House Sitting in northern

House sitting and pet care in Northern, New South Wales—whether you are in the city centre, inner suburbs, or the wider area.

Lifestyle Guide

Northern New South Wales settles into a rhythm dictated by the sun and surf, a gentle hum you’ll quickly adopt. Mornings here often greet you with the calls of native birds, signaling the ideal time to stretch your legs with your temporary companions. Many coastal towns offer expansive, quiet stretches of sand perfect for an early dog walk, or consider a shaded river promenade if the day promises heat. Understanding these local nuances ensures a comfortable start for both you and your charges, respecting their routine. Sourcing your provisions means leaning into the region's focus on local produce. Weekend markets become essential, not just for fresh fruit, vegetables, and artisan bread, but for observing the casual interactions that define these communities. You'll find independent cafes tucked away on main streets, offering a quiet spot for a quality coffee after a pet's morning exercise, where the pace is unhurried and conversations flow easily. This is where you connect with the genuine, unpretentious spirit of the area. Explore further afield during the cooler parts of the day. Discover quiet hinterland walking tracks through lush rainforest pockets, always ensuring you follow local pet guidelines and respect private property. Evenings invite a simple, home-cooked meal using your market finds, perhaps with the ambient sounds of cicadas or distant waves in the background. Understanding and embracing this unhurried local pulse helps you truly inhabit someone else's space, settling both yourself and your charges into a comfortable, authentic routine.

I have a 21 year old ginger cat who lives outside but likes a bit of company…he has the odd seizure but is in good health and just potters around the yard during the day. He sleeps on the back verandah and just eats biscuits morning and night. He does go through a lot of water now so his water bowl needs filling up daily.
