About

The property we live in is located in downtown Riverstone in a quiet road not far from shops and restaurants and also local transport (bus and train). It's an old house newly refurbished. A split system available in the living room keeps the house warm in winter and cool in summer.
We have a long garden at the back with a shed, a small aviary, a guinea pig hutch and a few hives. That means topping up with water and food every 2-3 days. BBQ available!
The house has 3 bedrooms; two looking at the backyard, one looking at the side of the house.
Electric top kitchen with all appliances including dishwasher and a new oven. Water is heated by electric water tank. Tiny laundry attached to it with a big sink, a washing machine and a microwaves.
Undercover parking right outside the house with direct access to the front door ideal for rainy days and bringing the shopping in.
We have a family of cute guinea pigs living in their pen outside the house where they are safe from weather and potential predators. They need their guinea pig pellets and water containers topped up every couple of days and they really enjoy daily fresh food treats when possible. We give them carrot, cabbage, celery, fresh grass, herbs and a bit of fruit depending on availability,
Outside, at the back of the house, we have 10 hives but our honeybees don't need looking after as they do their own thing. We also have a medium size veggie patch at the back. We would like our sitter to look after our pets and plants and watch our house for us during the 1 week we are away. A couple of days either way is fine with us as pets can do without feeding for a day or two.

Pets & farm animals

Guinea Pigs are easy, They need topping up with water and food every couple of days and daily treats are an option they really enjoy but it's not necessary. A family of girls and their piglets live together in a big pen and two males live by themselves in separate cages so they don't fight. <br />Our birds are all aviary birds. We have canaries, finches, quails and budgies all living together in harmony. They need their food and water topped up every couple of days and fresh treats are also an option from time to time. chickens water and food topped up

House Tasks

Please collect any mail that comes through and keep an eye on the watering system (front garden and veggie patch) to make sure it's working and not leaking. Lawn will be done before we leave and we assume it wouldn't need doing in the 2 week period we are away.
