Farmsitter - 2 weeks in June in Victoria
Looking for an experienced farm person with young dog experience for approx 2.5 weeks in May/June. Looking for someone to start around 28-29th May and to finish on 17th June.
Location is 1.25hrs from Melbourne near the town of Warragul.
There will be a worker that comes every day to look after the horses and clean the stables but what I'm looking for is someone (or a couple) to:
- look after 2 young farm dogs - both 14months old. They are inside dogs who are outside with you and require a run (on the quad bike or mower) twice per day. They are super friendly but still sleep quite a bit. Lots of ball games and cuddles.
- look after 1 cat - who pretty much looks after herself.
- feed and collect eggs from 6 chickens.
- occasionally tip feed buckets into the horse's stables.
Depending on day you arrive, you'd have 2-3 days of training/routine practice.
In return you get:
- payment for each week
- most food
- accommodation obviously
- free wifi
- pay tv subscriptions to catch up on all your favourite shows
- lovely home with stunning views in a beautiful part of the world
You must have dog and preferably farm experience.
Must be trustworthy and reliable
Must be able to commit to the ALL 2.5 weeks
Great opportunity for someone who wants to rest and recoup from travelling or someone looking for a paid break.
If you are competent and love animals and nature, this is a great assignment for you :)
Can be a couple however payment is for the week for the task - you'd have to split the payment between you.
Please message to apply and for further details.
