We've had our house sitter cancel for personal reasons so we're looking for someone to look after our house at short notice. (Yes, the 18th of this month.) We have two friendly dogs and a few chickens to care for. Our friend from down the road will help with the dog duties if required. The house is located close to shops and is 1km from the Broadwater.
If your house sitting schedule doesn't quite fit in with the period listed we can work with you. We have plenty of space if there is an overlap. Also, we can make short-term arrangements if their is a short fall.
I work from home and one of my staff will be here quite often during the day. He'll be available should you need him. We have plenty of internet available (I work in IT) and a good television.
The dogs are low maintenance. They need a decent amount of exercise but once they've had that they relax. (And remember we have help from our neighbor with dog walking duties.) We are surrounded by parklands and there are two dog parks nearby. The chickens need fresh water and feed every couple days. You're welcome to fresh eggs if you like eggs.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
