Description
I am in the Culverden township and need pet care over Christmas (preferably 22nd Dec to 3rd Jan).
Leana the greyhound is 5 and is gentle, she is easy to care for, likes her crate and feeling safe inside. She plays a little with soft toys with a squeak. She loves her cheeks being rubbed. She is a little fearful of the unknown and at the moment just does one easy 20min walk per day. No other dogs or pets may stay.
There are 6 chickens (all hens) who are in an enclosed coop, they just need their food and water dispensers monitored and their eggs collected.
The fish tank will be cleaned beforehand so just food once every 1-2 days.
The town is small but a lovely place to chill out. There are takeaways, a pub, cafes and a Foursquare. It is a 30min drive to Hanmer Springs from here.
The house has a king bed and an ecosa couch bed that can be 1 or 2 singles or another king when the singles are zipped together. 3 Bedrooms so if needed can put 3 people in separate rooms, or a couple and then 2 kids in separate spaces, or two couples, etc, use your imagination!
