Our life on the farm

More information about this house sitter

I am in my 80's and Ken is 78. We are caretakers on a beef cattle property (owners in Brisbane) 40klms north of Chinchilla. We are very fit and have been on the farm 9 years now. We will be house and pet sitting in short bursts until end of November 2024 when we can take longer bookings. We were townies gone bush and love the life. I retired from managing an independent living disability service , Ken was doing horticultural work. We have looked after cattle, dogs and cats and pigs and chooks. Ken loves to garden. We both love to travel. I enjoy cooking, we are both animal lovers. We intend being ready to take long sittings by the end of November 2024. We now wish to have a more relaxed lifestyle and travel more so we have chosen house sitting for people needing a break seeking someone to care for their property with or without pets. We are happy to offer pets cuddles, play and walks and help them to feel loved while you are away. Whatever your pets we hope you won't mind them being thoroughly spoilt. We are police checked and give phone references on application. Please message us if you think we are a fit. Read more...
