We need someone who is fond of animals and comfortable in a semi rural environment. We have 1 cats), 2 dogs ( golden retriever middle aged, and a 2yr old minature poodle), 2 hens and 8 sheep. Cat and dogs are all house trained and usually obedient. The dogs require some walking but a paid dog walker does 3 days / wk. Hens need feeding daily but the sheep dont need any attention except to ensure their water trough is full. The gardens will need a twice-weekly watering. Other than that, there is time to enjoy the delightful rural outlook from the back patio. Armidale is the heart of the Oxley Wild Rivers region, with a number of Gorge drives for daily picnics. Wine tours and fosicking are other attractions. The Weather in March is likely to be cool with lovely autumnal colors appearing.
