House Sitting in loddon

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

Lifestyle Guide

Living in Loddon requires a reliable vehicle, as the town functions as a quiet transit hub between Bendigo and Shepparton. Most daily errands, from grabbing groceries to visiting the local post office, are easiest by car, though walking is feasible for those staying near the main street. You might find yourself driving to nearby towns for larger shopping trips or specialized supplies for the pets in your care. Routine care for animals often involves long, slow walks along the Loddon River trails, where the pace of life feels markedly slower than in the city. These riverside paths offer shaded routes for morning strolls before the heat sets in. Coffee runs are simple, with a few small cafes clustered along the central strip for a quick caffeine fix. Accessing the local markets provides a chance to stock the pantry with seasonal produce, making the process of maintaining a home feel integrated with the surrounding rural landscape.

The primary requirement is to take care of our 4 year old Collie x Kelpie …Maeve. She needs a couple of decent walks a day and /or some play. She also likes company as I work from home, so someone who loves dogs and is happy to spend time with her would be best. We live in town and have a small garden that could probably do with a bit of watering every now and then…but Maeve is number 1.

Looking for someone to house sit a senior dog whilst my bf and I go overseas. Jake is Very easy to care for. Breakfast in the morning. Dinner at night. He gets meds put in his dog roll in the morning. Loves to go for a walk however in his old age a quick 10 min blockie is all that is needed, at least every second day. He doesn’t get along with other dogs so just needs to be kept at a distance if you see another animal out. Very friendly with humans!

We have old but healthy border collie cross dog. Very calm and quiet. He will need a decent morning walk and a shorter afternoon walk. We have a large garden which will be very low maintenance at this time of the year - so we do not expect there would be anything to do other than a few basic things to do outside. The house is only about ten years old. It’s warm and well insulated.

My house is in a lovely bush setting. As the house sitter, I'll ask that you look after the house and garden. There are no pets to care for. You'll need to help with a few tasks around the house (not difficult) and possibly some bush regeneration if you are interested. Your bedroom is upstairs so you need to be comfortable with stairs. The house is on tank water and has a wood heater as well as AC. I am hoping to find someone for the 3 months.

Hello, We would love preferably a two person house sit. We are out of town and off grid so two people would probably find it more appealing. Having said that our solar system has batteries and a generator so you don’t actually have to “do anything”. It’s a very comfortable light filled home, with a pool. We have two pets for looking after. Percy our gorgeous border collie - an outside dog and Savanah our Russian blue cat. They are both very friendly but we keep them apart. Savanah doesn’t l...
