About this house sitting position in Okehampton
Smallholding farm. Remote and beautiful. 6 chickens ,12 sheep to be fed. 9 year old jack Russell called Tess.
My husband Kevin has retired and I work as a sales director for a global food company and we moved to Devon 5 years ago.
We have renovated a beautiful farmhouse up a mile long track so it is remote but beautiful. We have a hot tub in a barn which you could use..
The chickens are kept in a very large run in the orchard and need to be fed and put away into their house at night. The sheep need to be fed in the morning and checked. Water troughs to be filled..
Tess the dog is rescued and great with older people but cannot be with other dogs so she is exercised around the farm.
We also feed our wild birds daily and you will see everything from woodpeckers, pheasants and finches.
It’s truly idyllic here but we need to be able to find reliable and trustworthy sitters so we can have time away.
