San Jose California

Description of the home:
We live in a single family home in the neighborhood of Willow Glen. The house is well lit, has all the amenities, central heating and air conditioning, super fast WiFi, an office room and a guest bedroom and bathroom available for use by the sitter. We have a lovely backyard space, friendly neighbors and lots of oranges in the right season!

Pet care duties:
Our two indoor cats, Tom and Jerry, are almost 9 years old. They are vocal, playful, loving and healthy. Since the pandemic, they have also come to depend on the constant human contact, so they love a warm lap and lots of pets and treats. They get fed thrice a day, wet food in the morning and night, and dry food in the evening as a snack. We'd like their litter boxes to be cleaned once every day, and their water fountain refilled and cleaned once a week.
Our third cat is an outdoor feral cat who sometimes appears for food. She doesn't show up every day, and when she does, she's very shy and needs you to place her bowl of food on the step outside the back door and step back inside so that she can come out and eat. She will show herself when she's hungry, so please don't leave food outside the door if she isn't around.
We don't free-feed any of our cats.

Garden care:
There are a few potted plants in the backyard that require watering once every few days.

Home care:
You're free to use anything you find in the kitchen, we only request that you please clean up after yourself and leave everything the way you found it. Please avoid cooking meat in the home, as we are vegetarian.
After using the shower, please wipe down the glass to avoid mold and mildew, and leave the exhaust on, or open the window.
