We need a house sitter

Northern Victoria - Macedon Ranges

Linda

Hello there, we are looking for a mature responsible person or couple who is attentive, kind and gentle. (2 people max).

We have 2 cats that are super independant. (one is playful and the other is placid). They will go in and out themselves through the cat door.
We also have 4 chickens and 6 ducks with their own pond.
Poultry are all free range by day and locked up by night.

Tasks would involve daily feeding, opening the coop at sunrise and closing the at dusk. (Note: There will be small amounts of droppings to clean out of the coop required).

Someone with poultry experience will get first priority, but not essential, just someone not afraid of birds.
There is also some small watering of veggie patch area and pot plants.

We are on about 1000sqm, backing right onto the beautiful park in Woodend. Very quiet area, I am sure you will enjoy relaxing with the pets and going for daily walks.

The area is great for exploring, close to the famous Hanging Rock, Mount Macedon Hikes, Cafe's, Farmer Markets and wineries.

The house is cosy, set up with everything you need (just bring your own food). I have a nice clean room ready, with a double bed of your own.

Just a couple of small requests, please no dogs because my cats and chickens get very spooked by dogs, no parties, and no smoking inside.

Thanks very much for your interest.

I had an excellent stay at Linda and Josh’s place. They’re both super relaxed and easy to communicate with, which is reflected in their home. The two cats are lovely and very easy to care for, independent and each with their own personalities: Alfie is feisty and playful, Chloe is mellow and gentle. It was great fun looking after ducks for the first time, and the chooks were also placid and easy care. Woodend is a fantastic location to explore, and I was fortunate to be there for the excellent ... MORE

Peaceful sit and location in lovely Woodend. Clear and regular communication, the birds and cats were easy to care for 😊

I really enjoyed my recent house-sit for Linda and Josh. The communication was excellent at all times, and Linda gave me a thorough walk-through on what was expected. Their home is lovely and tranquil, the two cats friendly, as were the chickens and ducks, and the whole environs was simply lovely, the ducks even having their own backyard pond! The house was warm and cozy,, with absolutely everything you could possibly need, and a lovely bedroom for the house-sitter. Woodend is a beautiful town ... MORE

I enjoyed a lovely long weekend with Linda’s ducks, chickens and cats. The highlight was the new ducklings. Clear information was provided for care of the animals and the home was very comfy on a hot weekend. Woodend is also an interesting town to explore. I’d recommend this housesit.

Most enjoyable sit at Woodend caring for two lovely cats plus five chickens and four ducks. With the warmer weather conditions had to ensure that they had plenty of water that kept me busy plus the feeding routine. Thankyou Linda for the good experience at your home.

Linda and her animals were a delight to deal with. Clear concise communication and an easy quiet housesit. The animals were gorgeous. Thank you and would be more than happy to house sit for you again.

Lovely place. Ducks were super cool to look after. Cats were super chill and easy going. House was nice and comfortable. Defs would do it again as I also love Woodend and the Mt Macedon ranges.
