Tasmania - Hobart

Andrew

Hi there house sitters

I live in Kingston Tasmania, a southern beachside suburb of Hobart a 15 min drive to the CBD and 5 minutes to the countryside. Close to shops and the beach. I am looking for someone to look after my 6-year-old greyhound Mr Snoop Dogg and my home.

Snoop is a former racer, previously known as Casino Ace, now retired not rescued. He sleeps all day long, but does require at least 2 walks a day, usually only around 30 to 60 minutes, but will walk longer if you like to walk. He does require eye drops daily, which he is great at taking.

We go on-lead to Kingston Dog Beach and around the neighbourhood and a few off-lead dog parks nearby - Kingston View Greyhound off-lead exercise area, and Dru Point off-lead dog exercise area. At weekends we will take a longer walk on one of the many dog-friendly tracks in the area.

The house is a 3 bed, 2 bath townhouse with lovely views over Kingston to Mt Wellington, off-street parking in a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood about a 15-minute walk to the beach. You will have your own fully furnished room and bathroom, plus high-speed NBN, Netflix, Prime, BBQ and no maintenance on the garden except watering the plants - not many. You can relax and enjoy the winter days with the house filling with sunlight from sunrise to sunset.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you are interested; especially people who have had experience with greyhounds previously.

Cheers
Andy

We really enjoyed our housesit with Mr Snoop Dogg. Andrew is an incredibly generous host and the instructions/communication were excellent. Mr Snoop is so sweet, easy-going and I’m slightly jealous of his wardrobe too! Lovely area, comfortable home, can’t recommend highly enough.

Thoroughly enjoyed housesitting for Andy and looking after SnoopDog which included some wonderful optional social greyhound outings like a private greyhound garden party at Kingston Beach (cheese and wine) and a local loop walk with a greyhound club. Kingston is central to everything including shops, beaches, restaurants and city. I appreciated great communication with Andy, the house had everything I needed and Snoop was an easy and well behaved companion who enjoyed daily visits to the dog ... MORE
