    Description

    Welcome to Bellinzona – and to Sazy's little kingdom.
    Nestled in a peaceful neighborhood near the river, my flat is just a short walk from the heart of Bellinzona, the capital of Ticino, the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland.
    This city may not be big, but it’s full of charm – especially known for its three stunning castles, its friendly people, and the relaxed, southern vibe that makes it feel more like Italy than the rest of Switzerland.
    In summer, the whole region comes alive. You’re perfectly placed to explore Lugano, Locarno, Lake Maggiore, and even cross into northern Italy for a spontaneous pasta mission. Mountains, rivers, city life, and calm nature – all within reach.

    But now, let’s talk about the real queen of the house: Sazy.
    She’s a gentle, soulful 6-year-old cat with a soft spot for love and attention. She lost her sister not long ago, and ever since, she’s been more attached to the people around her. If you’re calm, kind, and enjoy being around animals, she’ll quickly adopt you as her human.
    She spends her days relaxing, observing, sometimes wandering outside (I usually leave the window open in summer so she can come and go). She’s very easy with food – she eats only when she’s hungry and only touches her own dry food. No tricks, no mess.
    Your job? Pretty simple: feed her, clean the litter box, and give her love and company. That’s really all she needs. You’ll have the apartment to yourself, and she’ll be your little shadow.

    I'm happy to hear from you :)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    During these two weeks, you'll get a real glimpse of daily life in Ticino, the italian-speaking part of Switzerland.

    There's nothing flashy about it - but that's exactly the charm: mountain views, slow mornings, and good temperatures.

    You'll also have time to explore the area, enjoy local food, and maybe even take a quick trip across the border to Italy.

    It's a quiet life, but for some, that's exactly what makes it special.

    I'm looking for someone to feed my cat, make sure she always has fresh water, and clian her litter box once or twice a day.

    She also appreciates a bit of company, so a little cuddling, play, or simply being present would be lovely too.
