About this house sitting position in Boorcan

We are living in a 3 bye one modern bedroom house on a non operating quiet Dairy Farm. Our home is located just 45 minutes from the beautiful great ocean road (port campbell)
The next town from us is camperdown , which has a wollworth & Iga and a couple of lovely cafes & restaurants. It's just a 10 to 15 minute drive away from us . The next major citys are Melbourne (3 hours drive) & warnambol (1 hour drive )

There its lots & lots to explore and do in our region . I'm more then happy to give you some tips :)

About the house sitting role. We have 3 animals at the moment and they are our main priority. There is our dog , King . He is a white German Shepard, and he is still a puppy . He will be nearly 6 month old bye the time we go to WA . He got plenty of room to run around , so we would just require from you to feed him twice a day at least & give him some love and cuddles . And then there is our cat moana , she is pretty much the same . She needs food twice daily and she is very friendly & affectionate. (We don't want to leave her alone again )
And then there is the most easiest one ?? Lucy the chicken friend ! She just needs some seeds & water every day and you have to put her into bed every night . Even though she loves cuddles as well .
The garden pretty much looks after it self, especially at this time of the year. Apart from that we just a few indoor plants & we would expect you to leave the house in the same condition as you found it ?

Dale & I used to be house sitters as well for 2 years in WA .
We are more then happy for you to use everything in the house as we would too. Feel free to use what ever you can find in the pantry & fridge . We have a comfy bedroom with a king size bed & a spare room with a double bed . You can sleep where ever you prefer . Also if you need or want to come or stay a day earlier or after, please feel free to do so .

There is plenty of room to park a caravan as well on the property.
Looking forward to hearing from you .
Cheers

“Patty is the most delightful and generous host, leaving us with a book of hints and instructions and a huge basket of goodies to keep us content on the mucky days. Her thoughtfulness was much appreciated but not really needed as we were happy with the companionship of her two beautiful dogs and entertained by the chooks' antics...and eggs! King and Mindi are gorgeous animals. We're in love with gentle giant King. They have their own, quite different characters which kept us laughing, especially at the beach. They are extremely well behaved and responsive to commands, surprisingly easy to look after. Patty was quick to respond to questions and is a lovely, vibrant, caring personality and we loved meeting her and having the opportunity to share her comfy home and treasured pets. We also very much enjoyed getting to know the whole countryside. Agreat sit. Thanks Patty. x ”

“Patty and Dale have a lovely home near Warrnambool. Their dogs, cat and chickens are really friendly, easy to look after and totally lovable! All necessary information were given in a housesitting book and Patty and Dale were easy to contact at all times. I really enjoyed my stay at their home and would definitely housesit again! ”

“It was a pleasure looking after Patty and Dales precious pets, King, Mindi and Moana as well as their chickens! Super friendly animals, and a lovable cat, and spoiled by freshly laid eggs every single day! Even though Patty and Dale were abroad, they were easy to contact and communication was clear the entire time. We had a lovely stay, in their beautiful little home and their pets become a part of our family while we were there! ”

Amy, Shaun & Indie are a lovely little family that took well care of our beloved furry family. During their stay , they keep in touch & send us lovely pictures and videos .King usually gets very nervous when we go away, but he seemed to be so calm & happy in their presence. Little Indie has been especially sweet with all the pets& they felt very comfortable. They took time to groom him and take care of his sensitive nose. They came over to met us for dinner the night before& were really easy to go along with and really down to earth. We really enjoyed that they were home most of the time , like this we didn't have to worry about anything and could just enjoy our holidays ??? If you are looking for someone who is going to take good care of your animals , we would highly recommend them to you.
