One thing we all know is homesteaders don't have a lot of flexibility.  Tired, Sick, injured, and bad weather you have things to do on your homestead.  That's where I have been helping! I travel around homesteads, and help care for your homestead while you do your thing.  I've helped on a couple of homesteads where they just wanted a vacation and even one where the Man was injured.  I took care of his animals, worked in his garden, helped him clean around his home, and cooked for him until his brother could make the trip from a few states away.  

Please message me directly if you want to discuss this further! Pay scale varies depending on the work.

I am located in N Cali, USA! I am currently advertising in North to Central Cali, Oregon, and N. Nevada. I usually get paid per day, there is a range based on the amount of work. Anything 2-6 hours drive time, I charge one extra day to cover travel.  I am willing to discuss travelling further, if you are completely covering travel.

Homestead sitting is an awesome sounding job!

Permies is international, if you  wouldn't mind sharing where you are from it might help people have an idea if they could utilize your services.

That sounds like a much needed service.  How far are you willing to travel?

Great idea Timothy! haha I didn't think about that.  

I am located in the US. Mostly right now, I have been staying on the West Coast. I'm in N. Cali, so Oregon, Central Cali, and N Nevada are places I've been advertising in.  I would be up for discussing further, if you wanted to pay for travel.
 
I guess everyone has an angle. Fine, what do you want? Just know that you cannot have this tiny ad:
