I need someone to look after a dog a couple of cats, some chickens, couple of pigs, goats and some horses. All are very friendly. Have a small two bedroom off grid house on a bush block near Colac Bay.

My house sit was for one week and it was lovely. I enjoyed the daily routine feeding all the pets/animals. Greg explained really clear what i have to do and showed me some of the property.

The sea is also close and you get always help at the farm if you need some! I would do it again. I say thank you!

Taking care of Greg’s horses, ponies, hens, pigs, Tui the dog and Mittens and Buttons (cats) was a pleasure.

We really enjoyed our 3 week stay at Greg's. Greg is a very nice guy and made our stay very comfortable. He was patient with us and explained everything we needed to know about the animals very clearly. The location is awesome with amazing views. We loved looking after such varied range of animals and will miss them all...especially Buttons.

Greg is such and amazing, kind and thoughtful person! I had an incredible and lovely experience taking care of all of the animals, and sitting the farm and house.

It was a super fun and amazing experience. I 100% recommend sitting for him, ... MORE
