Looking for friendly easygoing responsible and reliable singles or couples ( sorry, no young children). Experience witth farm type animals preferred but not absolutely neccesary, you just have to be able to be in charge and not worried about getting your hands a little dirty! Digital nomads or retired/self employed people preferred. A car is neccesary here. The May/June dates are still a little flexible at this point but will probably be about 3 weeks total. The summer dates are flexible too.
Care for my home and animals. Feeding and cleaning takes about 15/20 minutes am and pm, some watering seasonally, it’s really not that much work! Also, there is an AirBNB on the property, semi detached from the house, of which I am responsible for all management, communication and cleaning, but would like my sitters to be a friendly and helpful presence to the guests, for which I will pay a small percentage of the net.
Quiet, cozy home with funny and friendly animals to keep you company. I also have 10 5 star reviews from sitters from other housesitting sites that I can share with you.
A car is needed so prefer sitters that are close enough to drive or have the resources to rent. I have occasionally loaned my car but it is not my preference. If having a mini farm yourself is your dream, this is a great opportunity to try it on for size!
No, sorry.
Testimonials
A farm stay that will leave you feeling rewarded and uplifted
Where should I start? What an amazing 7 weeks experience at Nina’s farmhouse. I simply lucked out getting this house sitting experience. I had taken care of dogs and cats before, but I never had any exposure taking care of farm animals. Normally Nina requires some experience, but she took a leap and faith and entrusted me. I was open minded, I was curious, I was willing to learn, I was willing to take instructions, I was willing to own up to my mistakes (trust me, mistakes will happen), and was willing to be all in. It paid off. I felt like I went through 7 weeks of farming academy and came out of it with a more sense of grounded confidence, a more empathic view towards all animals and a more appreciation of the rhythm and slow living lifestyle of a farmer.
