About this house sitting position in Upwey

2 indoor Cats & 5 Chickens - House in the hills. Our property is at the bottom on a hill and backs out into bushland with 40 hectares of protected reserve with a running creek & walking trails!
We have a steep driveway with a large area for a small caravan if you’re confident in backing it down our winding driveway. (Have had trucks and trailers come down just fine.)
Our cats can be shy but are very friendly and love attention. Our chickens are also happy to be picked up once you’ve spent some time with them.
No pets allowed as we have lots of wild birds visiting our garden everyday and don’t want to scare them off! Our cats are indoors only for this reason. We currently have daily visits from endangered Gang Gang Cockatoos. Our garden is also loved by kookaburras, butcher birds, yellow crested cockatoos, rosellas, king parrots, rainbow lorikeets, and even the occasional black cockatoo! If you’re super lucky you might even see a blue tongue lizard or echidna.
We have approximately 15 fruit trees and veggie gardens, which would require some watering and extra attention on hot days. You’re very welcome to help yourself, including fresh eggs!
Our home has a room that is currently under construction.. this means it is not suitable for families as there is potentially dangerous equipment / materials like colour bond metal around. (This also means our builder and close friend may be doing work on the room/ car park area once or twice a week!) Read more...
