Baldivis, Western Australia

About this house sitting position in Baldivis

Looking for a mature, quiet living couple to care for house and animals in a semi-rural bush residential area south of Perth.
Ideal couple have some experience of practical management of a small bush acreage, and enjoy being in the proximity of wildlife, especially kangaroos, possums and birds.
Responsibilities include to feed & care for animals, 1 x domestic - cat - a rescue cat who is a bit anxious about new people, and thunder. Hens: (there are 4) to feed mornings, let out for free ranging after lunch, lock up again just before dusk.
Also, we have some soft release (rescued) wild possums and kangaroos, & some birds, that frequently come for snacks.
There is a swimming pool too that will need maintaining with equipment and any chemicals necessary provided.
Water is rainwater collected in 90,000L tank, and pumped directly to the house.
There is a reticulation system that will need to be used regularly during your stay as January is normally hot and dry.
Care In exchange for accommodation. Must live in.
