PLEASE NOTE: PET CARE REQUIRED FOR THIS SUBLET

Details.
Looking for a combination of sublet/cat sitting for my 2 bedroom apartment in Cairo NY. The sublet will be for the month of June, with some flexibility on the exact start and end date. (this sublet is paired/offset with cat caring responsibilities – feeding and litter for Arlo, my 6 yr old (extremely) friendly cat for the entire duration of the sublet. Rent - 650/month (all utilities, heat & internet included.) *This sublet is half the cost of the rent, to account for the labor and care involved in pet-sitting. No additional pets are allowed. I’m hoping to find an animal lover who needs a change of scenery, or a place to land in the Catskills for a bit, and would be excited to cohabitate with a charming feline roommate while here.

Location
My apartment is in the center of a very small town, Cairo, and is within walking distance of a nice coffee shop, bakery, library and public park. Very short drive to grocery store and pharmacies. Centrally located, with the Catskills (Windham and Hunter about a 15-20 minute drive away). Very short drive to Catskill and Hudson, and about 35 minutes to get to Saugerties, Kingston and Woodstock. There are tons of hikes in the area-- I'm happy to provide a curated list of outdoor spots to explore while you're here!

The place.
My apartment is a newly renovated, furnished ground level 2 bedroom apartment with a private entrance. The main bedroom is set up with a queen sized bed. Second bedroom is my basketry studio, and can be set up as a studio/office or have a guest bedroom. Small but very well-supplied kitchen with all manner of kitchen supplies- food processor, vitamix, outdoor gas grill. (I’m a chef!) There is a small yard shared with two other cottages with a picnic table.

Cat-sitting
My cat Arlo is a 6 yr old outgoing, chubby, tailless cat who loves human attention. He has no health concerns or special health needs– just a bit of human interaction. Generally he wants to sit in your lap and have his belly rubbed. He also likes to go on short walks (on a leash). He needs to be fed twice a day. I have a setup to arrange automated feeding when I can’t be there for a regular feeding time. If you needed to be away for longer than 24 hrs, I have a local cat-sitter who is great and generally available (30$/day). No other pets are allowed under my lease.

About This Lister

My name is Renee (she/her) I am a chef, basket-maker and forager based in the Catskills. (If you're interested in these things, I post about my work on instagram) I love being outside, and making beautiful and delicious things with plants (and somehow have turned that into my career!)
I live on-site year round, but will be away for the month for a job on the west coast. My landlords live part-time on the property-- they are lovely people, and have always responded when any needs arose in my space. There are three other units on the property, none of them are directly adjacent to my apartment, so there is a lot of privacy within my space. The outdoor space is much more of a shared space with the other tenants. Arlo is my much-beloved companion, and finding someone who will take great care of him is a priority. He is a real character and seems to charm everyone he meets.
