"This is a private role based within the Eastern Suburbs area working for a busy family as a Pet Nanny/Carer," the ad reads on Seek. "This position will require someone who is available to live-in full-time and stay home to look after the most beloved, gorgeous cat in Australia.

"[It] would suit a single person only that does not have their own pet, given it is a live-in position. Please only apply if you have experience with cats or we will not consider your application. All ages considered if you have the experience required."

What are the responsibilities?

Responsibilities for the job include "providing love and attention," and "engaging with the cat in play, enrichment activities and mental stimulation".

As well as "daily checks and monitoring to ensure the cat is healthy and well".
