Our main need from October 2026 onwards is farm sitting while we are away travelling. This involves looking after our little farm and caring for our animals: one dog, four cats and three sheep. Daily tasks include feeding the animals, making sure they are safe and happy, and keeping an eye on the property.

Occasionally, we may also appreciate a little help with seasonal tasks in our private garden, such as watering plants, light gardening or helping to keep the outdoor spaces tidy. These tasks are secondary to animal care and are not part of any commercial activity.
We have had wonderful experiences with farm sitters in the past and would love to welcome more people who enjoy animals, nature and a peaceful countryside setting. We are looking for reliable, responsible and caring people who are comfortable around animals and happy to look after our home while we take some time to travel.
In return, you can enjoy the tranquillity of our property, surrounded by forests, hills and a little creek in beautiful southern Slovakia.
A little more about us
We’ve known each other since we were thirteen and have been sharing our lives since 2010. Back then, we never imagined that one day we’d end up living on a farm in Slovakia, but here we are!
We’ve built a life here that revolves around nature, the changing seasons and all the little things that make a place feel like home.
Sabine loves photography, herbs, making natural products and getting creative with whatever nature has to offer. Yvon enjoys working with wood, making things, exploring new paths and spending time outdoors with the animals.
Our farm has changed a lot since we first arrived, and so have we. These days, we’re looking forward to having a little more freedom to travel and discover new places, without having to worry about everything back home.
We’ve always appreciated the people who have crossed our path here, and we know from experience that a good farm-sitting arrangement can be a lovely experience for everyone involved.
Could this be your kind of place?
If you enjoy animals, love being outdoors and fancy spending some time in a quieter part of Europe, perhaps you’d feel at home here.
We’re happy to hear from people from all walks of life. All we ask is that you’re caring, trustworthy and comfortable taking care of our little farm while we’re away.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, drop us a message. We’d love to hear a little about you and see if it might be a good match!
