We need a house sitter

Historic Heartland - Clarke

Jennifer

Two sweet, interactive, indoor/outdoor kitties need an attentive, caring female sitter or couple to hang out with them while we are away. There will also be a need to water some plants inside and outside. We live in an updated one-story condo in a quiet community just 5 minutes drive from downtown Athens, GA which is a vibrant college town- full of great music, good food and lots of intellectual/cultural entertainment. So, our home is perfect for a cat lover who would enjoy a comfortable change of scenery with lots of options for entertainment and some fun outdoor recreation with lots of hiking trails to explore. Additionally, the condo complex has a tennis court with pickle ball courts available. The bus line is just a 5 minute walk and within a 10 minute walk you can be in a shopping area with grocery stores, coffee shop, restaurants, banks and a pharmacy.
We believe that information is power so we provide a detailed "instruction manual" and training to set our sitters up to feel confident and comfortable during the stay. We have found great sitters on this site for the past 7 years, appreciating good communication before, during and after and very good care for our kitties and our home.
We feel most comfortable being able to have a video chat for us to interview you and you to interview us with the bonus that you can get to virtually tour of our home and meet our kitties. We have found it most helpful to have an in-person training the day before we leave and have built that into the dates listed here which gives us that first night tall together o get to know each other and make sure you're feeling comfortable and confident.

It’s a beautiful home with a lovely garden very close to all things athens. The cats are sweethearts and the hosts were very communicative, with a care binder and return phone calls. I had a great experience.

2nd house sit for Jennifer and Cindy and the precious kittens Tiger and Grizzy. I cannot give enough stars to describe how truly kind, thoughtful, organized and communicative these home owners are. Sitting for J and C is like arriving to visit dear friends and then having the priveledge to stay in their lovely spotless home with minimal kitten and household responsibilities. Tiger did bring me a frog once into the house that I got to save and return to the outdoors. That was the greatest ... MORE

I've been pet-sitting full-time for over 4 years. I've spent more time with Tiger & Grizzy than anyone else, 337 days with them! They are by far my favorites. Jennifer & Cindy have great documentation, clear expectations & are just a pleasure to work with. They have a lovely condo, a great community pool for summers in Athens & a really nice group of neighbors that I have gotten to know. Tiger & Grizzy are sweet kittens & I look forward to the opportunity to hang out with them again in the ... MORE

Jennifer and Cindy are perfect hosts. We arrived to their usual warm welcome and a wonderful meal. Wayne asked Cindy to leave the leftovers! Tiger and Grizzy greeted us warmly and seemed happy to have us back. Another great sitting experience and plans made to return in the fall.
 
MARY & WAYNE (Apr 2024 - 1 week 6 nights - 1 of 2 endorsements from this sitter )
We were happy to see that Jennifer and Cindy needed an encore sit this spring. We enjoyed our time in their home and loved their cats last year so why not “apply” again? As usual everything was in order, instructions clear and all family members very accommodating (cats included)! Athens is a great town to explore with plenty to see/do so it was fun to make a return trip there. These folks are so easy to work with, and we are so happy to count them as friends. To us, that’s what a good house ... MORE

House sitting for Jennifer and Cindy was top notch. Their home is spacious and inviting, impeccably well organized with a chef's kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and heated floor in the primary bath. It is situated in a great city with lots of free stuff to do, walkable to grocery, restaurants and shopping, with friendly neighbors willing to assist if ever needed. Tiger and Grizzy "the Kittens" were delightful to hang out with. They prefer to potty outside so that made cleanup simple. During my ... MORE

Sitting for Jennifer and Cindy was great! They were so thoughtful about what our needs might be during the sit. The kitten sittin bible provided detailed info on caring for the kittens and operation of the home as well as things to see and do in the area. Communication was always available for any issues or concerns. We look forward to our next sit for them. Thank you for everything. Hugs to Tiger and Grizzy!

This was a delightful experience from start to finish. Great hosts, home and cats, couldn't ask for better. Jennifer's communication and instructions were clear and timely, making it so easy for us. We are missing Tiger and Grizzy already - they were great bosses who took kindly to us! We would welcome the opportunity to further the friendship and another assignment. Thanks for the privilege, Jennifer and Cindy!
 
JEANNIE (Apr 2023 - 1 week 6 days)
Five stars all around! We thoroughly enjoyed our time taking care of the 13 year old kitten siblings as well as relaxing in Jennifer and Cindy's gorgeous home. They are so organized, efficient and thoughtful...how many hosts take you on a customized city/campus tour, provide you with a "bible" covering every aspect of your "sitting time", and prepare you a gourmet meal? Their home is modern and pristine (with a sun porch that was my favorite spot) and such a charming garden spot to boot. We ... MORE

Always pleasure sitting for these gals! The home is welcoming, Jennifer and Cindy are warm and so hospitable, and the cats are full of personality. Love this area too. Friends for life.

This was my third extended sit with Tiger & Grizzy. I really like working with Jennifer & Cindy. House is great, cats are fun & they are superb with communication & just very caring people. I'm also really enjoying the Athens community. I look forward to a couple of sits with the kittens in 2022.
 
KATHERINE (Nov 2021 - 1 month 2 weeks - 2 of 4 endorsements from this sitter )
It's just a pleasure to work with Jennifer & Cindy. They are great with communication, quick to respond to any questions & very generous. The garden they have recently built is beautifully done & very relaxing. Grizzy & Tiger are fun cats that like people. I enjoyed this return sit & look forward to sitting again in the future,
 
KATHERINE (Aug 2021 - 5 weeks - 3 of 4 endorsements from this sitter )
I really enjoyed kitten sitten for Grizzy and Tiger. Jennifer gave me a full introduction to the house, the cats and the area. She was great with communication and expectations. They are in an area that's close the downtown Athens, great location that felt shafe with very nice neighbors. I'd welcome the opportunity to sit for them again.
