We have two small dogs who are used to having someone around during the day who need a daily walk. They can be left for short periods of time in the daytime. The chickens are in a secure pen and need letting out of their house in the morning, feeding and put back in their house at night. The cat has medication twice a day and sleeps most of the day. We have had sitters organised and been let down twice with them cancelling so getting stressed. We have a large home at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, swimming pool, plenty of room to spread out.
