Beautiful Home in Dunedin

Introduction

My name is Lindsay Stay. I am married with two children. We have three dogs, 13 chickens and two bunnies. My husband and I both work from home in the health and fitness industry, but our job requires us to travel out of town a few times a year. Plus we travel with our children as much as we possibly can. I’ve always had my mom take care of our dogs but since adding the outside animals (chickens and bunnies) it has just become too much for her. I’d love to have someone who cares about these type of animals to take care of them.

Home & location

We live just a couple miles away from honeymoon Island in Dunedin. We also live just a couple miles away from downtown Dunedin which has a fun night life and lots of cool places to eat and hang out. Downtown Dunedin has a great Friday morning and Saturday morning market. You would be staying in our guest bedroom on the lower level of our home. You would have access to our gym, sauna, library and swimming pool.

Responsibilities

House: Water plants at the front door and the lanai. Trash goes out on Monday evenings. Cans brought back in on Tuesday. Dogs: feed and water at 8a (1.5 scoops in Frenchies and 3 scoops for Weiss) and 4p (1 scoop for Frenchies and 2 scoops for Weiss). Walk dogs once a day. Leashes hang on refrigerator in garage. Yellow goes on Noda (brown Frenchy) and Orange leash goes on Noi (white Frenchy). We clean poop from yard once a day. They run free outside we just have to make sure the gate on the side of the house is secure. On Monday's the lawn is usually mowed, bring dogs in and block dog door as needed to keep them from bothering the crew. Same is true for the pool guy, although he doesn't mind them at times! Bunnies: Check and fill water daily as needed. Gallon jugs are filled at the house and brought to the back. 1/2 cup of bunny food in dish and a handful of hay given each morning. We like to get them out into the fenced area once daily for exercise. They like to be out either in the morning or late afternoons. Return to cage and lock doors. Chickens: are free to range durning the day. Mornings we open the coop gate (make sure all gates of black chain link are closed, and dogs are not in far back yard area with the chickens). I will give one scoop of wormies to them usually off of the deck as they follow you to the feed room. Fill small metal bucket with one scoop grains, and two scoops pellets. Add a scant handful of the granite chips and dump into hanging feeder in chicken run. Check and fill water as needed with same gallon jugs from the house. Water capacity for hanging water is 7 gallons, the water house is 12 gallons and should only need filling once per week. Chickens will find their way back to the coop each night. When certain all 13 chickens are in, close and lock chicken run door. You may need to call them in with a treat of once scoop of wormies.

What a wonderful stay! Lindsay and Tony were the most gracious and welcoming hosts and it was a very easy-going process from beginning to end. They even let me use their truck which is very much appreciated! All the pets were a delight - I had so much fun with Weiss, Noda and Noi 😃. Domino the cat showed up whenever he wanted some attention and cuddles. Daisy the rabbit and the chickens were easy to care for too (I didn’t have to clean anything during my stay)and I enjoyed some of the most delicious eggs. Their house is amazing: modern, clean, comfortable and has everything you wish for. Highly recommended sit! Thank you Lindsay and Tony for trusting me to take care of your precious and fun animals!

Taking care of Lindsay’s house and animals was an absolute pleasure. The house is in a great location, very clean and organized, complete with anything you might need, and she made me feel more than welcome in her home (even sharing clothes since my luggage didn’t follow me on the flight). The pet care instructions were easy to follow and her three dogs turned into my best friends for the few days I was there. When I had a question, she was always quick to respond. I would be honored to house sit for her in the future.
