Description
I live on a 3 acre smallholding in the middle of the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. I have 1 dog (Raya), 6 chickens and a rooster. There is no mobile phone coverage here but I do have excellent internet (Starlink) which allows for WiFi calling on some networks but not SMS text messaging. Although it is VERY remote here, it does have its bonuses, e.g., dark skies so stargazing is amazing! Lots of wildlife to see as well.

Help
I'm looking for someone to housesit and look after my dog and chickens on two separate occasions - although I am quite happy for one house sitter to stay for the entire period but I will be at home for some time so will be able to take you sightseeing.
