Great with animals/gardens

researcher

I have a huge affinity with animals, and have a lot of experience looking after them.
I am also very meticulous and therefore your house will be treated with excellent care.

I am currently doing sits mainly in and around the Bay of Plenty and Auckland but am happy to consider any location.

I work from home, so I can be around a lot for your pets and the security of your property.

Please scroll through my profile photos to see a few of the wonderful animals I have looked after..

Sarah did a great job looking after the house and cat, you wouldn’t have even known she had been here for a week. Many Thanks
 
STEVE (Riverhead North Island, Mar 2024 - 4 nights)
After a few days away we came home to a very happy cat & a well looked after home. Loved all the photos you sent of Sammy too , We were very happy with Sarah as our house sitter & would definitely ask her again! Thanks again Sarah
 
MAREE (Silverdale North Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Great communication, really happy with Sarah, Thank you!!!
 
NIKKI (Beach Haven North Island, Mar 2024 - 2 nights)
Sarah was a wonderful find. She helped us out at very short notice and we couldn't have had a more compassionate, caring and helpful person. The dogs were very well looked after and the house is sparkling. Would highly recommend getting in touch with Sarah. Thanks again for everything.
 
SAARA (Manly North Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week)
You are very welcome Saara. Couldn't have done it for nicer people. I hope your Mum is doing well back home.
Sarah is very experienced and thoroughly reliable, I was lucky to get her for my pet sit! I'll be booking her ahead next time!
 
KATY (Mangawhai North Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Sarah did a wonderful job of looking after our spoodle Charlie. He was happy, well walked and entertained. I would recommend Sarah to any person needing pet care whilst away.
 
VIV (Devonport North Island, Dec 2023 - 4 nights)
During my time away I felt confident that Sarah would take care of my property and give attention to things as they arose. This was confirmed when I returned. The house and garden were well cared for and just like I left them. Sarah was very responsive to messages and managed very well in what turned out to be a very rushed departure from me. Would recommend Sarah to others.
 
MATTHEW (Red Hill North Island, Apr 2023 - 3 months)
Sarah was great. She helped us out with short notice and kept us informed with how Quinny and the bunnies were going. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned. Would really like to have Sarah back to our house if she were free again .
 
CLAYTON (Chatswood North Island, Jan 2023 - 3 days)
We were very grateful for Sarah's care of our home and our animal family for the 2 weeks we were away. She kept in regular contact with photos and videos of her adventures with Aida (our dog) and our home was amazing on return. Sarah was very easy to communicate with and we are sure Aida didn't miss us one bit. :-) Sarah's own dog stayed here too, but you wouldn't even know there had been an extra dog in the house. Sarah used our car and it was in great condition on return. Thank you Sarah - ... MORE
 
BRENDA AND CRAIG (Tauranga South North Island, Nov 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Many thanks Brenda & Craig! I am glad I was able to help you have a good break away. It was great for Aida to be able to travel to the beach and have a swim pretty much every day you were away, given she is a water dog (so beautiful!) and doesn't live with space to exercise on at home. This ... MORE
I felt very comfortable leaving Sarah to house sit and look after Louis. On return the house was spotless and my little pooch was relaxed and happy I have had Sarah return to do more house sitting and highly recommend her.
 
LIZ (Devonport North Island, Nov 2022)
Sarah stayed last month for a weekend to look after our 2 dogs Tess and Duke. After chatting to Sarah on the phone I immediately knew Tess and Duke would be in capable hands. We arrived home to a lovely clean house and happy dogs. We will definitely contact Sarah again and highly recommend her!! Thanks Sarah.
 
JACKIE (Beach Haven North Island, Oct 2022 - 2 days)
Sarah is very experienced at house sitting and confident looking after all your animals. She cares for the animals like her own and we felt that the horses, goats, dog and cat wouldnt have noticed that we had gone! Excellent communication and the house was left better than we left it. Thank you Sarah Julie & Family.
 
JULIE (Oropi North Island, Sep 2022 - 6 days)
No rating Sarah was our house sitter, for six weeks, looking after our 9 year old dog and 7 year old cat. We returned to 2 very happy pets, and a very tidy house. During her sit she maintained excellent communication, with regular photos and updates of the pets. Would highly recommend Sarah to anyone requiring a completely trustworthy housesitter
TINA (HAMURANA , Aug 2022 - 6 weeks)
We had Sarah house sit and look after our poodle Wilson for 6 weeks. Both Ernie and I would thoroughly recommend Sarah for a house sit and to look after your pets. We returned to a happy dog, a clean tidy house and garden. We appreciated the photos and updates that Sarah sent us regularly. A lovely lady indeed with te added bonus that working from home means no stressed animals.
 
