Maggie

Hi there
we are looking for a reliable person to care for our large and small pets as well as some life stock while we are travelling the South Island for the whole of April. 
We run a professional equestrian business on our property but the business will be shut and we won’t have any client horses over that time. There will be 4 of our own horses to feed and check once or twice daily and maybe move paddocks a couple of times during this time. Therefore it would be great if you’re comfortable with handling horses. We also have a small flock of sheep and mob of calves, which will need checking and possibly moving to a new paddock once or twice. Our house is seperate, modern and warm with a large garden. Our two medium sized dogs have the garden to roam and live at the house. Both are very friendly and should be easy care with daily feeding and some cuddles. The lawn might require mowing a couple of times, which takes about an hour but we can organise someone to look after that if needed. Some small parts of the garden might need watering from time to time.
The house is private, has a good wifi connection, a lovely kitchen with nice living space and space to park a caravan or camper. We are rural but not too far from anywhere. It’s about 20min from Hamilton, 15min from Cambridge and a good 10min from Waikato Uni. 
We have family that live about 30min away, who might be able help with any issues and also have a very friendly neighbour, who has offered to lend a hand.
Ideally we are after a mature person or couple, who have experience in caring for life stock and can commit fully to the dates agreed on. Minimum period is 26.03.- 03.05.
Feel free to ask me any questions!

Kind regards 
Maggie
