Assignment Requirements

We have a 6 acre property in Central West NSW - 4 min drive to the quaint village of Millthorpe and 18 min drive to Orange NSW. At this time of year we normally receive crisp and cold days and some chance of snow. Our property is about 1,000m above sea level.

We require animal lovers to come and look after two dogs (Australian Shepherd and little Pugalier), our 3 cats (2 ragdolls and British blue), cockatiel and two Llamas, two goats and 5 chickens.

The goats, llamas, chickens and cockatiel are pretty self sufficient and would basically require 2-3 feeds for the stay and just check water is topped up. Our dogs and cats would naturally require food and water every day.

Most of our trees and plants are on a watering system so don’t require any attention however we have a number of pots around the house that require a water every few days.

We love our animals and would require the minders to stay in our house with our dogs, cats and bird for their attention and company. Our house has all the creature comforts with fire place to keep you warm and ducted aircon and is quite large at around 400 squares. Externally there is plenty of room to park a caravan / car for storage for those travelling through seeking some luxury for a few weeks.

Suburb Insights

Awaken to the sounds of kookaburras, not traffic, in Forest Reefs. Your mornings here will often begin with a quiet circuit around the property or along the few unsealed lanes nearby, letting the resident dogs stretch their legs while you take in the cool air. The low light reveals kangaroos grazing in distant paddocks, a calm start for both you and your charges. This rural rhythm encourages unhurried moments before the day warms, setting a gentle tone for pet routines. Midday offers a chance for the pets to nap in sunny spots indoors or under a shaded veranda. You might find yourself observing the vast sky, catching up on a book, or tending to the home's routines. For pet supplies or personal groceries, a drive into Orange provides access to necessities without the rush of city life. Consider visiting a local farm gate for fresh produce, an authentic regional experience that fits the unhurried pace. As the sun dips, painting the horizon in soft hues, the evening routine settles in. A final gentle stroll with the animals before they settle for the night might reveal a star-filled sky largely free of light pollution. The quiet of Forest Reefs truly defines the evenings; the only sounds often being the rustling leaves or distant livestock. This encourages a restful atmosphere for pets and people alike, making your home-base experience genuinely tranquil, fostering a sense of peace for everyone under your care.
