Program Details
We’re a small private hobby farm in Berry Springs, around 40 minutes south of Darwin, surrounded by tropical nature, wildlife and our much-loved animals. 🌴🐾
🐾 ANIMAL CARE
We’re looking for reliable animal lovers to stay at least 4 weeks, get to know our animals and learn their routines.
Care includes feeding, fresh water, cleaning animal areas and making sure everyone is safe and well. When I travel, you’ll be responsible for their daily care.
🌅 DAILY ROUTINE
Animal care is mainly around sunrise and sunset:
☀️ Morning – feeding, cleaning & animal care
🌅 Evening – feeding, checks & settling animals for the night
The rest of the day is yours to relax, explore, work online or enjoy our 12m saltwater pool. 🏊
As the animals need care every day while I’m away, daily availability is important. After I return, enjoy several completely free days to relax or explore. Longer stays are welcome.
