About this house sitting position in Somerset
Rustic 2BR home on 4 acres 7kms from Somerset and the beach. We have an elderly, affectionate cat Tiddles, that needs feeding morning and night leaving the days free for you to explore the surrounding areas eg Cradle Mountain, Stanley, Corinna etc. Note: Previous reviews mention a horse Echo but he has sadly passed away, so only a cat to look after now. Tiddles has his own cat door to the backyard so no kitty litter changing is required. He is affectionate so you must like cats!

“Sitting for Tiddles the cat was very enjoyable. He is a relaxed cat with a calm personality. He doesn't meow much, just a quick good morning or at feed time. He would settle on my lap whenever I was on the lounge, which I welcomed. The house is easy living, single level with ensuite to Sitter's bedroom. Watering systems in place made for straight forward watering. Quiet neighbours and the owner of the sheep in back paddock visited to check on them. Property located in a rural setting and a short drive to either Wynyard or Burnie. ”

“I enjoyed caring for Mandy & Wayne's fur-babies and home while they were away.
They both made me feel welcome, with also delicious dinner meal, dessert and a night stay before they left for their adventure. This gave us a good amount of time for us to go through the house sit requirements.
Mandy trained me well with feeding Echo and sheep, and showed me how to change Echo's rug (having been the first time for me). I felt comfortable around Echo, he seems to be a well behaved horse.
Darling Tiddles is friendly and would often sit on my lap and pur.
Cosy, warm home in a beautiful location.
I would happily house sit for Mandy & Wayne again. ”

“Mandy was a great communicator with clear and concise instructions.
The position of the sit and the animals were wonderful, a lovely comfortable home to sit and enjoy the views and the wildlife.
Definitely would return. ”
