Pets & farm animals

We have one very active 2year old cattledog Lucy. She is lucky to have a big backyard with plenty of space to play and enjoys about 2 x 45mins of fetch/frisby/toy time per day (morning and afternoon). One or both of these she usually has an on leash sniff around the nearby park and streets to see what the neighbours have been up to. Being a working dog She is very routined. When she knows what to expect and when to expect she is lovely, loyal and rewarding. When her 'work schedule' changes daily she gets confused and can become challenging. She is completely deaf which is never a worry as we don't let her off leash outside the home. She unfortunately is very anxious around other dogs but absolutely loves humans and is very affectionate. We have 5 happy chickens that require about 5 minutes in the morning to fill up food and water and let them out to roam, then 2 mins at night to close the coop once they're in bed. Easy work for 4-5 fresh eggs every day in return! Minimal cleaning required, may need to change the bedding in coop once or twice during the stay.

House Tasks

Other than looking after the dog and chickens and keeping an eye on the house plants, if you put the bins out weekly on Tuesday evening that would be lovely!
