House sitting Melbourne

Want to cuddle Aussie animals in one of the most iconic cities down under? Make it happen by house sitting in Melbourne.

From the artsy suburb of Fitzroy North to the popular destination of Mornington Peninsula, pets across Melbourne are looking for animal lovers like you to keep them company while their owners are away. Find free accommodation in Melbourne by staying with adorable animals. With furry friends awaiting your arrival, you won’t be short of mates while you’re house sitting in Melbourne.

Brighton Beach

When looking after a dog in Melbourne, ensure you stop by the bayside suburb of Brighton. The beach is popular for the coloured bathing boxes that line the shore. Walk your dog walk early in the morning when pets are allowed on the beach. From April to October, dogs can roam around the beach off-leash all day. Aside from taking a walk, you can swim in the calm waters or go kayaking in the afternoons and watch the beautiful skyline as the sun sets.

St Kilda

Looking for a house sitting job in Melbourne? Be sure to visit St Kilda Beach a few kilometres from the city centre. The beach area permits dogs off-leash at specific times of the day. The western side of St Kilda Beach near Pier Road allows pets to play off-leash all year round. Apart from swimming, you can also stroll along the pier near Luna Park with your furry friend on a leash.

Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria

Royal Botanic Gardens is the perfect green space at the heart of the city if you are house sitting in Melbourne. You can stroll around the garden with your pet friends, breathe in the fresh air and take in the spectacular scenery. The garden spans over 38 hectares and has exotic vegetation and landscaped lawns. While dogs aren’t allowed off-leash, you can walk around and marvel at the plant species. Guilfoyle’s Volcano, a historic water reservoir, is worth checking out. Alternatively, you can join the Aboriginal Heritage walk to learn about the history of the garden and the significance of Aboriginal culture in Australia.

Hosier Lane

Your Melbourne dog adventure is incomplete without taking a stroll through the city and enjoying the beautiful street art. Hosier Lane, opposite Federation Square, is famous for its sophisticated urban art. The graffiti illustrates political and social issues through vibrant art. Snap a few photos with your pet friends as you walk along the street. Other street art areas to check out in Melbourne are Rutledge Lane, Caledonian Lane and Union Lane.

Caulfield Park

Don’t forget to enjoy a picnic on your Melbourne house sitting trip. The large Caulfield Park provides green space to bond with nature, and you can jog or relax in the field while your furry friends have fun in the fenced off-leash areas.

House sitting Melbourne is an exciting way to see the city. Join TrustedHousesitters' pet-loving community today and let the fun begin!
