About this house sitting position in East Risdon

This current stay is essentially for a long weekend, so may suit a house sitter who lives in Southern Tasmania or is really keen to visit Hobart for a quick visit.
Our home is situated close to the Derwent River and a bushland reserve, but 10 mins from shopping areas and 15 minutes to the city of Hobart.
The house is 3 bed, 2 bathroom and has a lovely deck area with expansive views of the Mt Wellington Ranges.

The cat, Betty, is middle aged, shy at first (except at mealtimes) who needs little attention, but loves having someone in her orbit.
The house has a lockable garage, plus parking space for another vehicle. While I have indicated that we are close to public transport, the timing of the buses is mainly once an hour and less on weekends.
We would like the house sitter to collect mail, keep the house and garden looking tidy and lived-in, water the plants inside and out and feed Betty, of course.
For longer stays, the sitter is welcome to use the veggie & herb garden.
We will provide contact details of nearby responsible adults, who can assist in emergencies, if for some reason the house sitter can't contact us.

“Tricia and David were great hosts, very relaxed while providing guidance for looking after Betty, as well as contact info if help was required. ”

“I had a wonderful experience staying with Tricia and David in East Risdon. From the beginning, they were incredibly kind, welcoming and easy to communicate with. Everything was explained clearly, and they provided all important contact details and instructions, which made the stay very comfortable and stress-free. Their home was beautiful, clean and well organized, with amazing views over river Derwent. Betty was an absolute pleasure to look after — once she warmed up, she became very affectionate with plenty of purring and cuddles morning and evening. I also really appreciated how thoughtful and hospitable Tricia and David were. Tricia even took me grocery shopping, which was very kind and appreciated. I felt trusted and respected throughout the entire stay and would happily house sit for them again without hesitation.”
