This is a unique opportunity for a farm stay. We are looking for in-house care for our cat and two dogs. We have arrangements for the barn animals but if interested you would be welcome to pitch in with their care as well. We have horses, sheep, goats, alpacas and chickens. Just hanging out with the animals is a treat as they are all so different. Farm fresh eggs are available if you get to them before they freeze!
This is a beautiful spot; very peaceful and private. We have acres of bush with trails and lots of wildlife living in there. We are on a gravel road and town is only ten minutes away for basic shopping.
The house is a century fieldstone farmhouse. We think it's lovely and it is a bit quirky as old houses can be with old pine plank floors and tall ceilings. Most rooms are heated with radiators, a few have in-floor heat - all from an outdoor wood burning furnace. It only needs "fed" twice daily but you will have help keeping it going.
In terms of location we are hours north and west of Toronto, and an hour south of Tobermory.
The ideal person(s) for this house-sit will be someone who loves animals and nature and who appreciates rural life. The dogs will need to be let out morning, afternoon and night. The cat litter box will need to be cleaned. They will all need feeding daily and snuggled ad lib. We will appreciate you cleaning up after yourself and leaving things as you found them. There are laundry facilities in-house, wifi, a dishwasher, vacuum, linens, etc.
It's hard to address all your possible questions so if you are interested and need more info, please contact me and I'd be happy to add details as needed.
Thank you for reading this - Best of luck in your own search.
