Hi
Have been officially house/farm/pet sitting since August 2019.
Have looked after horses, dogs, cats, fish, cows, goats, chickens, sheep, guinea fowl and (successfully) looking after incubator of guinea fowls.
I have always had animals of my own including most listed above but also geese and a lizard.
My last sit of 2.5months was looking after a 20,000+ acre crop and sheep farm near Kendenup Western Australia. This was a large property and daily I would:
*check all the sheep driving a Polaris and deal with any flyblow, or other issues.
*Rotate sheep according to plan (with the help of a working dog)
*Check dams
* Report in to son who lived and worked elsewhere.
*Care for 2 horses. groom and put on fly veils
blankets if necessary.
*Check fences
*Put out feed for lambs using Ute and feeder trailer
*Did some maintenance around and inside the house
*Gardening
*moving fallen trees off of road accesses
*Remove and dispose of any dead animals on property
Previous farm sits:
Flinders Ranges of South Australia where I cared for at first 13 horses, cow, sheep, dog, cat and chickens. At separate times two horses developed colic and I attended to these with the assistance of neighbours and in constant contact with owner. Looked after the water supply (Bore and rainwater tanks) ensuring bore and tanks were working and that troughs were filling and clean. Cleaned out troughs. Looked after gardens and fruit trees.
I would also go and get more feed if necessary from Fodder stores.
Looked after fences, electric and ring lock and barbed wire etc.
Helped to erect new fences.
Flinders Ranges SA beef cattle property. Looked after house and two Jack Russels, horses and gardens.
Have limited experience on tractors (need more practice) :)
Previous to this have looked after:
farm at Wye SA (cattle). gardens
farm near Lismore, cows and goats and dog and chooks etc
Property up a Barrine Qld. Horses and dog and yards.
Cairns, 2 story unit cat and fish and plants.
I came down through all the big bushfires and looked after these and other properties during bushfires. On one property I evacuated with all animals and stayed in contact with owners.
CURRENTLY IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA in the South. Have been at:
Nannup large property
Kendenup large property
Margaret River [Current] House and dog till 13th Oct. 2023
Benger farm - many animals
Australind - house and two dogs
Kojonup - farm house, gardens, dogs, cats, fish
I am a mature single lady , clean habits, non smoker, reliable and trustworthy. Have excellent sitting history and referees. Have National Police Clearance and previously when working, DCSI Clearances.
I like gardening and animals and music and do much more. I am currently having a break from work and house sitting my way around this beautiful country of ours.
Will give most things a go but also know my limits and only if safety measures are in place if animals have any behavioural issues.
Thank you for your time
Pam
