Going away with family for a week and need someone to come and take care of my sweet little kitty and apartment :)

I live in a 2 bed apartment in Fitzroy, VIC, near Brunswick Street, with super easy access to both the 11 and 96 tram lines. My apartment is on the 4th floor, is secure and has an outdoor, cat-safe balcony you can enjoy with my fur baby.

I live in a 2 bed apartment in Fitzroy, VIC, near Brunswick Street, with super easy access to both the 11 and 96 tram lines. My apartment is on the 4th floor, is secure and has an outdoor, cat-safe balcony you can enjoy with my fur baby.

My cat is 2 years old and called Baby Cakes and she needs love, company and care while I am away, as she is a 100% indoor cat and needs attention and companionship. I'm after someone who will spend time with her, play with her in the afternoons and just be in the house keeping her company.

She is a sweet, friendly cat that wants to be in your presence and lie in the sun. She isn't fiesty, skittish or overly vocal, she'll just follow you around the house and enjoys playing with all her toys, having cuddles and will want you to sit out on the balcony with her.

Thanks.

She’s a small 2-year old tabby, affectionate on her terms, and pretty easygoing once she settles with someone. She’s an indoor-only cat, prefers routine, and likes having someone around — so this would suit someone who works from home or spends a fair bit of time in. She’s used to quiet company and a calm household.

Baby Cakes is such a sweetheart once she warms up to you. She has a strong personality and is very communicative, so she’ll let you know when she needs something. She eats well, plays, cuddles, and is genuinely lovely to spend time with. She can be a little territorial in her own home, as she should be, but once trust is built she is very sweet. Natalie was wonderful too: kind, clear, and great with communication throughout the sit. The apartment is amazing and in a fantastic location, which ...

Natalie was super friendly and great with her instruction notes and quick communication replies. Baby cakes was a cutie and loved playtime and cuddles. Was a great sit. Thank you Natalie
Natalie was such a lovely host and was always available to respond to any queries. Natalie also communicated with me about anything that would be going on in the apartment building and wrote a detailed handover note, which was very helpful to be able to refer back to. Natalie’s apartment is gorgeous, very comfortable and in such a great location. Baby cakes was also the most beautiful, gentle companion and we became very good friends! Hopefully I will get a chance to look after baby again!
We so enjoyed our time taking care of Natalie’s kitten ‘Baby-Cakes’. She was an absolute delight to look after - playful, friendly, and cuddly. Very easy to care for. Natalie’s apartment was great too, and in a fabulous location so close to all the Fitzroy action - yet in a quiet street with a very sunny balcony. Our communications with Natalie were excellent throughout and she made us feel very welcome. Without hesitation we would be delighted to return again in a future and look after ...
