  I travel a lot for work, so I am looking for a trusted pet/house sitter for my two cats Chulo and Alby. Both boys are very friendly and love to snuggle up. The cats love company but feel free to go out and explore the city.
  
  Open to singles, friends or couples. Free accommodation, with the house to yourself, in exchange for pet sitting. Everyone welcome LGBTQ+ friendly.
  
  Stay in a 4 bed, 4 bathroom Thai townhouse. The house includes a brand new, fully equipped kitchen (rarity in Thailand), open plan living room, open plan dining room, ensuite bedrooms. The house offers simple but comfortable living. There are air conditioners in the bedrooms and fans in the living areas. One bedroom has a western style king-size bed with an ensuite. The second bedroom has bunk beds with a Thai mattress and ensuite (second bedroom available for friends/family travelling together). The bathrooms don’t have a water heater but the metal water tank keeps the water tepid, which is refreshing in the Bangkok heat and is never too cold. There’s no wifi in the house but there is a cute coworking cafe 5 minutes walk away and unlimited data SIMs are cheap from AIS (I can help you with this).
  
  The house is situated in a safe, friendly community, located close to Phrakanong (Sukhumvit 71). It is walking distance to the canal boats, which take you into the centre of town (Prompong, Asoke) for 20THB, within 15 minutes. It is also a 10-15 minute bike ride to Phrakanong BTS, Ekkamai and Thong Lor. The Airport rail link station (Sukhumvit 71 or Hua Mak) are under 10 minutes by bike from the house so easy access to BKK airport or the city centre. There is also a bus stop at the end of the street. It’s walking distance to the main road with two malls, three supermarkets (Big C, Foodland, Gourmet), lots of shops, restaurants and a night market.
  
  Although you will have the house to yourself, depending on dates, I will be available to orientate you in the house and anything you need to know about the area. If you’re interested get in touch and we can arrange a call. Cat/house sitting experience and references a bonus.
  
  OVERVIEW:
  
  What’s Expected:
  - Feed the cats in the morning (5 minutes)
  - Empty the cat litter in the morning (5 minutes)
  - Play/cuddle the cats when you’re at home (they usually come to you and play for around 10 minutes, cuddles are endless)
  - Short daily text/picture update
  - Water the plants every other day (5 minutes)
  - Keep the house clean and tidy as though it’s your own
  - Remember to turn the aircon and lights off when not in use
  - No parties or unapproved guests.
  
  Rest of the time it’s up to you. You’re free to explore or just hang out.
  
  What you get:
  - Private room with ensuite bathroom and a king size bed. The bedroom has a seating area, chest of drawers, hanging rail, balcony, aircon, towels and linen.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Bangkok can be a crazy, busy city. Settle in to a house tucked away from the chaos but still within easy reach of everything.
  
  There is a lot to see and do, all accessible by public transport or taxi (car/bike).
  
  There are lots of hidden gems in Bangkok, so I’ll prepare a guide to things social media doesn’t tell you about. I’ll also be contactable via WhatsApp throughout your stay should you have any questions. Happy to give a reference/review on completion.

  My animals / pets

  

  Chulo (4 years)

  Found abandoned on the street, still in his birthing sack, Chulo (meaning handsome road-man in Tagalog) was hand raised and socialised with 3 dogs. He doesn’t quite know how to be a cat but he loves to tell you about his day and snuggle up. He’s one of the most chilled out cats you will ever meet.

  

  Alby (1 year)

  Some local aunties found Alby abandoned in a box when he was around a week old. The plan was to temporarily foster him, but I fell in love. He was hand-reared and would follow me wherever I went. Alby loves to chat and lots of cuddles. He can be a bit cheeky and has kitten energy so loves to play. Recently he was diagnosed with Leukaemia and Lymphoma (likely passed from his mum), we’re trying our best to manage it so he’s comfortable and cared for. He recently had his first dose of chemotherapy.
