Hey! :). We are a young couple with three kids; A 6month old German Shepherd x Collie called 'Heidi', and two (hand raised, non-biting) green cheek conures 'Gertie and Grendel'.
We live directly across from a dog park, a really lovely quiet area of townsville, in a rental property. Our kids have been fairly well trained, but are a little spoiled; they love just having someone around. They love people. The birds are happy sitting on their perches, but like to sit on shoulders. Heidi, our puppy, loves sleeping on feet, next to your side, doesn't bark (quietly vocalised a lot however, and loves 4pm when Dogs arrive at the dog park). She's quite a content, happy puppy- that acts like a Cat with balls, and toys, chasing them around the place.
We are wanting to go away for a wedding in Denmark beginning of May and also see some family in Germany while we are over there.
We would like someone that could:
- Just be around, especially at night for all of the kids.
- Give them all, in particular Heidi, hugs, play and let her sit by them (she is people orientated, doesn't have to be playing all the time, just wants the company most of the time).
- Take Heidi for a walk at least once a day/take to the dog park in the afternoon. She does like sleeping on her bed on the floor of the bedroom, (will whine in the morning when she needs to go out to the toilet at a reasonable time). food and treats of course will all be prepared).
- Basic animal husbandry; changing bird (and dog) food and water, putting their cover over their cage at night.
