Description

I need an intelligent, responsible adult to come farm sit our 13 acre property when there is no one here for more than 24 hours. I have 3 horses, 3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 chickens and a duck. That’s it!

However, my dogs are Maremmas. They are naturally aloof with strangers and patting one without proper introduction is NOT recommended. Especially with my older Maremma, that is why I prefer to tie them up when I go away, so there is no fighting between dogs or any other issues for the carer to worry about.

My horses are Arabians. They aren’t shod and don’t require a great deal of care. Depending on time of year, they may only need someone casting an eye over them, and checking the water trough (e.g. in summer). Other times, they might need hay put in nets and hung out.

The third little dog and the cat reside in the house, they are super nice and easy to look after. The chickens are ridiculously easy to feed and keep watered. They come into their coop of a night time and you just go give them some scraps and shut the door. That’s it.

Please, no aged people that find it difficult to take 2 steps, or obese people that struggle to move properly (no offence, but this is a farm and you must be physically able to walk 500 metres to the bottom paddock as needed). Children are ok, but only under the proviso that you look after them at all times, don’t let them near the big dogs at all please, and only let children near horses if they are horse savvy. My horses are incredibly lovely and have never kicked or bitten, but a small child wondering into the path of a frightened horse can still get hurt, so bear that in mind.

Our dates are actually quite flexible at this stage, because it all depends on me finding a suitable person to farm sit!
