House Sitting in gippsland

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

Lifestyle Guide

Gippsland living often centers around a vehicle; most essentials and enjoyable outings require driving. Expect regular trips to your nearest regional town – perhaps Leongatha, Sale, or Wonthaggi – for a comprehensive supermarket shop and any pet supplies. While smaller general stores in closer hamlets offer immediate necessities, accessing veterinary care typically involves a short drive. Note down the local clinic's number and route early, ensuring preparedness for any pet needs. Daily routines for your charges will likely involve exploring the natural surrounds. Dog walking opportunities vary from quiet country lanes and designated bush trails, often found within a short drive, to open stretches of beach if your temporary home is coastal. These morning excursions often lead to local bakeries or a farm gate stall, offering fresh produce and a moment to observe the region’s unhurried pace. Such stops can easily become part of your daily rhythm, providing a taste of local life. Weekend mornings might involve a visit to a community market, an excellent way to stock the kitchen with fresh produce and artisan goods, supporting local growers. Understanding that major facilities are often centralized will help you plan your week efficiently, ensuring both the home and its animals receive consistent, timely care without undue stress. This rhythm of driving for supplies and finding leisure in nature defines much of the Gippsland experience.

We are looking for someone to care for our elderly deerhound, Shadow, and 2 friendly chickens on an 1 acre property outside of a rural regional town. Our 100 year old farmhouse has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a modern kitchen, lovely rural views and large garden, which I'm slowly turning into an organic cut flower plot. Although the garden is large, if you don't enjoy gardening, there's no need to do anything more than mow with the ride on mower once or twice. If you like gardening, there's alwa...
