I have booked 3 days at Christmas with a new sitter but not happy - never mind. What I would like to do is to set up a regular contact for very occasional away visits. Also does anyone do housesitting? I have a delightful people-loving cat of 14, who gets separation anxiety. Needs petting and talking to like a baby. Almost entirely an indoor cat, often just sleeps. I am central Christchurch, near the traffic lights. Quaint and clean home, non-smoking, parking available. Just reaching out for someone I can call on for any times we are away for a weekend, but that won't be often.
