About this house sitting position in The Palms
We live in a 134 yr old Queenslander. Close to an amazing spot on the Mary River. 15mins out of Gympie on 5acres.
There are 5 & 1/3rd horses (Donny is smaller than the Great Dane - so not a real horse). All are stabled at night (or when there is a storm). They are pretty much all old and don't do much. They get feed hay morning and night.
4 dogs - all rescues so quite different. All sleep inside and again don't do much.
A mob of chooks - 2 old ducks and a very big fat pig - Dexter who loves a scratch and a bit of a chat.
It takes about 30 mins in the morning and about the same of a night. Stables need cleaning - I generally do one a night.
The garden is full of wildlife so that translates into it is untidy (which we don't really mind - with so many others using it as home.) We are establishing a bit of a rainforest so if you want to you're more than welcome to help out but only if you want to.
It sounds like a lot but it isn't really. Everyone is pretty chill. They all have a sad story and are happy to just have somewhere safe to be.
Thank you for reading. Hope someone out there finds this amazing enough to give us our first holiday in 20 yrs!
Thank you
