  Description

  ===========
  Cat-sitter FOUND! Thank you very much for your interest and your messages! I will quite certainly need sitters in the future too, but this spring/summer is all set.
  ===========
  
  
  Hello, my name is Elina, I'm a Belgian-Finnish language teacher. I live with my two cats Pekka and Kalle in a flat in a small and quiet town in central Finland (4 hours North of Helsinki)
  
  You would have the whole flat (one bedroom flat with its own sauna and a big balcony) for yourself to share with the overlords. Pekka and Kalle are friendly indoors cats that I'd ask you to take very good care of, i.e. feed them, clean after them and entertain them. I also have a few quite low-maintenance plants.
  
  The flat is a rent, and my landlord will know about your stay.
  
  ❄️🌦️🌱The transition from spring into summer is definitely not the same here in Finland. It takes time for the winter snow to melt away and nature will explode in verdant green just as soon as it can (i.e. usually in mid-May). Don't expect stable weather nor a long flowering period, instead you will go through snow, slush, and rain with enchanting sunsets and germination at sight, all this with the delightful singing of birds and the lengthening of days. 🌅 (For reference we have 12:21' of daylight during the spring equinox and 19:55' around the summer solstice.)
  
  Please feel free to write for more information and details about the terms!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Nature is the keyword here! My town is surrounded by forests, lakes and swamps. There are only a few cafés and restaurants in town, but good grocer's shops. The nearest cities (Jyväskylä, Kuopio) may have more cultural events accessible in less than one hour by train.

  Aide

  😺😺I need a caretaker and good company for my cats. They have to be fed twice a day (their food will be provided), their litter box ought to be cleaned regularly, and even if they sleep a lot they also like to play!
  
  🪴My plants need to be watered and some of their leaves need to be swiped approximately once every 10 days.

  Hébergement

  My rented flat has one bedroom with a double bed, a semi-open kitchen, its own sauna and a big glazed balcony. No television, no Wi-Fi, but very good 4G/5G network. Absolutely no smoking allowed.
  
  You may use the towels, soaps and shampoos, bathrobes, sheets, rain jacket, umbrellas, warmer clothes, according to your needs. Just wash everything before you leave. All the spices and food are also at your disposal, but please restock if something ends up.
  
  The neighbours and vicinity are calm and troubleless. The nearest supermarket is 2 minutes away on foot, the train station is 4 minutes away on foot, the city center 7. I can leave you my two "grandma-"bicycles to use.
  
  My landlord will know about your stay.
