amazing city, you can learn how it is to live amongst the dutch, ride a bike through the center and enjoy the spring time in The Netherlands.
I come from Santiago de Chile, a very busy city, and living here improved my quality of life a 100%. Maybe you will feel it as well.
Help
Main tasks would be:
- Watering plants
- Feed and pet/play with my cat
- Stay in my apartment every night, so Amore has company
- Let Amore out in the common terrace in the morning (9 am) and afternoon (6 pm). If you are home during the day would also would be nice to do so.
- Maybe change the litter box sand, but as he goes outside, normally there is no need to do so
Other things that would be appreciated:
- If you are talented with home repairs, and have time, there are some small fixes to be done around the apartment
- Anything that you might feel inspired with!

Accommodation
The apartment can host up to two people. It is a 34sqm open loft apartment in the center of Leiden.
The first floor has the recently renovated bathroom, open kitchen area, living room with cozy sofa, smart tv, and a desk. The second floor is the bedroom, where there is a 1.40 x 2.00 m bed, two sofas, a tv, and lots of books related to personal development and spirituality, in english and spanish.
The cat has a scratching pole in both floors, and a little bed upstairs. His food is next to the kitchen, and his litter box in the bathroom.
What else ...
There are several bars with live music, museums and cinemas in Leiden. Everything is walking distance, but you will also get access to my bike.
The city is very well connected with almost everywhere in The Netherlands. Trains run every hour during night time, if you feel like having a fun night in Amsterdam or Rotterdam.
