House Sitting in mersey-lyell

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

Lifestyle Guide

Waking to the soft coo of native birds, your day in Mersey-Lyell begins with the promise of quiet companionship. After a gentle morning feed for your furry charges, a stroll along the Mersey River’s peaceful banks offers a refreshing start. The air, crisp and clean, carries the scent of eucalypt as your canine friend explores the grassy verges. Further afield, quiet country lanes invite longer walks through rolling farmland, perhaps discovering a roadside stall offering fresh berries or local honey. Returning home, the sun streaming into the living area creates an ideal spot for a shared nap or a quiet hour with a book. The region's unhurried pace makes daily errands a pleasant affair, often involving a stop at a local bakery for their sourdough or a chat with a farmer at a nearby weekend market. Days unfold gently here, marked by the rhythm of the household pets, allowing ample time for cuddles and play. As dusk settles, the call of owls might accompany an evening wander around the garden with your temporary companions. Meal preparation becomes a relaxed ritual, incorporating local produce, perhaps from a farm gate you spotted earlier. Evenings in Mersey-Lyell are for quiet companionship, reading by the warmth of a fire, or simply listening to the stillness, ensuring your charges feel secure and loved in their familiar surroundings.

My home is a typical old country cottage with a Rayburn stove to heat the water and cook on and a fire place for warmth. You must replace the wood you burn. I have a wonderful garden, including veggies to look after and use, with chickens and 4 sheep who like to say hello. I live near Cradle Mountain National Park, a lake, 2 rivers and plenty to do in the small town. Bowling, tennis and canoeing.

We have a 3 bedroom home in Northern Tasmania with a 6 month old Lagotto Romagnolo dog to love and are for. Our pup is still young, so needs someone experienced with young dogs to provide regular company, walks and cuddles. She will be crate trained, so can be left asleep in her crate for a couple of hours, but not longer, as she is still young. Crate can be taken in car if you want to take her out and about.
