Assignment Requirements

We live in the glorious Derwent Valley, only 6klm from the New Norfolk town center and 30 minutes from Hobart. We share our home with 3 dogs (2 standard poodles and one poodle cross staffie - yes I now, weird), 4 horses (one of which is a miniature), ducks, geese and chooks. We're looking for someone who will care for our home and our pets with the same love that we do. That will include giving a pill to 2 dogs every morning, feeding the birds and horses in the morning, the horses and dogs in the evening. You'll need a car to get around and must have experience with horses. Our home is comfortable, with reverse cycle air-conditioning (so no need to chop wood!) with a modern kitchen and bathroom. We have wifi but mobile phone reception is spotty.

Suburb Insights

Magra offers a distinct rhythm, far removed from urban bustle. Here, the day unfolds at a gentle pace, ideal for unhurried walks with your canine companions along the quiet country roads or down towards the Derwent River banks, where the air feels crisp and clean. Pet exercise becomes a meditative practice against a backdrop of rolling hills, offering a quiet adventure without the constant stimulation of a city environment. While Magra itself prioritizes serenity, a friendly wave from passing neighbours is common, establishing a quiet, observant community character. For provisions or a local coffee, New Norfolk is a short drive, perhaps ten minutes. Its compact main street offers essential shops and a few casual spots to connect with locals. Factor this brief journey into your daily routine for pet food or personal supplies, as immediate amenities are found a little further afield. Living in a Magra home means embracing the sounds of the countryside – bird calls at dawn, the rustle of eucalyptus, and profound quiet after dusk. This peaceful setting makes tending to the animals a calm experience; their routines naturally align with the area's tranquility. Expect an environment where nature is your closest neighbour, providing a restful backdrop for your entire stay, allowing pets to settle easily into their familiar home.
