Assignment Requirements

Hi We have a medium sized Qlder verandahs on 4 sides.We require a couple who are experienced with Large sometime boisterous dogs.We have a Family of Mum , Dad & 2 Junior Weimaraners 3 of which a long hairs. The Long hair Weimaraners are the the more laid back dogs, Jorja the short hair Mother is a bit of a velcro dog! This is typical of the breed. They require someone who is gentle and absolutely patient, kind and loving. They have always been kenneled when we go away so if your happy to sit the house without the dogs that is fine too.

They are our lives and I understand if 4 dogs is too much and it can be for someone who does not know the Weimaraner breed as they are a strong exuberant & sometime Mischievous breed.

Jorja loves a ball game !

Suburb Insights
Your time in Laidley South unfolds at an unhurried pace, a distinct rhythm far removed from city clamour. Mornings here invite quiet walks with your furry companions along the immediate, low-traffic country roads that border properties, allowing pets to stretch their legs in open air. The absence of bustling footpaths means a more relaxed leashed stroll, observing the surrounding farmlands. Daytime routines often involve enjoying the sun-drenched garden or a shaded verandah, ensuring pets receive ample attention and the home remains undisturbed. For daily necessities, the township of Laidley is a short drive away. Here you'll find a welcoming local butcher offering quality meats and a bakery for fresh bread and treats – convenient stops for both your meals and perhaps a special dog biscuit. A handful of small cafes provide a comfortable spot for a morning coffee or a light lunch, fitting easily into the rhythm of feeding schedules and house duties. Consider an afternoon visit to the Laidley Pioneer Village, offering a glimpse into the region’s agricultural heritage, a low-key outing before returning for evening pet care. Evenings in Laidley South are typically quiet, ideal for unwinding after tending to your charges. The twilight hours often bring the sounds of the countryside, a gentle backdrop to indoor time. You're not looking for bright lights or late-night dining; rather, the focus shifts to preparing simple meals with ingredients from local stores or perhaps a takeaway from the pub. This setting fosters a dedicated connection with the pets and the home, offering a genuine taste of Lockyer Valley living without the rush.
