We need a house sitter

South Western Victoria - Great Ocean Rd/Otway Ranges

Kim

We require a house and pet sitter. We live in a small country town in between Port Fairy and Hamilton. We are 45 mins from Warrnambool and Portland and the Grampians. There is so much to see and do from our doorstep. We have a Burmese male cat called Samuel and 2 chickens to be loved and fed. Your pets must be friendly and good with cats and had exposure to chickens. You will have your own bedroom if required, and access to all facilities there is plenty of room for your van with water and electricity if required. We live on just over half an acre, boasting a lovely garden and a producing vegetable garden. If there is no rainfall the garden will require watering. Potted plants will require watering at least 3 times a week. Anything you can pick is yours to eat and of course the free range eggs. We request that you let the chickens out of the pen in the morning and clean the nesting box. The chooks will normally tuck themselves up on dusk and you can lock the door on them to keep them safe from foxes.
Sam is predominately an indoor cat, you will have his litter box to clean daily. He is not one to be picked up and held, if he wants some love he will come to you. He is a very cheeky boy and does not like to be over stimulated, he will bite. He does have a GPS tracker that can be put on him to go out the front of the house for exercise. He is happy to entertain himself during the day if you are not home. He has a playpen on the verandah.

This was a lovely housesit. Made even more special by the neighbours welcoming us into their community. Sammy the cat with more character and facial expressions than Garfield and Tikka the chicken were both very easy to look after. We will especially miss Samuel. Thank you Kim & Mark for letting us look after him and your home.

Kim &Mark have a lovely comfortable home & beautiful garden including a very productive veggie patch. Sam has a distingished personality loving a pat just his way & decided we were ok enough to sleep on our bed a few nights. We enjoyed our coffee breaks outside watching him explore his yard. We arrived on our motorbike & were given a very friendly greeting including gifts. Expectations were listed clearly introduced to the neighbours & info of places to see. Couldn't have made us any more ... MORE

It was a pleasure looking after Kim and Mark's comfortable, neat and tidy home. Communication with them was excellent regarding what to expect, as well as providing information about their home and the local area. We enjoyed our many cuddles with Sam, who was easy to look after. The chooks were also easy to manage and gave us delicious eggs to enjoy. They also have a large and leafy garden which provides a delightful and peaceful setting. We would recommend a stay with them to anyone looking at ... MORE
