We need a house sitter

Nelson / Marlborough - Tasman

Tina

We are looking for a house sitter for our place in the beautiful Aniseed Valley, only 15 minutes from Richmond. We are an easy walk to the river and reserves, 10 minutes drive to the Hacket.

The house is two storey with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Wooden floors inside and recently renovated kitchen. The house is set among mature trees, with a large deck, and plenty of Kereru and Tui's around.

We have a young cat and an older dog, two ponies, four pet sheep and nine chickens.

Our ideal sitter is tidy and responsible, has experience with animals and rural properties. In particular experience with horses is desirable. If that sounds like you, please get in touch.

The horses, sheep and chickens were all easy care while Hank the dog and Lily the cat were really great company. There was excellent communication throughout and we were provided with clear and detailed written information on what was required. We would have no hesitation looking after the animals and property again should the opportunity ... MORE
