We need a house sitter

Mountains - Buncombe

Linda

Looking for a housesitter or sitters for a week at the end of March. The sit is in a big comfortable modern house with all amenities in quiet, safe, friendly neighborhood fifteen minutes from downtown Asheville. While Asheville suffered significant damage during Hurricane Helene in late September, Weaverville did not, and nearby hiking trails are mostly back to normal. For homebodies, there is a nice front porch for coffee on warm mornings, and the house is well-heated and well-lit for reading, crafts, conversation and just hanging out, with strong wifi and cell signals ( Verizon and AT&T) and TVs with lots of subscription services, etc.. Weaverville is a cute small town less than 10 minutes away with ample grocery shopping as well as nice “downtown” stores and restaurants. There is only one cat now, a two-year old named Zoe, who needs to be fed twice a day, have her box scooped daily, and have the cat door accessible on warm days while you’re home. We don’t let her stay out when we’re gone from the house, and she is only allowed out between 7 am and 6 pm, but she doesn't get crazy if she can’t go out. Zoe is young, energetic and curious, but generally indifferent to patting although she likes to be near people. If she is stuck inside and gets rambunctious, YouTube Cat TV videos will distract her ( really; she likes watching!) There are a few houseplants and perhaps a tray of seedlings but nothing complicated. Zoe likes to have someone play with her, and with the right enticement will "fetch" for a good while. We will be in Charleston and easily accessible by internet and cell. Neighbors are available for backup. Potential sitters are welcome to come a day early or leave a day late; there is a nice guest room.

The cats Zeke and Zoe were easy to care for and a joy to hang out with. Linda communicated all that we needed before she departed and we knew she would not be in an area with cell service for most of her trip. Her home is in a wonderful location for hiking and exploring. Town of Weaverville has a great quaint downtown. Asheville was easily accessible, but we did not venture there this visit. My partner worked from the home with great WiFi until Friday, when hurricane Helene came through and ... MORE

Wonderful sit! Linda and Ilana are great hosts. They're friendly and hospitable and just nice people. The house is very comfortable and the property is gorgeous with beautiful flower beds. Sitting on the front porch watching the birds and butterflies with the mountain view was delightful. The house is in a great location 5 minutes from a small charming town and 15 minutes from downtown Asheville. I really enjoyed spending time with their cats, Zoe and Zeke. Zoe is youngish and quite ... MORE

Great sit!! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Linda and Ilana. Sitting on the front porch, watching the sun rise was a blessing! The house is very comfortable, great location and views of the mountains, an amazing garden, and Zeke, the cat lives there! He is independent, but will socialize when he wants to. Linda, thank you for the mountain getaway, and allowing us to take care of Zeke for you! It was our pleasure, and we will gladly return when needed.

Linda and Ilana were very easy to contact and coordinate with, particularly regarding trips to the airport. They have a lovely home that is spacious and well maintained and in an absolutely lovely location with lovely mountain views. Their cat, Zeke, was a joy. He was adorable and appreciative of the attention. Once he warmed up he was vocal and communicative. .
