House Sitting in richmond-tweed

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

Lifestyle Guide

Living in the Richmond-Tweed region offers a slower tempo that suits the responsibilities of house sitting. Days often begin with a coffee along the quiet café strips of Ballina or Lennox Head before the midday heat sets in. When watching over a home, you might find your routine revolving around the local rhythm, perhaps taking a dog for a long walk through the coastal heathlands or along the winding trails of the Richmond River. Weekends provide ample opportunity to explore the natural landscape. You can drive toward the Byron hinterland for forest shade or head to the coast to watch the surfers at Clarkes Beach. Local farmers' markets offer a chance to stock the pantry with fresh produce, making the quiet task of maintaining a household feel connected to the surroundings. While the area feels remote, reliable transport links ensure you can move between coastal towns easily. This lifestyle rewards those who appreciate salt air, morning walks, and the calm of a well-tended garden.

House-sitting, garden care and watering in a rural small cottage. Keep the place in order. Provide water for wildlife including birds, wallabies, koalas, bandicoots, bats and the occasional reptile for about a month as I will be away. Given the hot summer, I think best to have someone look after the place and enjoy this beautiful place. I was not evacuated in the November fires; my neighbour is the Chief of the Rosebank Rural Fire Service, and his property wraps around mine. You can bring a d...

We have one 5-year-old cat who can be a little anxious until he gets to know you. He’s an adventurous boy who loves spending time in the garden, but he does need to be supervised outside to make sure he doesn’t find a way into the neighbouring yards. He only goes out into the back yard during the day and is firmly indoors from late afternoon to early morning. He needs to be fed and have fresh water twice a day (although he'll try to convince he needs to be fed multiple times in a day), an...
