Real life farm-sit experience
We had an amazing house sit experience on Glynn and Julie's farm looking after all their fantastic animals. Glynn and Julie are really lovely people, they are generous and kind, welcoming and friendly, nice to be around and fun. While there are quite a few tasks required in the day to day running of the farm, Glynn and Julie had us well prepared as they took us through each individual job, allowed us to do it ourselves and answered any questions that we had. We arrived two days before our house sit commenced and we would recommend the same to future house sitters so that you are comfortable and prepared with the job ahead. All the animals on the farm are wonderful, they will become your friends, you will get up each morning and be excited to see them. They have eight adorable dogs, each with their own lovable character and if you are a doggy person, they will be an absolute pleasure for you to look after. They are very well behaved and their dinner time routine goes like clockwork. The rest of the animals which include sheep, ducks, geese, chickens, turtles and a very intelligent and lovable pig are easy to care for and require no more than a couple of hours work each day. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity house sit, that will reward you with a unique adventure, with interesting animals in a beautiful, tranquil location. If you are not afraid to put on a pair of boots and get your hands a little bit dirty then this is the house sit for you.. Money can't buy a real life experience like this. Thank you Glynn and Julie.
