We need a house sitter

Regional NSW - Central West Slopes

Sally

We are going to be away and need someone to care for our free range rabbit, Pedro. six bantam chickens, and some little fish. We also have a small herb garden and pot plants that will need watering on hot days.

The dates can be flexible, pending.

Pedro spends most of her day outside in the backyard and comes inside at night (sometimes, but not often - she lets you know). She roams around where she likes. To care for Pedro requires fresh water and grass/hay put out. Apart from that you just need to let her in/out of the house. She's safe in the yard, and is minimal maintenance. She's a Rex Rabbit so doesn't shed much and most people with allergies are fine with her. She loves head pats but doesn't like being picked up.

The house itself has one queen room and two child rooms - one with a single bed, and the other with two single beds. Two living areas, two bathrooms and a large kitchen. Nice quiet area of Mudgee. New build house. Wifi, Netflix and Stan sport.

Note: Mudgee is a 3.5 hour drive west of Sydney. There is public transport (via a train then bus) to Mudgee once per day.

Note 2: There is very little public transport in Mudgee, and none to our house. You will need a car. Our house is about 3.5km to the supermarket.

It was great to stay in Mudgee. Sally's home was very comfortable and Pedro the rabbit is so adorable. The chooks provided lots of entertainment Thanks again Sally! 😊

It was really nice and easy to take care of Pedro, the chooks and the fishes. The house is clean and comfortable on a quiet neighbourhood and Sally was very relaxed and easy to communicate. Thank you Sally ✨🥰

This was a lovely, easy housesit. Sally was friendly and made us feel very welcome. She provided clear instructions and was easily contactable if required. Her home was clean and well maintained and offered all comforts. The pets were a delight and we really enjoyed caring for Pedro the rabbit, four chooks and some fish :) Very easy and great fun!!

Lovely housesit. Pedro is adoreable, very easy to care for. House was new, very clean and comfortable. We didnt meet Sally and her family but communication was great. Would love to housesit again in the future. Thank you again Sally

Thanks Sally. It was a pleasure on our behalf as well. Thanks for selecting us and it was just as easy for us as it was for you. Pedro was a nervous bunny to start with, but by mid-week she was happily hopping towards us whenever we got down to her level. The house was great. Modern appliances, all the TV options you could want and a wood fire that kept us warm throughout. Mudgee was great. Love the surrounding mountains and there was plenty in town and surrounds to keep us ... MORE

We had a lovely time in Mudgee! The house is really nice and Pedro is so easy to look after, she is a cutie! It was very easy and quick to communicate with Sally and she gave us some good tips for exploring the area. We would definitely go there again!

No rating Sally and Simon were accommodating from the get go. Flexible, easy to communicate with and welcoming are just some of the words that spring to mind...Lovely people and lovely home and we couldnt ask for a happier house sit. Looking after Pedro was a breeze and we fell in love with her immediately. We wouldnt think twice about house sitting here again. What a pleasant all around experience!
