Needing a pet/house sitter over december/january we have 1 ver spoilt inside only female toirtoise shell cat who is very lazy and sleeps a lot and only wants cuddles on her terms, and her cat liter will need to be changed every second day and 1 very spoilt inside male jack russell dog, who will need to be taken outside regularly to go to the toilet and you need to stay out with him or he barks and refuses to go to the toilet and when you go out lock him inside and sometimes you do need to do dog poo run of the house if he is locked in too long as if you leave him outside he gets out and bolts, he doesnt like interaction with other dogs so advice against taking him for walks and he gets heaps of exercise out the back as he loves to chase balls and bring them back and he also loves chasing his rat stuffed toy and bringing it back inside the house (he is a rescue dog and does come from an abused home so needs someone loving and caring and he is very affectionate for the right people and dislikes most males or cigarette smokers) we also have 2 fish tanks one tropical tank with 14 fish in it and one gold fish tank with 3 fish that both need feeding every second day and their lighs turned on in the mornings and turned off at around 9.30 at night.
