  Description

  Hi! I’m a brit living in Oslo, Norway. I have a lovely cat named Lilly. I work in the energy industry here in Oslo and in my free time enjoy gardening, reading and knitting
  
  I’m looking for a home sitter / petsitter to look after Lilly whilst I’m away.
  It mainly involves feeding her and playing with her (no more than 1hr per day timewise)
  
  Oslo is great city to explore and spend time in - it’s very relaxed and has great access to nature
  
  If you want to take day trips or an overnight trip away from the flat to explore more of Norway , this should be fine to :)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Oslo is a great city to explore from. I like to go to the sauna down by the Opera house or to take the tram 30 minutes and go for a hike in the mountains. I live quite centrally (Majorstuen) so it’s easy to walk into town. There are lots of cafes and bookshops too - and many parks in the area

  Help

  The help is house sitting and mainly looking after my cat lilly. She’s pretty chill - enjoys snoozing on her window spot.
  
  She’s usually likes to play for around 15 minutes a day. She gets fed twice a day (morning annd night). And she liked to be brushed. All in all, no more than an hours work.
  
  Of course I’d also ask that you tidy up after yourself and keep the place clean :)
  
  I’m looking for someone who will enjoy being in Oslo and is respectful of space and kind to Lilly. She often likes to just be in the same room as me, or sitting on the sofa - so someone that will spend some time in the flat would be great
  
  However, you may want to make the most of being in Oslo! Catsitting is very flexible - if you are planning to do an overnight trip to explore more of Norway that should be fine! :)
