About this house sitting position in Canina
Sorry about this short notice request. We live on five acres , about ten minutes
outside Gympie in a four bedroom two bathroom air conditioned brick home. We have eight gorgeous female alpacas and three hens . We are looking for housesitters to feed our alpacas twice a day, and feed Tina, Betsy and Hattie, (hens). No mowing or plant watering required.
There are many many places to visit in and around the area if you like keeping busy or just relax and enjoy the surroundings . Read a book whilst sitting with the alpacas is one way to relax.
We are one hour to Noosa, thirty minutes to Tin Can Bay and forty -five minutes to Rainbow Beach.

“A great housesit.
Looking after their 8 Alpacas was something new for us and something most enjoyable.
Highly recommended.

“Sharon is a great host. All the information you need is clearly written down. Sharon took the time to introduce me to the Alpacas and show me what is required to care for them. I received really good communication and a phone number for back up if needed. I didn't need as the instructions were perfect.
It was a comfortable stay and the outlook relaxing. Watching the Alpacas was nice too.
I recommend Sharon's housesits to others. ”

“Our month looking after the alpacas and Dale and Sharon’s house was great. Feeding the alpacas was an enjoyable experience and, having only ever seen them before in paddocks whilst driving through the countryside, it was good to be more closely involved with them and get to know what delightful creatures they are - each with their own unique personality.
Dale and Sharon’s house was a good base for day trips as well as being very comfortable and relaxing during evenings and on days when we didn’t go out. What we were required to do with the alpacas and around the house was clearly explained to us on arrival and, in the end, we left with lots of good memories of the time we spent there and are very thankful to Dale and Sharon for trusting us with their alpacas and home for that time. ”
