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

The morning light filtering through the eucalypts or glinting off the Mersey River establishes a quiet rhythm for your days in this corner of Tasmania. A consistent start often settles the pets; consider a predawn wander along Coles Beach or a brisk walk beside the Don River. These early excursions, before others stir, provide a calm beginning for your furry companions, allowing them to explore scents without distraction. Later, while pets nap contentedly indoors after their morning outing, you might explore Latrobe’s antique shops or pick up fresh produce from a local farm gate. Establishing a calm home base means respecting their quiet time. Many cafés in Devonport offer outdoor seating if your charge is a well-behaved, leash-trained companion, but often, the most relaxing midday involves a quiet house for the animals. Afternoons lend themselves to a gentle drive through the Latrobe hinterland or a stroll along the Port Sorell foreshore, ensuring your pet gets another chance to stretch their legs. The slower pace here encourages unhurried moments. As dusk settles, listen for the kookaburras or the distant rumble of the Spirit of Tasmania. A final evening check-in, a comfortable space for the pets, and the quiet hum of a Tasmanian evening will ensure a peaceful end to your day, reflecting the calm, natural 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. A couple of short walks each day would be great. Beach is nearby but go by car due...
