CoupleWe took care of a lifestyle farm with 30 sheep, a horse and farm dog from Jan 2004- January 2006. We were allowed to get milking goats, and chickens and added a second lease horse over that time. Michelle did a general farm skills course with our oldest son Nathan at the end of 2017. This is our main experience, but have rented houses on farms with both cows and sheep over the last twenty years. Lots of goat experience as we've had them since 2004, with our biggest herd milked of 7 does and a buck with 15 kids one at one point. We can all ride farm bikes and quads.

An animal loving mature couple hoping to spend some time closer to our grandchildren in Hawke's Bay.
Hubby's work has given him three months to work outside of Auckland, with the arrival of our grandson.
Depending on the time frames either both of us or one of us may be available.
We have milking goats, a 3,2 kg Shih Tzu, Bichon, Maltese, Poodle cross, Yofi, who goes everywhere with Michelle ( including when she is a care giver for an autistic adult man & when she plays tennis) Our 14 year old cat, Tigress will remain home with our eldest son.
We've had free-lease horses and up to three cats, plus chickens and raised two ducklings, while overseeing around 30 sheep from 2004-2005 .
Thank you Jason & Michelle.
We really appreciated the love and kindness you showed to us & our pets.
We were so amazed to come back to our clean home with everything done so I could rest.
You are a lovely family and anyone who has the pleasure of you house sitting for them are lucky.
Very kind and caring people who are tidy and engaging.
It was a very unfortunate situation that occurred to have left them leaving earlier than anticipated but managed to assist in finding an alternative sitter which I didn't feel comfortable in accepting. However there was a backup plan in place which was fine.
I did feel that having their own dog with them made it a bit of a struggle especially with sitting mine as well due to age and sex in dogs.
Very lovely people though.
Michelle was easy to communicate with. Jason, Michelle and the boys left the house extremely tidy. Both pets were not stressed on our return. Highly recommend.
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
