We need a house sitter

Tasmania - North West

Michelle

Hi,
We require a house sitter to look after our house and pets from Thursday 17h April - Saturday 26th April 2025.

We live in a beautiful double storey straw bale house in picturesque Sheffield (the town of murals) in Tasmania. We have 2 acres of land and a lovely view of Mount Roland.
You can help yourself to seasonal garden produce. We have 5 chickens who produce eggs and 2 friendly goats, Cookie and Grace, that like a pat.

Maggie, is our 3 year old beagle. She is very friendly with loads of energy. She loves to go on walks around the country roads or bush walking tracks and enjoys rides in the car to the beach or on other adventures. As she is a beagle, she always needs to be on a lead when outdoors. We have two secure outdoor pens for her if you are going out for the day.

We are located 5 minutes from the Sheffield township; 1 hour away from Cradle Mountain National Park; 20 minutes from Mount Roland; 30 minutes to the closest beach; Lake Barrington is 15 minutes away for great freshwater swimming; the Wild Mersey mountain biking trails beginning at Sheffield and Railton are super close, or drive 25 minutes to the start of trails at Latrobe. There are many other stunning natural locations close by.

The major centres of Devonport and Latrobe are 30 minutes and 20 minutes drive respectively. Plus we are very close to some great food and drink experiences, including Anvers Chocolates; Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm; Ashgrove Cheese; Spreyton Cider; Seven Sheds Brewery; La Villa Winery; House of Hargrave Vineyard; The Truffledore; Sheffield Honey; Southern Wild Distillery; Island State Brewery..........just to name a few on the Tasting Trail Tasmania.

If you think you would like to stay in our area, please message me.
Thanks, Michelle

Michelle was great to communicate with before and during the sit. Maggie and the other animals were very easy to take care of and the house was very charming. It was a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Thanks Michelle for letting me take care of your house and pets.

We had a wonderful time in Sheffield while sitting Maggie, Grace, Cookie and the chooks! The animals were all relaxed and we had a lot of fun together. Maggie is such a cutie! The garden is also amazing, we had some fresh eggs and tomatoes every morning for breakfast. Michelle and the whole family are incredibly nice, the communication went very well and they gave us lots of recommendations for the area and even a little welcome package. We loved it very much there and would come back any ... MORE

What a pleasure it was the sit for Michelle and Carl. Maggie their Beagle was a dream to look after, such a sweet, cheeky and energetic pup! Great & patient with our 2 young girls. Their home and property is just a delight and soo clean & comfortable. We loved having fresh eggs from their friendly chickens daily and the garden is flowing with yummy produce which we took full advantage of! Cookie and Grace the goats were a fav of our girls and absolutely no trouble at all. The location is ... MORE

Michelle and Carl were very welcoming of us into their home and provided great communication over the phone and written notes for us to refer to when needed. Maggie is an energetic and delightful dog to care for and loves being close to her humans. The chickens and goats were friendly and easy to care for. We enjoyed the benefits of the best tasting free range eggs we have had in Tassie. Sheffield is a great town to explore to check out murals and to learn the history of the town. We also ... MORE

Maggie the dog is lovely and enjoyed playing and walks. Being only 8 months old she is full of fun and energy. I enjoyed the quiet and serenity of Sheffield which is a lovey country town. Carl and Michelle's garden is lovely and is a testomony of all the work that has obviously been put into it. The home is comfortable and has a lovely view. I enjoyed looking after the chooks, goats and sheep although they pretty well looked after themselves. I would recommend this sit for anyone interested ... MORE

Michelle and Carl are very nice people and their family very welcoming. Maggie is a very energetic young lady, who loves walks and playing. She has an amazing nose and sense of smell, and loves pats, cuddles and loads of attention :) The house is very beautiful and the garden abundant with goodies. The chickens are great, I love chickens, and the goats and sheep very easy to care for. The property is sensational and the area is full of possibilities and opportunities for adventure. Sheffield ... MORE
