Description
We’re Louise and Andrew, and we’re looking for reliable, caring house sitters to look after our home and animals while we’re away. Ideally, we’d love a couple who enjoy rural living and have experience caring for horses and farm animals.
Our comfortable three-bedroom, single-storey home is in a lovely rural setting, approximately 20 minutes from Tauranga. It has all the modern conveniences, including fast internet, and is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the countryside.
Our animals and their care
We have three horses, one cat and one free-range rooster:
- Horses: Twice-daily feeding and welfare checks, along with checks of their water supply and fencing. Farm experience and confidence handling and caring for horses are essential.
- Cat: Feeding twice daily, along with company and attention.
- Rooster: Feeding morning and evening when he is around. He is free-range.
Home and garden
We’d appreciate you keeping our home clean and tidy and keeping an eye on the property. Garden care is minimal—just watering indoor plants and outdoor pots as needed.
The area
We’re close to McLaren Falls Park and the Omanawa Falls walkway, with plenty to see and do nearby. You can enjoy the peaceful country setting while still being within easy reach of Tauranga’s shops, cafés and restaurants.
Our ideal sitters
We’re looking for responsible, non-smoking sitters who will care for our animals and home as their own. A couple would be ideal given our rural location, and horse and farm experience is a must.
If this sounds like a good fit, please get in touch with a little about yourselves and your experience caring for horses and other animals. We’d love to hear from you!
