Hello all possible Horse and House Sitters ! We are animal and nature lovers who are looking for the right couple to take care of our animals and property and give lots of TLC. We are offering a private apartment with utilities paid for the couple. Our best experiences have been with applicants who are amazing with our animals, love our property and are happy to have a team spirit with us even when we are not home.We do make sure our is property is clean and comfortable for your arrival. Our horses are our main critters right now and they are very smart and very friendly.
The horses get food and hay twice a day,. We groom them and do their feet twice a week My husband and I generally clean stalls in the am and pm. and feed am and pm.Mid day, the horses are turned out for a bit more exercise. In the evening, the schedule is the same including checking their water ouside and in their stalls . Our boys are friendly and we are looking for a couple or an individual who understand horses and are gentle with how they work with horses. Elvis is 28 and is an Appendex cross and our mini, Winnie is 2 . The boys spend time in their outdoor paddocks,in pasture and in their stalls in the barn as well as being turned out in their pastures or in the arena.
We are looking for a couple who have worked with horses and have knowledge regarding horsecare. Please know we cannot accept anyone who has not have Horsecare experience.
We do ask for help mowing some lawn areas on the property, especially in the Spring. Experience with
a sitting mower and a weed wacker is also important.
Winter-wise , there is a pool which is covered and needs
to be checked often during cold weather and during rain.
We have a pump which is easy work to place on the cover so it can pump the water off.
You will find our property and the apartment, comfortable and inviting and the surrounding landscape is a lovely and tranquil enviornment.In exchange for a private apartment and utilities ,we hope to find sitters who are interested in a trade with us so everyone is happy about the Sit.
We do stay for usually a couple days initially to help our sitters become accustomed to our horses and the work on the property. That way we can help explain anything that might need tending to in our absence as well as the Horses' schedule.
We do maintain a smoke free home so we cannot accept any applicants who smoke or vape .
Sitters are provided with a separate, private apartment
with utilities and laundry access included.
As homeowners we take great pride in having a safe and
peaceful property. We do travel for work during the sit
times, however we will return during the Housesitter's
stay to help with any additional property work.
Sitters can prearrange to take time off when we return so we can include these dates on all of our calendars.
Location is near ocean and Mountains and near Discovery Bay , Washington. Location close to town .
You should have a car to take this sit.
Please know we cannot accept sitters with dogs or cats or other animals. .Also, unfortunately our home is not for families, only for a couple or an individual.
Thank you for viewing our listing, we look forward to hearing from you.
