House sitting in Sydney

Want to stay in a city with some of the world’s most famous surf spots, coolest sights and cuddly pets? It sounds like house sitting in Sydney is for you!

From the beach to the bush, cute pets are looking for caring sitters to keep them company while their owners are away. It’s the perfect way for pet lovers to avoid hotels and find free accommodation in Sydney homes instead. Where will house sitting in Sydney take you? Walking a four-pawed tour guide around the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, or chilling with kitties while you fire up a barbie in your own Bondi backyard?

Centennial Park

House sitting in Sydney allows you to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and make new pet friends on your trip. Centennial Parklands provides a tranquil green space for walks and picnics if you are looking for a place to relax. The designated off-leash areas allow your four-legged friends to play with other pets. Don’t forget to keep pets away from the pond areas. Centennial Park also has two dog-friendly cafes where you can get gourmet goodies and treats for your picnic.

Burrows Park

Take up house sitting jobs in Sydney and enjoy morning walks in open spaces with your furry friend. Make a pit-stop at Burrows Park and marvel at the green spaces for walks and jogging. Dogs can also roam off-leash freely as you socialise or catch up on your workout sessions at the outdoor gym. You can grab a beer in the sun as dogs play at the Clovelly Bowling Club.

Sea Cliff Bridge

Are you looking for exciting activities to do while looking after a dog in Sydney? How about a weekend drive with your pet friends to the spectacular Sea Cliff Bridge? The bridge is in the northern suburbs of Wollongong, an hour south of Sydney. Walk across the scenic bridge and appreciate the beauty of the coastal surroundings. Dogs can tag along on-leash along the 665-metre walk.

Kurnell

When house sitting in Sydney, Kurnell is the perfect spot to enjoy a dip in the off-leash dog beaches. Start your expeditions at Silver Beach on the Botany Bay side of the peninsula. The waters are shallow, ideal for less confident pet swimmers. Your dogs can also have a great time playing in the water fountain at the off-leash section near the Bonna Point Reserve. If you want to visit the reserve, dogs should be on a leash.

Bondi to Coogee coastal walk

The Bondi to Coogee coastal walk is a must-visit on your Sydney house sitting stay. The walking path meanders along a spectacular coastline and provides scenic views. While dogs can tag along for the walk, the beaches on the walking path do not permit dogs. So, stick to the footpaths on the beaches. Fortunately, the route has off-leash parks where pups can play and rest during the walk.
