About Isobel Bryant:

LOOKING TO HOUSE SIT IN IRELAND FROM APRIL 2024
MATURE WOMAN WITH COMMON SENSE, POSITIVE DRIVE AND GREAT HUMOUR.

Hi, 
My names Isobel and I have my own lifestyle block (5ha) in Timaru, NZ. I am a solo mum of two, my 19 yr old daughter is at uni studying to become a vet and my 17 yr old son is a tractor driver for a contracting company. I am a NZ warmblood sport horse breeder and I used to ride/compete before having the kids. I have a new puppy called Bella Rose who is a speagle and she's really cool! We just recently lost my daughters 11yr old small dog to cancer. 
We also have 4 cats and 3 chickens. 
I have my own online business so I definitely require internet/cell phone service locations! 
I have extensive experience with dairy cows being an ex dairy farmer here in NZ (born and bred dairy farmer). I have great stock sense with most animals and ability to care for and detect unusual/sick behaviour in all animals including but not limited to - cows, horses, dogs, sheep, deer, cats, chickens. Im not a huge fan of reptiles but I'd look after them if I needed to, I just don't have any experience with them. I can feed fish/birds. Im up for new experiences though so Ill give anything a go.
 
REASON I'M LOOKING TO STAY IN YOUR HOME
I have always wanted to travel and see what else is out there! Being a solo mum for the last 19 yrs has been a challenge but I have come out the other side and its time for me now! I don't want my trip rushed, I would like to take in each new place I visit with a fresh and positive vibe. I want to enjoy myself and be relaxed. I would love to be trusted in your home so I can explore your surroundings and create lasting memories on my travels. This is a huge leap into the unknown for me but Im so excited to meet some fantastic new people on my journey and take heaps of pics of your slice of heaven should you choose me to be trusted in your space, looking after your lovely pets. 

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH DURING MY STAY
(So you know what I'm looking for in my adventures)
I would love to come and look after your animals and take care of your home while your away and be able to make sure they are all happy and loved, the house kept tidy and pot plants watered!
I would ideally love to be able to go for walks, either in your town/city or down your country roads. Take the dog if you have one as I'm sure they will help me home should I take a wrong turn haha I would love to visit some attractions and experience your way of life!
I would require a few hours most days for my business so a peaceful spot is always a bonus. 

I consider myself to be polite and respectful. I always take pride in anything I do and would try my best to keep your place ticking over like you were still there. 

MY TRAVEL PLANS
I am planning on arriving in Dublin (from NZ) in April 2024, hopefully around the start of the month. I have not made a date yet as I would like to set up my accommodation and then align the flights with it. I would love to explore Dublin first for at least a week then move on south hopefully and then up the west side. I'm open to any direction really as long as I'm enjoying myself and exploring new things! From there I am planning on visiting Scotland, the UK and more of Europe, Meeting up with my aunty in Italy at the end of July and hopefully a friend who's travelling to Mexico on an equestrian tour around July also if I get time but plan on travelling the USA at a later date anyway.
The world is going to be my oyster at last!!
My ideal stay would be a minimum of 5 days up to 10 + days. 

I do not require payment for sitting as this is not a job it is to benefit us both easily, I look after your house and pets if you have them in return for staying in your place and experiencing your country. I am happy to water plants.

*** THE ULTIMATE BONUS FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE ***
I would love to stay on an equestrian property (breeding, show jumping, dressage) and help out or equally, it would be an exciting experience staying on your dairy farm and helping out there! 
There is so much I know I could learn and take away from either of these experiences!
So if you or someone you know is looking for someone fun to help out for a bit get hold of me, I would love the chance!
Stay time frame - open to discussion for either of these experiences.
