About
We are a family who live in Collaroy, Northern Beaches, Sydney. Our house has a pool and a front and back garden. 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a rumpus room. Long Reef beach is a 7-minute walk from our house and public transport into the CBD or Manly, Warringah Mall is only a 5-minute walk away. We have two beautiful brown labs looking for the right mature couple to look after our fur babies. Jazzie is 10 and has arthritis in her hip which can be a challenge as she will need a couple who is used to administering vitamins and pain relief tablets every day to help her walk. While Ted is 5 and he is an American lab. Full of energy, loves to play and chase the ball and definitely will need 2 walks/dog park per day.
Pets & farm animals
Our two labs have very different personalities. Our senior girl, will need a sitter who is used to stubborness and protesting. Jazzie can be difficult to walk, but she only needs a sniffari rather than a long walk. She weighs 29-31 kg. Teddy is very strong, he is excellent on the lead and is very polite and everyone falls in love with him. He does love the ball, but both dogs have had extensive training and their recall is fantastic. Ted is prone to yeast infections in his ear, so having a sitter who can administer ear drops and also viligently watch him when he is at the dog park. He has a few quirky habits which have lead him to surgery, so as long as you watch that he doesn't eat a stick or pinecone, as he tends to graze and eat things that he shouldn't be eating.
