We need a house sitter

Northland - Kaipara

Kirstin

We need someone to look after our 2 cats, 1 dog, 17 Cows (feeding out and moving from paddock to paddock ie. open gate, call them through, close gate) and 15 or so Chickens and 2 Pigs while we are away in the school holidays.

We're located 7 mins from Kaiwaka, 10 mins from Maungaturoto, and 20 mins from Magical Mangawhai. There is lots to do in the area.

Our house is modern and low maintenance in a quiet rural location. You will have access to the Wifi, There is plenty of firewood for the woodburner which will keep the house toasty warm on a cold evening, and as many eggs as you can eat....

The animals are used to someone being around mostly during the week, the Dog likes to hang out with people and will burn off his energy himself, although he does love a walk or run. The cats often bring presents that need disposal so you'll need to be happy to deal with them.

We also have a nursery and greenhouse with plants which will need some watering and standing up depending on the weather.

Like so many parts of the north island the wet weather was somewhat frustrating but oh well so be it. Wonderful instruction booklet and also going over everything from them (as well as Sophia) before they departed. Regular communication was wonderful and indeed needed with a minor challenge when cattle broke through electric fence and ... MORE

Had a lovely stay at Kirstin's house - comfortable, clean, welcoming, well behaved pets and awesome instructions for the house and animals, with plenty support from neighbours and friends! The week went super quick and we loved every minute of our stay! Thanks for having us!
