6 yr cocker ciddle bug and 2½ years springer livewire. Lively dogs who need someone around most of the time. ( They can be left alone). They needs 2 outings a day, Cocker doesn't need as much activity but goes with the flow. They get along very well together, even if their wrestling sounds like doggy Fight Club. Springer is a typical annoying little brother 🤣
4 Chooks are very easy to manage.

Meg and Eric are awesome hosts! Super friendly and welcoming—we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Their house is amazing: cozy and full of good vibes. And the dogs? Absolutely lovely!

It was an unforgettable experience, and we’d go back in a heartbeat!

We really enjoyed our Brisbane house sit. Alfie was such a beautiful dog to care for. We had a lot of laughs playing ball, frisbee and watching him swim in the surrounding creeks. Vossie the cat let us know what it wanted by ringing the bell! The chooks were easy to care for. Many thanks and best wishes to Meg and Eric.
