I’ve owned my own homes since I was 17, so I’m genuinely house‑proud and treat every space with the same respect as my own.I’m an animal lover through and through — pets are part of the family, and I’m confident with all personalities, routines, and quirks. My two kids are off at uni now, so house‑sitting gives me the perfect mix of company, quiet, and purpose. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me playing pickleball or enjoying Christchurch’s outdoors. If you’re looking for someone reliable, calm, clean, and caring, I’d love to look after your home and pets so you can travel with complete peace of mind. Late last year I completed 6 weeks house-sit in napier for a lovely couple who did a Europe trip. On their return they asked me to house-sit again 3 more times. I am comfortable mowing lawns. Can meet with you prior to house-sit whenever suits you. Happy holidays 😊 Sarah

Sarah was absolutely fantastic! She left the house spotless, communicated wonderfully, and took excellent care of the dog. I’d highly recommend her to anyone—perfect house and pet sitter
We were delighted with the care Sarah took with our home and animals… even taking them out to engage with family in the local community. Communication and concern were at the forefront of our home and animals best interests and Tilly and Gus were well loved and looked after. I would welcome Sarah back anytime and highly recommend her to others who are looking for a conscientious, friendly and per loving person.
