About this house sitting position in Colbinabbin

We require someone to live in, care for, and help maintain our home and gardens. We have a regular weekly cleaner and gardeners, so you’d be required to give them property access and do the odd bit of weeding or mowing on occasion. Alongside this is the responsibility of loving and caring for our 4 cats aged between 1yr, still a mischievous kitten and 12yrs, older fella. The cats are varied in their personalities with the youngest (Munchkin 14mths) and oldest (Chaplin 12yrs) both quite sociable and happy to have a play, a pat, or a warm bed to share. The middle two cats (Bella 11yrs & Squeak 6yrs) will both likely give you a wide berth initially and hopefully in time they’ll warm to your charms (or at the very least your ability to provide them food!😜)

We also have numerous pens of chickens. Various breeds and all needing feeding/feeder checks, drinkers kept filled, and nest boxes/houses mucked-out on a weekly/fortnightly basis.... plus egg collecting and breed specific storage. I’m in heritage breeds chicken breeding business with my brother. He will have property access too while we are away to manage egg buyer orders and incubating of eggs. He will be non intrusive and respectful of housesitters privacy at all times. He is a lovely fella.

And then there’s Lottie, Billy, & Jean. Our lovely pet sheep, raised from bottle-fed, poddy/orphan lamb stage. Lottie loves a good head scratch and some daily visit and chat while feeding her and replenishing her water supply. Not a mean bone in her body. She truly loves people. Billy can be pushy, but he’s easily reprimanded. Jean is a lovely young ewe. She will come when called (most of the time) and doesn’t mind a pat or head scratch too. We love our menagerie and want someone who will pay them the same care and attention as we do daily, ensuring all creatures remain healthy, settled, and safe.

I’m sincerely hoping that’s you…. Please ask any questions, and do make contact for more info or to share your interest 😊😃 Read more...
