About this house sitting position in Greta

My off grid home is a very comfortable, small mud brick house on 5 acres, with an established garden and a permanent creek.
There is a Thermalux woodstove, oven for heating and cooking. Also a gas stove. Plenty of firewood.
Nearby attractions include the King Valley wineries, the Milawa gourmet region, rail trails and bushwalking. Autumn is a beautiful time of the year here.
Plenty of room for caravan, house available.
There is NBN fixed wireless Wi-Fi, and Netflix available. It is possible to work from home.
I am looking for genuine animal lovers to care for my old donkey, two pet sheep, one guinea fowl and two chickens (all free range).
Minimal garden care: just a vegetable patch and pot plants to water.
Full orientation to the property provided...it is best to arrive one day ahead of time.
Many other sitters have enjoyed staying here.

I am looking for someone who will treat my property with respect, as well as care for my animals.

Non smokers only.

“It was a refreshing change to petsit for Helen in her quiet rural vista. The mud brick house is clean and comfortable and Helen went out of her way to provide detailed instructions on how best to manage the off grid property. All animals are in great condition. The sheep and donkey are very domesticated and the chooks are social girls and fun to hang out with. Helen is multi-skilled, fixing a broken pipe, cooking a nice meal on my first night and offering local information on places to visit during my short stay. Much appreciated! ”
