About me

personSolo

62, Artist

Kia ora, I have been housesitting since at least 5 years. I have had the privilege of caring for some wonderful pets in amazing places! I am mature, friendly and respectful of other's peace of mind.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I love animals, exploring NZ, and gardening—house sitting brings them together. With decades of family and home experience, I'm reliable and practical. Your pets and gardens will be happily treated and cared for like my own.

I’m a mature, friendly, and reliable professional who has called both New Zealand and Europe home. I grew up with pets, like dogs, cats, birds, cows and calves. We took our German Shepherd Lucky to Kariotahi Beach in all seasons, and for years my mother and Father bred Siamese cats.
For the past 33 years, I raised my two children in Berlin, and I still lease my apartment, so I deeply understand the value of a peaceful, harmonious living space. That experience taught me responsibility, respect ... Read moreI’m a mature, friendly, and reliable professional who has called both New Zealand and Europe home. I grew up with pets, like dogs, cats, birds, cows and calves. We took our German Shepherd Lucky to Kariotahi Beach in all seasons, and for years my mother and Father bred Siamese cats.
For the past 33 years, I raised my two children in Berlin, and I still lease my apartment, so I deeply understand the value of a peaceful, harmonious living space. That experience taught me responsibility, respect for property, and the importance of creating a warm and stable home—values I carry into every house sit.
Since returning to my Kiwi roots, I’ve been working as a gardener in high-end designer gardens and beautiful backyards, which has deepened my passion for plants both indoors and outdoors.
I love the raw beauty of nature and exploring new places, whether it's the ocean, bush or beach. Taking dogs on walks is a fun and constant source of inspiration and discovery! It fuels my creative pursuits, where I get ideas for art and photography projects. I love observing the unique light and different landscapes of Aotearoa. And it is more fun with happy animals!

I am quiet, tidy, and respectful of other people's personal spaces. My years of caring for my own home and family have given me a practical, common-sense approach to life. I have handled the day-to-day tasks of running a household for years and can be trusted to manage any situation with a calm and level head. I treat other peoples spaces with the same care and respect as I would my own.

Sarah was very easy to communicate with, and very respectful of my home. It was very neat and tidy when I came back. Sarah also took great care of my cat Zoe, and sent daily updates with pics. I wouldn't hesitate to have Sarah housesit for me again. Thanks Sarah.
Sarah was excellent, very nice, very friendly and a great communicater. I have no doubts Rosie my dog was well cared for and had a good time with Sarah. The house was left spotless, I would have her back anytime and highly recommend her
Sarah was great, house was perfectly clean and she gave our dog Olive a great time with plenty of walks.
