Lewisham, Tasmania

About this house sitting position in Lewisham

We are looking for a clean, responsible, animal loving person or couple.

We have 3 cherished chickens and Banjo our much loved Kelpie.

2 bedroom cottage on acreage close to beaches, hiking, wineries and 30 minutes from Hobart. We are close to some great coffee options and cafes, 10 minutes drive to supermarkets.
We are looking for someone/ couple who can care for Banjo and home as we do whilst enjoying our beautiful piece of paradise.

Banjo has a lot of energy so requires someone who will entertain him with long walks and playing frisbee/ ball with him morning and evening. He loves the beach (and its the best way to burn up some of his energy) so ideally someone who will take him to the beach and play fetch with him. (Beach is 5 min drive, dog park is 7 min drive).
Banjo is very social and curious, energetic and loves joining you on drives/ adventures (if you choose to) but also loves snuggling up and lazing in the house for a few pats.

Duties include exercising Banjo twice a day, feeding him, checking & feeding the chickens & replacing their straw (weekly) along with cleaning the cottage at the end of your stay.
Bonus points if you are happy to spend a little time in the garden watering and caring for our plants :)

The cottage is completely self contained, with bathroom, queen beds, kitchen facilities and is lovely and warm thanks to the air-conditioner.

Help yourself to our fresh chicken eggs and veggies from the garden.

We are looking for someone/ couple who can house/pet from Thurs 1st August (handover day) through to Wed 21st August 2024.

We would consider sitters who have a dog/s that are social and happy to play with Banjo.

We may consider a family (although depending on ages, even though we have young children of our own Banjo may sometimes still jump when he is excited).

This would be best suited to an active individual/ couple that enjoy the beach, walking and spending time on the farm.

Your own car is essential (note: you will need to use your own car to take Banjo to the beach). Previous references preferable and Non- smoker.

We can't wait to hear from you and show you our piece of paradise! Read more...
