    March 25 to April 1st - agreed with Sophie from Australia


    Hi everybody! I'm 64 and I live in a beautiful town in the North of Italy (Padova), I work many hours a day and I need help taking care of my cat when I leave for a short holiday.

    I speak English, French and German and I'm studying Chinese, Spanish, Russian. I could play the piano but I forgot, if my co-worker can play it it would be nice listening him/her playing. I've a lovely black cat which name is Pilù.
    I don't accept smokers or people using any kind of drugs or alcohol.

    I offer accommodation, private bedroom and private bathroom. What I ask is to feed him twice a day and spending some times with him and the night at home (no friends at home are allowed) in order he doesn't feel alone.

    I already hosted a very nice and polite girl from Canada (10 days) and a very friendly woman from China (3 weeks) and recently a fantastic American woman (one week)

    Now I'm looking for a no smoking woman disposal to take care of my cat from March 27 (arriving 2 days earlier to know each other) to April 1st 2025.

    I'll leave for a short holiday at the end of June and I already have made an agreement for that period with a nice German lady (Regina).

    I can't host more than one person so pls no friends or couples.
    About Padova: The town is UNESCO city, so perfect for art and history lovers, 20 minutes by train to Venice and no more than one hour to Vicenza, Verona, Treviso and Bologna.
