About

We are seeking a house sitter to stay in our house for 6 weeks, look after our two dogs, two cats. We also have 6 cows and 7 alpacas however we can ask our neighbors to check in on them if required. The cats get fed twice a day and the dogs get fed at night. The cows and alpacas need to be fed a couple of times a week and you will need to check that the self filling water troughs are full every couple of days.

The dogs will need to be walked twice a day on a lead as they cannot be trusted around the cattle. We are seeking a house sitter to stay full time as the dogs will try and escaped if left alone for an extended period of time.

We have a 3 bedroom home with plenty of room to park a caravan over looking the hills around Boolarra South. We live on 23 acres and are connected to the town power. Water is provided via a water tank and the gas is provided by bottles. We have off grid capability with the Solar and Battery system, as well as a backup key start generator if needed.

All of our animals are rescues and come with their own set of challenges. Seeking a single or couple to come and enjoy the country life while loving our family of animals the way we do. Some of the animals will need a little bit of TLC and don't be alarmed if a dog or cat wants to join you in the bed at night. Yes, "Pow Pow" wars do occur when the dogs get too close to the cats personal space. A swift right hook from the cats put the dogs back in their place.

We have Foxtel, Starlink Internet and the normal TV stations. This is the perfect place if you want to work remotely as we have been doing this for the past four years.

The cows and alpacas keep the grass to a suitable level, but there may be a need to give the home paddock a quick cut with the ride on mower once a fortnight.
