Needs and animals

Animals with specific needs | Big garden | 1 Cat | 10 Farm animals

We have a very shy, timid indoor cat. You need to make sure he does not go outside his enclosed area by checking that doors are not left open. You need to give him lots of attention and brushing to win his trust.

We have 8 chickens and 5 growing chicks who need to be cared for. They free range in a small field during the day and are closed in at night and let out in the morning by automatic doors. They are also fed and watered twice a day.

The house has a lot of land which generally will not need any attention other than possible grass cutting using a ride on lawn mower. Some external plants will require occasional watering.

Additional information about these dates

The START DATE is the day we would like the house sitter to arrive at our home. We would depart the following day. We like to spend this gap period getting the house sitter familiar with the pets and the property. The END DATE is the day the house sitter would leave. We would arrive back late afternoon/early evening the day before. This gap gives us a safety margin for the pet care in case we encounter unforeseen difficulties on our journey home.

We thank Bob and Alix for the great experience in their home. Ralfie the cat is friendly with his own character. The chickens delighted us with their eggs. Thanks to clear instructions everything went well.
