We need a house sitter

Regional NSW - Northern Tablelands

Wendy and Dave

Hi all,
We are Dave & Wendy and live on a secluded and tranquil 9 acre patch of serenity with no near neighbours approximately 7 km out of the small township of Guyra on the beautiful NSW Northern Tablelands. Guyra is 35 km north of Armidale and 60 km south of Glen Innes.

Our neat 2 bdrm cottage has a wood heater to keep you cosy and warm, with plenty of stacked firewood.
We are totally off-grid with a gas stove and gas hot water, and there is wifi internet.
We are definitely away from it all, our near neighbours just kangaroos, parrots and cattle in the surrounding large acreage properties and travelling stock route.

We have 2 horses that are fed twice a day.
One of our horses (Kalico is very quiet) is rugged/unrugged each morning and late afternoon during feed time, so it would be preferable if the house sitter is reasonably familiar and confident around horses. We can give a 'how to rug' refresher demonstration if needed, as we have done with one of our previous house sitters with great success.

We also have a cat that is kept indoors every night and is fed twice a day. 'Ccino' (pronounced as in 'capaccino') is very social with humans, he may be a little shy at first but once he gets to know you will likely follow you around even over to the stables.

The beautiful Northern Tablelands Spring is worth experiencing with beautiful blossoming trees and clean mountain air, and no humidity. If you think this fits you then contact us.

Wendy & Dave made this an extremely easy house/pet sit for me. Their detailed instructions for feeding & caring for their 5 horses and the most adorable cat were clear and easy to follow. Their new off-grid home was lovely, nestled in the grassy hills. I'll be very happy to horse-cat-house sit again for them.

Wendy and Dave are a most welcoming couple. Our handover was thorough and thoughtful. We loved the quiet country serenity of their home and the friendly pussy cat and horses. Most highly recommend.

I loved meeting Wendy and David at their off-grid mountain top house, which is very comfortable and clean and the setting is divine, especially if you like all things remote. Ccino the cat was easy to get on with and became very cuddly once we got acquainted and of course all the gorgeous horses were a treat to meet. Their daily feeds and care routine is quite intense though and sitters would definitely need to feel confident managing horses. Calico is a darling but was being a little bit ... MORE

Thankyou Gigi....all the best with wherever your path takes you.!
This was our first experience of a complete off the grid house sit and it worked well with us living in our caravan. The weather was challenging in a time of bush fires and smoky surroundings... but hey that's what we house sitters do!!! Wendy and Dave only having just moved onto the property themselves left us with instructions to keep us informed as to the care of their two lovely horses. I am sure by the next requirement for house sitters they will have made much progress in their ... MORE
