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

Greater Hobart's pace encourages a gentle rhythm for house sitters and their animal companions. Mornings often begin with a crisp walk, perhaps tracing the Derwent's edge at Sandy Bay where Nutgrove Beach offers a sandy run for dogs, or ascending a bush track in South Hobart towards kunanyi/Mount Wellington. Following this, a stop at a local cafe along Sandy Bay Road or in Battery Point allows for a quiet coffee; many proprietors welcome well-behaved pets at outdoor tables, a common sight here. Clear air, often carrying the scent of sea or eucalypts, sets a calm tone for the day. Afternoon routines might involve a drive to Kingston Beach for a change of scenery, or simply a leisurely amble through a suburban park. Saturdays bring Salamanca Market, a chance to gather fresh produce for evening meals; navigating crowds with pets requires consideration, often best managed with shorter visits or a dedicated walk before heading home. Though the city's transport network is reliable, many prefer local walks directly from their temporary home-base. Evenings in Greater Hobart settle into a quiet domesticity. With pets content after their day's excursions, a comfortable home allows for focused attention and care. Preparing meals with local ingredients, perhaps from a farm gate or market find, becomes part of the peaceful routine. The soundscape here is often one of birdsong and distant city hum, not incessant traffic. This calm environment supports relaxed cohabitation, ensuring pets maintain familiar habits while you unwind, observing the changing light on the river or mountain from your window.

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...

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.

We are needing a single person who is caring, honest and respectful to look after our home, dog and cat. It would be ideal if the person works only part-time or if you were retired, as our 4 year old maltese shih tzu dog (Harry) can be a bit anxious and is used to someone being home most of the time. We live in Kingston which is only a 5 minute drive from the beach, local shops and a 15 minute drive to the Hobart CBD. Our cat (Maisy) is a 5 year old female ginger and is very placid. Both of ...
