"&lt;p&gt;We’re going away for a week in May, and we need housesitters to care for our cat, ducks and hens in a rural idyll in Herefordshire, West MIdlands UK.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;LOCATION&lt;br /&gt;\nA rural track off a country lane leads to our 16th century stone built cottage. It is set within 5 acres of land with views to faraway hills. The village is in rural Herefordshire in the UK. A main road, reached by the lane leads to country towns or nearby county city. 6-9 miles. Many places of interest to visit. Leominster is the nearest large town. As a market town it dates back to the Middle Ages and offers lots to see and do.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;OUR PETS&lt;br /&gt;\nA flock of ducks, divided into 3 groups potter around during the day. There are some in our orchard, some in the garden and duck paddock. They sleep in duck houses at night. They are fed am &amp;amp; pm. Moby Duck, Whippy &amp;amp; Darth Vader are the drakes. All are friendly.&lt;br /&gt;\nOur cat Ratty (Ratatouille) sleeps in the kitchen, where a wood burner provides cosy heat. He loves people.&lt;br /&gt;\nRhoda – our hen lives in a barn when not pottering during the day.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;OUR PROPERTY&lt;br /&gt;\nThis historic cottage has been renovated, and offers a comfortable life. Our home has a large, pretty cottage garden, with pots &amp;amp; hanging baskets in summer which make it a place of tranquillity.&lt;br /&gt;\nFor housesitters, the king size bed in the Floral Room is comfortable, with bathroom &amp;amp; shower next door. Kitchen facilities include Neff oven, electric hob, microwave, washing machine, fridge &amp;amp; freezer.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;We have Garden furniture &amp;amp; BBQ for outdoor eating and relaxing. Please note we would prefer not to have housesitters with their own pets. Non smokers only please. Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;We hope you have an enjoyable stay at our rural retreat in exchange for looking after ‘Puddles and Pals’ &amp;amp; Ratty.”&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p class=\"job_tags\"&gt;Tagged as: Domestic cats, hens&lt;/p&gt;"
