We need a house sitter

Region: Auckland - Auckland - South

House Owner: Rhonda

We are in Bombay Auckland. Situated on just on 2 acres lifestyle block. House is old but does have a heat pump. Has 4 small paddocks and a barn and donkey shelter area. Need to be confident with donkeys or know about horses, They are 2 jennies with nice nature but can be cheeky bossy at times and their feed is small feeds of hay and paddock grass which I will discuss how this is done.
The 2 donkeys which have their own shelter concrete yard and paddock if weather good. 2 x farm cats that just need feeding. Possibly may still have 16 sheep grazing that just need monitoring and water checked.
Have 10 chickens that have their own chicken house and are fed once a day and chicken house droppings picked up inside shelter once a day, collection of any eggs.
Various tropical fish which are fed once a day.
We have 2 dogs border collie and a heading dog x collie but they may be coming with us.
No major gardening more important is care of animals.

Communication was good before and during our stay. Although it's a bit out of town, it is easy to get to shops if you have a car. Rhonda ensured we had neighbour's contact information, but we were fine throughout the stay. Lovely rural outlook and peace ... MORE
