    Description

    Hi
    We're a family of four, with two teenage daughters and three pets, two dogs and a cat, whose names are Jack, Tangi and Spriggan.
    We live on a small old farm that we have slowly done up over the past few years, and now use the Barn as a live music venue.
    Our place includes 3/4 of an acre of paddock that is overlooked by the main trainline.
    We've great neighbours, but they're not close so you really are in a great relaxed space.
    There's plenty of outdoor areas with sofas, BBQ etc.
    We're looking for someone to look after the pets whilst we're away on holiday, long weekends etc.
    It's really easy, feed them, open the door and they take themselves out!

    It's a great place to relax and escape, you go use the extensive music collection in the barn or watch your favourite sports/movies on the big screen in front of the log fire.
    We've two large dogs, and a cat who treat the sofas as their own! They're really easy to look after, feed them and open the back door.
