About this house sitting position in Ferndale

Hello my name is Erin, and my 3 free-ranging chickens are Betty, Mary & Mabel.

We are looking for a special human (or humans) to care for them for 8 nights over xmas/new year. I will be away the morning of Tuesday 24th Dec, and returning Noon of Wed 1st Jan.

Ideally, the housesitter is able to learn the ropes of the house and chooks by Monday 23rd December. You are welcome to stay the night if that fits in.

OUR HOME:
- Tidy and cosy 3x2 in Perth's southern suburbs which hugs the Canning River Reserve (lots of bird life, walking/riding paths nearby)
- It's a quiet street, safe neighbourhood with friendly neighbours.
- Walking distance or quick drive to shops, entertainment, public transport etc.
- Please note that we are on a flight path. Whilst the locals are used to it, guests may not be.
- Internet and Netflix are available and unlimited.
- The driveway is big enough to host a caravan/motorhome.
- The room is furnished with a double bed, cupboard & drawers.


THE IDEAL HOUSESITTER:
- Mature/Senior single/couple
- Reliable and friendly
- Comfortable with free-ranging chickens (includes scooping poop, washing down pavement, watering garden beds on hot days)
- Have a minimum of two references of previous housesits


VISITORS/SOCIAL GATHERINGS:
-Our home also hosts a registered business, therefore I ask for no unauthorised visitors. The house is not to be used for parties or the consumption of drugs.


THE CHOOKS:
- Betty, Mary & Mabel are 12 months old. Being free-range chooks they are quite spoilt and friendly.
- They can be described as: Betty is a go-getter and very confident, Mary is aloof and curious, and Mabel is the quieter personality but the most vocal.
- Their poop is scooped up daily or watered into the lawn.
- Their coop door and feed are automated. You just need to check of a night time that their automatic door has closed, refresh water bowl daily and give them treats.


MY 3 'L' REQUESTS:
1) LOCK the doors
2) LEAVE the house in the same condition
3) LOVE and enjoy our little sanctuary, and LOVE their super free-range eggs


I look forward to hearing from you :)
