We need a house sitter

Tasmania - Launceston

Carol

Last minute time away…. Our dog loves company & is easy. 2 horses but just need to check they are OK on our 16 acres... We have friends close by that can assist if any help needed....really nice nieghbours on all sides...mainly just need someone to be around to keep an eye on our property. Plenty of walking tracks if you are that way inclined.! On main bus route to Launceston. Happy for sitters to come early & meet us.
Welcome to bring a dog. Plenty of room for a caravan or similar if already in Tas. Happy to have someone stay for less time as neighbours can assist. Open to suggestions.

Thank you Carol and Rod. You dealt with the communication of property details clearly and made us both feel welcome. They are straight forward country people and smoothed the path with the neighbours in cases of problems. They have had quite a number of house-sitters so know the routine well. Pepsi (the horse) has a lovely nature and is easy to handle, even for a couple of people with little practical experience. He is a big fellow, but doesn't throw that weight around.

Although we took on the house sit whilst Carol & Rod were overseas it all went smoothly and they were very welcoming and grateful someone was looking after their place whilst away. Great location, house had everything one needs and the gardens & paddocks just needed some TLC with watering & ride on mower. When we did meet on their return and handover they proofed to be just as welcoming and easy going as they were electronically!

Carol & Rod made us feel very welcome from the moment we met them in their warm & welcoming home. We were invited to stay in the house, however chose to stay in our van as it has become our home since travelling. They also welcomed our dog Cinta with open arms. We loved looking after Pepsi, Noah & Galena the horses who all have their own personalities. The property is very close to shops, fuel and essential services situated in the beautiful Tamar Valley. The neighbours also made us feel ... MORE

Thanks Marcia and Andrew, an absolute pleasure to meet you and many thanks especially as last minute trip...hope to see you again....with Cinta of course!
I would highly recommend this Housesit. If I was available I would do it again in a heartbeat. Great location and beautiful home and fabulous fireplace in the winter. Property has easy access and is very comfortable. Lovely country retreat. Carol provides clear instructions and is a very friendly person. I have remained friends with Rod and Carol and have visited on many occasions since 2017.
