Sharon is fabulous, I could tell straight away that she was amazing with animals. Evie, our dog, took to her straight away. Sharon's communication was top notch, the house was immaculate and the little note she left us was cute. We will definitely be asking Sharon to help us again with our pets & home in the future.
Sharon was a pleasure to have house sit, so lovely and flexible given we had to come home a day early as one of our friends kids got sick. Clean tidy and great communication, highly recommend :-)
Thanks Sarah, Lovely villa in Mt Eden and so central to village and parks. Bubba (spaniel) and Scruffy (west highland terrier) are a delight. Very well-behaved. Family made me feel very welcome and great communication throughout.

Sharon came for her second sit here and was extremely good. The dogs were obviously happy in her company. As from the last time , I'm sure the house was in better condition than when she arrived !! I sincerely hope it's not the last time she house/dog sits for me :-D

Sharon came recently and house sat my two aging dogs. I was really impressed with Sharon all round. The dogs were very happy and the house was in a great condition. The communication with Sharon was easy and she was so approachable. I am hoping she will return, next time I require a sitter !
Thanks Shirely it was a pleasure to housesit for you and spend time with Monty and Flynn. Am looking forward to my return housesit in October.
House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
