My family and I live on acreage on the beautiful Colo River. We have animals who are so much part of our family. Our family consists of two children, two dogs, 3 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, one goat (that thinks it is a dog), three hermit crabs and two birds - oh yeah and fish. I cannot recall a time when we didn't have animals, that unconditional love that you get makes your heart sing.
At this stage we are only pet sitting smaller animals like guinea pigs, rabbits and birds as we are in the process of fencing paddocks on our property. Once the fences are secure we will be able to offer a lot more room to pet sit dogs so they too can experience a holiday and have plenty of room to run around.
My daughter and I also volunteer for an animal rescue organisation. We look after many animals and when they are happy and use to being around people we rehome them to their forever homes. This role is so fulfilling, I love seeing the forever homes excitement when they come to meet their new member of the family....
