About

Hi, I'm Sharon. I am a non-smoking, fit and strong middle-aged single woman, who lives a quiet lifestyle, is responsible, clean and tidy and likes things in their place.

I'm a very experienced petsitter, having done this on an ongoing basis for several years now. The owners have been pleased with my care of their loved pets and their homes, and I have had a number of repeat customers, and referrals through them.

My experience includes pets with special needs, such as health and anxiety issues, medications required, or special behavioural issues.

Because I do this on an ongoing basis, I try to book myself up as much as possible in advance, and I have never cancelled a sit, which I have heard has happened to other people.

Having been a home owner myself, I know the importance of looking after a property, and as a past tenant my landlords wished to renew my lease. I have a police check and references too.

I'm really missing some pet company and am ready to own another dog but am not in a position to commit to one until I know I am settled somewhere. In the meantime, I would love to care for somebody else's pets and look after their home.

If you would like more information and think I sound like a good fit for your home and loved pets, please be in contact.

Sharon is a great sitter. We met her a couple of months before we went away and again the week before we left. Sharon is very organised and kept us up to date with our pets. She dated our mail and asked questions when she needed to. We'll be very happy to have Sharon look after our house and pets again and highly recommend her.

My husband and I selected Sharon to house sit (well mainly cat sit) for us whilst we were away in January/February 2019 from a list of around 15 or so, primarily due to the references provided and the introductory email Sharon sent us. One of our cats was becoming quite elderly (17) and had developed some bad habits and as well as health issues that required medicating daily. In addition, our younger cat also had her own issues as a very shy cat. Needless to say, after meeting Sharon we were quite confident that she would cope with our high maintenance pair and they would with her:) Sharon's organisation and request for information prior to the sit provided us with comfort that she was experienced in looking after other people's houses and pets and knew what to ask in order to make the experience for all of us as relaxing as possible. Sharon kept in touch with us whilst we were away to let us know how things were going and sent us pictures regularly, which provided great peace of mind and meant that we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. When we returned the house was clean, nothing was out of place, all the washing was done, beds were made and the cats were fed. Our cats also looked like they were very well looked after and were noticeably calm and happy. Overall, Sharon was friendly and easy to communicate with, very organised and experienced and a lovely caring person. We never once doubted our choice of house sitter while we were away and upon our return we can honestly say that we would readily have Sharon back for any length of time. Peta & Adam

Sharon is a very organised and caring pet sitter. We felt very comfortable leaving our cat and home in her hands. It is obvious Sharon is an animal lover, and cared for our pet as she would her own. Sharon’s communication was great in the lead-up to our trip and her stay, she asked lots of questions about our cat and our home to ensure we were comfortable and she was prepared. We also appreciated getting a few pics of our cat while we were away. We returned to a very happy cat and a sparkling clean home. Highly recommended!

My wife and I organised for Sharon to look after our unit and our cat while we were away for 7 weeks at the end of 2018. This was the first time we had someone look after our property and the cat via a house sitting website. After meeting with Sharon for the first time, she made us feel comfortable with the whole process as we were a little uncertain initially. Sharon was in contact with us regularly via email to let us know how our cat was doing as he doesn't like new people in his surroundings. Sharon was fantastic looking after our cat and had the patience to esnure the cat accepted her being in the property. Our unit was spotless when we arrived home as Sharon ensured the place was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Sharon to anyone wanting a house and pet sitter. Thanks again Sharon for everything. Chris & Kelsi

Sharon Oliva looked after our cat and our home and garden for nearly a month this winter 2018. when we were in Europe. She was a wonderful sitter, keeping in contact, sending photos of our pussycat, and attending to all details. .The house was spotless and tidier than we left it---a pleasure for us to come back to our home after a hectic time away. Our cat took to her immediately (he can be fussy) and soon monopolised her knees! He was extremely happy and relaxed when we returned.. Sharon is a lovely person with a great personality, and is., honest, responsible and meticulous. We found her to be absolutely trustworthy and thoughtful about every issue.. We cannot recommend her highly enough-----grab her if you can ! Thanks so much again, Sharon ! We cannot recommend her highly enough--grab her if you can!

Sharon was an excellent house and pet sitter. I have two huskies, one with special needs and Sharon's friendly attitude and clear communication made me feel great from the start. Sharon asked all the right questions before we went away and kept in contact while we were on holidays to keep my mind at rest. I returned to a clean home and two happy dogs, couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend Sharon to anyone needing a sitter.

Sharon Oliva Pet Sitting Experience.docx

Past pet sit experiences (18/02/2018)

We had Sharon house/pet sit for us July/August of 2017 and I couldn't have asked for a better person to do it We had Sharon over for a meet prior to us heading to Europe and Ron bonded with her instantly. Ron is a pretty laid back cat but does have some naughty habits and Sharon was great and looked after him so well. She stayed in contact with us while we were away and sent some pictures of Ron. When we came home, the house was sparkling (better than when we had moved in) and Ron was happy and chatty. I am so thankful for Sharon, she made leaving Ron for a holiday easier as we knew he was in great hands. Sharon is kind, highly trustworthy, kept the house spotless, is a great communicator and catered to Ron's every need. I couldn't have asked for a better housesitter and I highly recommend her. We are using her again this year when we are away. Louise Stanners (Mooroolbark)

To home & pet owners. Sharon Oliva looked after our Black Labrador Zulu for a couple of weeks, whilst we were in the US. Zulu is a 4 year old with plenty of energy and can be somewhat demanding. We returned home to a well behaved dog and a clean house. We would have no hesitation recommending Sharon to look after that "precious " member of your family. Regards David Atwill 0432113034
