House Sitting in southern

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

Lifestyle Guide

Southern Tasmania offers a distinct rhythm for house sitters and their temporary companions. Waking to the cool, clean air often means the first routine of the day is a deliberate walk. Perhaps a quiet track through eucalyptus before the day truly begins, or a gentle meander along a local path near the Derwent River. This region’s unique blend of accessible bushland and sheltered coastline provides varied landscapes for pet exercise, always mindful of the local wildlife and leash requirements in certain areas. Mid-morning might involve a quick trip to one of the smaller, local markets – maybe a growers’ stall down a country road – to gather fresh produce for your evening meal. Afternoons can unfold with a supervised exploration of a less-frequented beach, like those found around the Channel region, allowing the dog a good run on the sand and the sitter a moment of quiet reflection by the water. The cooler climate here ensures dogs can often enjoy longer outdoor stretches without overheating concerns. Evenings are for settled comfort. The day’s collected ingredients become a simple, nourishing dinner in a quiet home. With your pet contentedly curled nearby, the slower pace of Tasmanian life truly becomes apparent. There’s no rush, just the steady hum of natural sounds outside. This unique quiet helps cultivate a deeply calm experience, making your temporary residence a genuine sanctuary for both you and the furry residents.

I am building my house so this is only suitable for people with their own caravan or van. There is water and power. My four donkeys need their ears and bottoms scratched while I'm away. My land is 11.5 acres of private bush and paddock. Lots of native wildlife. It's off the road so very quiet. Beaches and bush walks ten minutes away. Just over an hour to Hobart and nearest post office and shops ten minutes away.

I have a newly built north facing cosy home and I'm looking for a cat lover to care for my 16 year old cat, Tabitha. You will need to be confident in administering a tablet daily, using a pill popper. Tabitha is used to this and generally accepts this ok. She sleeps most of the day. Tabitha needs feeding twice a day. She is an indoor cat and uses a litter tray. She's a lap cat so I'm looking for someone who is at least around in the evenings to keep her company. Wallabies are frequen...
