Farm stay: 15 alpaca, 2 cats, 1 house with housemate

About this assignment

Hey, you need to be fit and able to lift a bale of hay! Winter can be tough in the fields, so get ready. Will need to have a car so that you can get around.

What responsibilities are required of the house sitter

Feed the alpaca twice a day, fill the hay racks, top up the water and break the ice. Keep the cats apart so they don't fight. My husband will be there to feed them. Keep an eye on the property so that if something goes wrong we're on it quick.

What are the good features of the property and location

Quiet. Remote. Just a mile from town by car. The south wing of the house is very nice to say in and the main house is beautiful.

What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment

Going outside in all weathers. Sharing the main house with my husband - but you can be in the south wing and not in the main house if you choose. Keeping yourself busy through the day once the farm chores are done because we are a farm.

Can I bring my own pets?

No, sorry.
