House Sitting in greater hobart

House sitting and pet care in Greater Hobart, Tasmania—whether you are in the city centre, inner suburbs, or the wider area.

Lifestyle Guide

Settling into a Greater Hobart house sit means embracing a rhythm set by the mountain and the river. Mornings often begin with the brisk air and the pet's eager anticipation for a walk. Consider a circuit along the Derwent foreshore paths near Battery Point, or a quieter trail around Waterworks Reserve where the scent of eucalyptus is strong. The city wakes gently, allowing you to establish a calm routine without feeling rushed. Mid-morning, after attending to your furry charge, a visit to a local cafe becomes a simple pleasure. Many spots along North Hobart's Elizabeth Street, or in Kingston, offer outdoor seating where a well-behaved dog can relax beside you while you enjoy a coffee. Stocking the fridge for home-cooked meals is easy; Friday mornings at the Farm Gate Market or Saturday at Salamanca Market provide fresh local produce, the latter best explored after a long dog walk, perhaps leaving the pet at home for a quiet hour. Afternoons might involve a sunnier stretch in the garden or another gentle stroll through a neighbourhood park, perhaps along Sandy Bay Rivulet path. Evenings here are typically quiet, encouraging a focus on the comfortable home base. With the cooler air descending from Kunanyi, ensure your pet is warm, and you can settle into a book or prepare dinner. This unhurried pace allows ample time for attentive pet care and enjoying the distinct local flavour, turning daily tasks into tranquil moments.

Walking our 6 yr old greyhound twice a day, keeping him company and if very hot please watering some plants in our garden. We live in the perfect spot for supermarkets, 4 mins walk to Coles or Woollies, the bus stop to take you to Hobart is one minute away and takes about 8-10 mins to take you to the centre of the city. Chemists, bank, post office and many cafes and restaurants are walking distance, as is the Derwent River. Our street is quiet and with friendly neighbours.

2 x cute medium dogs to sit - 4 year old brother and sister - need 2 - 3 walks per day (including night walk before bed approx 9-9.30pm) They unfortunately do pull on leads, so anyone who can break that habit, fantastic. They love children, but can be a bit jumpy and little boy a bit growly as he gets jealous of sister, so maybe not good for young kids >5 or so. House to be looked after as if it’s your own - great location- 20 minutes walk to city, 5 minutes to cafes and IGA. Close to bushw...

Responsible person or couple required to maintain by home and look after my 2 dogs, its really just feeding them and watering them once a day and letting them out for a run about on the land. They are both older dogs - although 1 does act like a puppy. There is flexibility to extend the stay (at a cost) should you requre a place to stay for longer - there is plenty of room.
