We need a house sitter

Regional NSW - Northern Tablelands

Wendy and Dave

Hello, we are Dave and Wendy.
We are seeking a house-sitter or couple 25th November to 2nd December 2024, dates can be a little flexible if necessary.
Our 9 acre patch of serenity is located 7 km from the small township of Guyra NSW Northern Tablelands.
Guyra is 35 km north of Armidale and 65 km south of Glen Innes. A beautiful fresh cool climate with no humidity, and at this time of the year the countryside turns very picturesque and green.
We are on a very secluded 9 acres 7 km out of Guyra with no near neighbours, definitely 'away from it all' and would suit a house-sitter who enjoys a quiet lifestyle.
We do prefer a house-sitter who does not have their own pets with them.
Our house is a neat 2 bdrm cottage, with a reliable off-grid system for power, with gas hot water and gas stove. We have a wood heater to keep the house nice and cosy if needed, with plenty of stacked firewood to use.
We have 2 horses and 1 cat to feed and look after while we are away, and have a couple of indoor plants and a small outdoor garden to water every couple of days.
Our 2 horses are fed twice daily, given hay in the morning and a chaff mix plus hay late afternoons.
One of the horses will need to be rugged/unrugged daily and hooves picked out (he is very quiet and friendly).
The water troughs for the horses will need to be checked every couple of days.
Our cat Ccino (pronounced 'Cheeno') is kept inside every night, He gets dry feed twice a day, and his litter tray tended to when needed. He is very social and loves human company, is likely to follow you around.
We prefer our house-sitter to be a non-smoker with clean living habits.
All of our previous house-sitters have loved the experience of living at our place.
We would love to hear from you if you are interested in house-sitting for us to experience the Northern Tablelands on a very peaceful property. Please contact us if you would like to chat further.

Wendy & Dave made this an extremely easy house/pet sit for me. Their detailed instructions for feeding & caring for their 5 horses and the most adorable cat were clear and easy to follow. Their new off-grid home was lovely, nestled in the grassy hills. I'll be very happy to horse-cat-house sit again for them.

It was a pleasure to return a second time to house sit for Wendy and Dave while they were away. They have a charming house on a very quiet property away from any roads, neighbours, noise or interuptions. I had a very relaxing time during my stay, going for walks in the hills and looking after the horses and Cino the cat, which was a breeze. I recommend getting in touch with them and to enjoy some time away from it all if you have the opportunity. Thanks Wendy and Dave.

Wendy and Dave are extremely nice, generous and friendly and made me feel very welcome. House sitting for them and looking after their cat and horses was a pleasure. They have a lovely house in a beautiful valley with a creek nearby and no neighbours in site so it is as peacful and relaxing as it gets. I look forward to sitting for them again in a few weeks!

Wendy and Dave are a most welcoming couple. Our handover was thorough and thoughtful. We loved the quiet country serenity of their home and the friendly pussy cat and horses. Most highly recommend.

I loved meeting Wendy and David at their off-grid mountain top house, which is very comfortable and clean and the setting is divine, especially if you like all things remote. Ccino the cat was easy to get on with and became very cuddly once we got acquainted and of course all the gorgeous horses were a treat to meet. Their daily feeds and care routine is quite intense though and sitters would definitely need to feel confident managing horses. Calico is a darling but was being a little bit ... MORE

Thankyou Gigi....all the best with wherever your path takes you.!
This was our first experience of a complete off the grid house sit and it worked well with us living in our caravan. The weather was challenging in a time of bush fires and smoky surroundings... but hey that's what we house sitters do!!! Wendy and Dave only having just moved onto the property themselves left us with instructions to keep us informed as to the care of their two lovely horses. I am sure by the next requirement for house sitters they will have made much progress in their ... MORE
