“ One Of Our Favourite Housesits! ”

Sit Dates Nov-8-21 - Nov-23-21 Sitter BlueWorldNomads, Member Since Dec-8-16

Basil and Glenys's llama farm is by far one of our favourite housesits. Glenys and Basil were so welcoming, accommodating and flexible with all the arrangements and we immediately felt right at home.

Their home is beautiful and comfortable with an incredible ocean view - we were lucky enough to see a few whales. Cady the cat is super affectionate and friendly and the llamas are equally cute and irresistible. Even some of the chickens like to get their backs scratched!

The llamas and chickens are very low maintenance and only require about one hour of feeding and cleaning in the morning and a quick head count and egg collection in the evening. The rest of the day can be used to explore the fascinating area and relax on the gorgeous property. We are looking forward to the next opportunity to house and pet sit for Basil and Glenys.
