Hi there,

I'm looking to build up a network of reliable cat sitters who would generally be around on weekends and who would be willing to check in on my cat if my partner and I are away for a trip. I'd love to find someone who just loves cats and maybe would like to escape from dorm/roommate life every now and then, since we live in a very private, one-bedroom apartment in College Terrace. Hopefully, this is a good enough exchange (private housing + cat time) for you that you are willing to drop in to check in on her for free (she doesn't require much at all--we're usually not away long enough for you to have to clean her litter; she is free-fed), but rates can be negotiated. Of course, when you're in the house, you're free to eat and drink anything in the house and treat the house as your own.

Let me know if this sounds like you and you can come by and see the house plus meet Damian the three-year-old toothless cat (@damestretches on Twitter).
