About this house sitting position in MOUNT EGERTON

We have a small hobby farm of 22 acres complete with the usual menagerie of animals: horses, Lowline cows, 3 sheep, 2 goats, and some chickens. While the farm animals look after themselves mostly (and we have fabulous "real" famers next door to keep an eye on things) what we are looking for is an extraordinary, confident, person or couple whom we can trust with our menagerie of 'live-in' house mates: Alfie our own toy white poodle, and our four legged grand-babies who came to live with us after their Mum, our beautiful daughter Stephanie, died suddenly in March 2022: Ludo and April (Black mini and Red standard poodles), Evie and Zippy (Russian Blue cats), and Errol and Kofi (budgies). Evie, Zippy and the birds live in the farm cottage, not the main house, where you would be.
We are incredibly protective of Steph's family entrusted to us so you need to be ready to open your hearts to us and them. They are 'on-the sofa' dogs (mostly!) and
we would like the dogs to meet you before sitting began so more local sitters would be preferred. We have no fixed dates as yet and we could use the cottage if there is an overlap of time: you would have the modern, attractive four bed main house as your accomodation.
It will be winter so the lawn shouldn't grow much but if you can use a ride on mower, fantastic. Read more...
