About this house sitting position in Colchester

Greetings, feline friends!

We are a pair of gourmet raw/living culinary & holistic wellness professionals based near the city centre in Colchester. Our home is a charming old Victorian two storey building, where we prepare most of our food and sometimes host culinary workshops, wellness retreats, and dining events both indoors and outside in our lovely little edible forest garden.

As we must sometimes travel for catering gigs and other related business, our little companion Astrid may occasionally require a new human friend who is willing to provide her some basic care and cuddles during certain times of the year.

Astrid is a tiny, sweet, beautiful little British Longhair princess who loves a fuss and loads of cuddles. She sometimes requires a little bit of encouragement in relation to coming in for the night after dark, but is relatively low-maintenance in general.

Our home is situated in a convenient location quite near the city centre. It is close to shops, cafés, art and culture, restaurants and dining, and family-friendly activities.

The bedroom in which our sitter will stay is also used for wellness retreat and Airbnb guests––providing a nice, tranquil environment for sleep, reading, meditation, or relaxing with a nice cuppa. 🍵

As we do grow a fair amount of our own food (both indoors and out), we are hoping to find someone who also appreciates plants. We have two greenhouses on-site, in addition to a number of other fruiting plants who may require a bit of water from time to time during our time away. 🌱🌳

The kitchen setup is somewhat specialised, as we use it specifically for professional catering of organically grown & wild harvested raw/living plant-derived food for wellness clients. Thus, we find it imperative to maintain an environment free of meat, dairy, eggs, and other common allergens (such as wheat, gluten, corn, soya, cashews, bananas, fish, meat, etc).

Thus, preference shall likely be given to sitters who share similar lifestyles (raw food vegans are strongly encouraged to apply) and/or bear willingness to respect and maintain certain guidelines we have set in place for this sacred space. Alternatively, we are also happy to consider those who do not cook at home and prefer to venture out into town to enjoy some of Colchester's other fine offerings.

We use a reverse osmosis water filtration system for all of our food prep, tea, etc., and are happy to share our perfectly clean, chemical-free water with those who stay to look after our home & cherished feline companion.

We are also happy to offer some refrigerator space, and simply ask that no meat or dairy be brought into the kitchen at any time.

I (Kat) also have a sitter profile on this site, and truly enjoy connecting with fellow animal lovers. As such I am quite looking forward to hearing from other sitters and learning more about you! =)

Thank you for reading, and please do feel free to drop us a note of introduction if you feel that our situation may be a nice fit for you.

Peace be with you,
Kat, Alex, & Astrid
