Laundry/mud room has been done up with floor heating.

We would love a couple who have been on farms before, to apply as we do have a few sheep and two horses. ****We have a wonderful neighborhood, who would jump in to assist anyone if they need help with anything.

Our main reason for House sitters is our house dogs, and two cats. We would welcome anyone who wanted to visit us to see if this would suit them, OH and us.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We live about 8 kms out of a small town of Buninyong about 30 minutes or less from Ballarat. Buninyong has all that you need, supermarkets etc. We also have easy access to Geelong (about 1 Hour). Our road we live in is extremely friendly and we have all looked after each others pets and homes.

We are a small farm with a small amount of sheep. We have three house dogs, a little sausage dog and a whipped cross dachshund and a retired old friendly sheep dog.

We have two cats, one of which lives upstairs and rarely is ever seen and one friendly orange cat.

Just need someone who loves pets and animals as ours are very spoilt.
