House Sitting in south west

House sitting and pet care in South West, Western Australia—whether you are in the city centre, inner suburbs, or the wider area.

Lifestyle Guide

Stepping into a South West WA home means settling into a rhythm dictated by the sun and tides, rather than city schedules. Early morning dog walks often lead to quiet beachfront paths or shaded bush trails, where you'll nod to other locals out with their companions. These brief encounters are the first threads of local connection, offering glimpses into the relaxed pace of life here, where hurriedness rarely intrudes on daily routines. Mid-morning, a stroll with your charge to a neighbourhood café strip often means recognising faces from the trail, perhaps sharing a few words over a flat white. The local grocer or the Saturday market in town offers more than just fresh bread; it's where conversations about the week unfold naturally. Many establishments welcome well-behaved dogs in outdoor areas, making it simple to integrate pet care into your outings, and you'll quickly learn the best spots for a quiet afternoon with a book or where the community noticeboard holds upcoming events. Beyond the immediate street, the region encourages exploration. Coastal walking trails provide expansive views, while inland bush paths offer a cool reprieve on hotter days; these aren't just scenic backdrops but integral to the local lifestyle. A neighbour might offer garden tips, or suggest a lesser-known dog beach, demonstrating the region's easygoing, supportive character. Living here temporarily isn't just about the house you occupy; it’s about joining the quiet hum of its surrounds, caring for your temporary charges amidst genuine local warmth.

Hi. We are a family of 4 who live in a beach house in Falcon, WA. We have 2 x mini Schnauzers who love cuddles and affection. They get fed twice daily. We will be away for 4 x weeks, so minimal garden care, with a grass mow perhaps once or twice, but not a biggie. We would prefer a mature older lady, or perhaps an older couple travelling who wants to rest the caravan and chill for a while.

House-sitter must be a dog lover. Our main priority is to find company and care for our 13-year-old staffie/mastiff cross. She is a very gentle soul who needs moderate daily walks and as much company as you can give her. Apart from a few pot-plants the garden more or less looks after itself (maybe mow the lawn once a month). Our house is a 10-minute walk from the centre of town and even closer to the beach.