ERIE AND RAYE (Omokoroa North Island, Jun 2022 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Thank you Sarah for looking after our two cats, Ginny and Tommy while we were away on holiday in the south island. We didn't meet Sarah before the housesit but she contacted us regularly with updates and photos of our fur babies and we felt very assured that we had left them in very good hands! Sarah left the house in pristine order with two happy cats when we arrived home. We would love to have Sarah house/pet sit for us again and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.
 
LYNETTE (Northcote Point North Island, Dec 2020 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Sarah looked after our house and small dog Billie recently and we were delighted that she kept us updated regularly with photos of Billie looking very happy and healthy. We came home to a clean and tidy home with fresh bread and milk in the fridge. We would highly recommend Sarah for your housesit :)
 
TRUDIE (Kerikeri North Island, Jul 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Sarah is a really down to earth and responsible sitter. She would never let you down.
 
MOIRA (Ponsonby North Island, Apr 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
Sarah looked after my 2 dogs for 6 days and she ticked all the boxes. It was a short dog/house sit as we had to say goodbye to our beloved dying friend in Sydney. Sarah is friendly, thoughtful, considerate and great at prompt communication with us. She sent photos of the dogs and reported as to their welfare and activities. My 2 Wheaten Terriers clearly loved her and she them. The house was clean and tidy on our return and she even had a meal ready for our late arrival. We would be more ... MORE
 
MARIANNE (Mangawhai North Island, Nov 2018 - 5 days)
Sarah stayed in our home with our 2 pooches for 5 weeks. Sarah is an amazing lady who took care of our dogs with such passion. Our home was immaculate and I would have Sarah back in a heart beat. We were unable to meet up before we went away but all our arrangements went without any worries. Thank you Sarah you feel like one of our family now.
 
MARGARET (Papamoa Beach , Sep 2018)
I am so happy that we discovered Sarah. She looked after our home and my very precious little dog whilst we were sailing in Fiji for 3 months. She is reliable and highly responsible, and I am happy to highly recommend her services. My dog was walked daily and had lots of playtime. It is obvious that he is missing Sarah. She is a gem.
 
LINDA (Opito Bay North Island, Jun 2018 - 3 months 1 week)
No rating Sarah looked after our home and 2 older dogs for over 3 weeks while we were away. She sent us regular updates and photos and we came home to a clean and tidy house and 2 happy, healthy and obviously well cared for and loved dogs. I have no trouble recommending Sarah as a house sitter and would love to have her back in the future.
KERRY (Mangawhai Heads North Island, May 2018 - 3 weeks)
No rating How lucky were we to find Sarah! We are so grateful for the great care she took of Beau our Spoodle, and also Sooty, our cat while we were away for a week (and the house of course!). A gentle soul, Sarah has a great way with animals, and Beau just loved her. (He seems to be still looking for her now!) We loved the occasional photos and updates and felt 110% confident Beau was in good hands. He was walked twice a day, swam and clearly thoroughly enjoyed Sarah's company. It was wonderful that ... MORE
CARMEL (Warkworth North Island, Mar 2018 - 5 nights)
No rating Sarah left our place very clean and tidy. Our animals were happy and she sent update photos every few days over the 2 weeks we were gone, which was lovely.
CHRISTINE (Kerikeri North Island, Mar 2018 - 1 week 6 days)
No rating Sarah did an excellent job looking after our 10 acre property and dogs in our 12 day absence. We found Sarah reliable and conscientious. Our home was beautifully clean and tidy and our four dogs happy and healthy.
HELEN (Papakura North Island, Feb 2018 - 2 weeks)
It was great to have Sarah looking after our wee dog and house. Highly recommended.
 
JACKIE AND ALLAN (Titirangi North Island, Feb 2018 - 4 days)
No rating Sarah is a friendly, laid-back, outgoing person who is fascinating to talk with. She clearly loves animals (and people) and bonded with our dog & cat quickly. Sarah stayed at our house for a week whilst we were in Australia and sent regular txts & photos, our dog Poppy looked very happy with her daily beach swim/run. It was very hot whilst we were away & Sarah was quick to make sure the pets were kept cool & comfortable in the heat. The house was left beautifully clean & tidy and Sarah ... MORE
SUSANNE (Titirangi North Island, Jan 2018 - 1 week 1 day)
I would like to endorse our fabulous housesitter Sarah for the care and attention she paid on her housesit for us recently. She lavished attention on our dog Timmy, took great care in looking after the garden and house, and even came to collect us from the airport at 6:30am in the morning! I cannot recommend her highly enough.
