FREE PA apartment in exchange for cat-sitting (Dec 22-Jan 2)

I am looking for someone to stay in my beautiful 2 bedroom apartment and look after my cat while I'm away for the Christmas break. The apartment is in Midtown Palo Alto and is walking distance to Safeway and other stores. My roommate will be out of town, so I am offering up my fully furnished room FOR FREE in exchange for someone playing with and taking care of my adorable cat, Khaleesi, in my absence.

The apartment has hardwood floors, 1.5 baths, street parking, internet, AppleTV, and laundry in the complex.

Requirements:

1. You must genuinely like cats. I'm only doing this because I need a cat-sitter, so if you don't enjoy taking care of and playing with cats, this isn't going to work.
2. You must either be a current Stanford affiliate or be able to provide a reference who is a current Stanford affiliate. I will be leaving many of my things in the apartment (and my cat is very important to me), so I need someone I can trust.
3. You must be able to stay during the full time listed. There is an option of starting your stay as early as December 17th, but I will not consider anyone who is only available part of the time.
