House Sitting in barwon

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

Lifestyle Guide

Mornings in Barwon Victoria begin with the scent of salt air and the call of birds. The first task is often a companionable walk with your charge along the winding Barwon River paths, where dogs greet familiar faces and the water flows calmly towards the ocean. Afterward, a detour to a local bakery for fresh bread and coffee sets a gentle pace for the day, before returning to a quiet house. The afternoon invites exploration. Coastal paths offer expansive views of Bass Strait, perfect for a longer stroll, or you might find yourself wandering down to the river mouth where the freshwater meets the sea. Daily errands, perhaps collecting something from the small grocer or browsing market stalls on a weekend, become pleasant extensions of these walks, seamlessly integrated into caring for the home and its resident pets. As dusk settles, the rhythm slows further. Evenings are often spent with the windows open, letting the cool breeze drift in, or perhaps enjoying a quiet moment on a deck overlooking a garden. Preparing a simple meal with local ingredients, followed by the comforting presence of a contented pet curled nearby, truly marks the Barwon way of life. It’s a place where the outdoor world dictates the daily flow, making every walk a part of the household's peaceful routine.

We have a much loved people friendly 12 year old Golden Retriever who needs a bit of love whilst we are away. A pat, a feed, a bit of a walk and occasional brush is all that she craves for. She will talk to you as well. Our fernery requires a bit of watering but the rest of the garden should be ok. We live just out of Geelong in a quiet street. Would love to hear from someone who can stay at our place and look after our girl
