We are heading away for 1 month and require a sitter/s on our 10 acre property (hobby farm)- with 2 alpacas, 4 pet sheep, 1 border collie dog ,1 cat (who thinks he's a dog) and a dozen chooks The house is a cedar 3X1 with a fire for heating and is set amongst tall timbers. We are equidistance (20 mins) from Margaret River, Dunsborough and Busselton and surrounded by farms. Wineries and breweries are plentiful in this area.
You would be required to feed the animals and generally keep an eye on things. The lawn would need to be mowed (a small area) on a ride-on lawn mower. There is very little garden.
Our dog is 12 years old and allowed into the house on cold days and nights. The cat is an "absolute character" . He must be in the house each night but allowed out during the day. The four sheep are very tame and enjoy a pat. The alpacas, although not willing to be patted, are quiet also. The animals' paddock is next to the house and they are quite entertaining if you love animals. Having said that, you must be an animal lover to apply.
For those traveling with a caravan, there is plenty of room to park near the house if required.
SORRY - please do not apply if you have accompanying animals or small children as the border collie has a dislike for both. She does however love adults.
