About this house sitting position in South West Rocks Acreage

We live at Summer Island (not actually an island), a beautiful rural property by the river, surrounded by farmland. We’re just 5 minutes from the lovely village of Gladstone, and only 15 minutes to the beaches of South West Rocks and Hat Head National Park.

Our home is a renovated two-storey brick house set on 33 acres, with air conditioning and a fireplace for comfort year-round.

We have a number of much-loved animals:

- Three dogs: Willow (15-year-old beagle), Lily (14-year-old fluffy mix), and Harry (3-year-old chocolate labradoodle)
- Jack, our friendly outdoor cat who enjoys the occasional cuddle
- Four chickens who need to be fed and let out daily — they’ll reward you with fresh eggs
- Two goats who require no care, just the occasional pat or bit of bread
- Fifteen steers in the paddocks, which do not require any attention

We’re looking for a reliable house sitter who enjoys animals. The main responsibilities are:

- Walking the dogs and letting them run in the paddock each day
- Feeding the chickens and collecting eggs
- Keeping an eye on the pool

Please note, we’re unable to accommodate house sitters with pets or small children.

If you enjoy peaceful country living and caring for animals, this could be a lovely stay. Read more...

“Trudy and Steve have a lovely clean and comfortable home, filled with furry pet's ready to keep you company and play. Clear instructions were left and Truby was very considerate and quick to reply when we had any questions. We had a fabulous house sit here. Really enjoyed it and hope to be back someday. Highly recommended this sit.””

“We thoroughly enjoyed our farm sit for Trudy and Steve at Summer Island . Their house was very well appointed,comfortable and private.Instructions were clear and well laid out for our three week stay. We had a pleasant time getting to know Trudy and Steve before they left for their holidays.All the animals routines were clearly laid out for us. The 3 dogs and cat were very comfortable with us from the beginning and we became quite attached to them during our stay. The small herd of cattle,goats and sheep were easy care. We enjoyed getting to know the surrounding area and meeting the property owners on either side. We would highly recommend this sit for anybody considering doing a farm sit for Trudy and Steve … (if we are not available ??)”
