About

Hi, I'm Sharon, a corporate professional who is also a professional house and pet sitter.

I have house, dog, cat, fish and pool sat for friends and friends of friends over many years, deciding to 'turn pro' in March 2018. I rented a garage, set it up as a walk-in wardrobe and was fully embracing and completely loving the lifestyle that was house and pet sitting...until COVID-19 in March 2020.

After a two years hiatus renting in Sydney, I resumed my 'corporate gypsy lifestyle' in March 2022. Looking forward to being on 'permanent holidays' again living in and working from lovely homes...with the added bonus of furry, feathered or finned friends to hang out with.

For me, house sitting is a two-way relationship...well three or four when you include the pets. I believe it's important (if safe and possible) that everyone meets and establishes a relationship before the house sit commences. There needs to be a match...for everyone. The pet parents, the pet sitter and of course...the pets.

I am a Senior Manager with a financial services organisation and have been working from home since March 2020 and will be working in the city office 1-2 days a week from June 2022. I also have my own LinkedIn Profile Writing, Keynote Speaking and Executive Coaching side hustle.

I am a non-smoker and have my own car. WiFi is essential and off-street or undercover parking is always welcome.

In my free time, I 'typically' like to go for walks, hang out at art galleries, visit local beaches and produce markets, theatre and cinema, Netflix or other streaming series, op shop and enjoy eating out and supporting the local community in the new and interesting locations that my house sitting gigs take me...when safe to do so.

I would love to be of service if you would like your home and pets lovingly cared for while you are away.

I have a portfolio of client recommendations and you can also view numerous recommendations on this site and on my house and pet sitting Facebook page, Sydney House and Pet Sitting Services.

Looking forward to meeting you

Speak soon

Sharon looked after our 2 ragdoll cats and bonsai trees/plants for 3.5 weeks. We were very grateful for her managing some complex needs of one of our cats as well as the daily watering and checking of the plants. She kept us updated while we were away with regular messages and photos on WhatsApp, which gave me peace of mind. Upon return everything was good. Thanks Sharon!

We couldn’t be happier with Sharon, who took amazing care of our home and our dog, Felix. From the moment we met, it was clear she was trustworthy, kind, and genuinely loves animals. Felix, who can be a bit shy, warmed up immediately and was clearly well looked after—happy, relaxed, and well-exercised when we returned. Our home was spotless, and she kept in touch with updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible house sitter. We’d happily have Sharon back anytime!

Sharon looked after our dog Piper for 19 days, she kept us up to date with stories and photos daily. Piper went from hiding under the bed the first day to sleeping on Sharon's bed she was so comfortable with her. I highly recommend Sharon and would have no hesitation in having her watch our dog again and house again!

Sharon looked after our 2 mini-foxie fur-babies for a week. When Sharon met our puppies they took an immediate liking to her. Each day we were away, Sharon would send us a number of pictures throughout the day of how our girls were doing. Our puppies were very happy throughout the week. Our home was immaculate when we arrived back from our break. I personally recommend Sharon for house sitting. So much so that we've book Sharon in for our next holiday.

This was our first experience using a house sitter and we could not have been more happy with Sharon. She sent us regular updates with photos of our cats and was very easy to communicate with. She left the place cleaner than she found it. Highly recommended!! We only arrived back home this morning and have already booked her for our next holiday.

Sharon stayed at our one bed apartment for just over two weeks whilst we were on holiday. Sharon took great care of our large collection of plants, and most were in better condition than when we left. Our cat Cecil was very happy with the care that he received whilst we were away, Sharon kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and pics of Cecil. We would highly recommend Sharon for future bookings and we have already locked in a future date for another house sit.

We highly recommended Sharon. She was amazing! It took no time at all for Sharon to have our GSP, Nelson, under control and eating out of her hand, and for us to feel happy that we were leaving our boy in good hands. While we were away it was particularly reassuring to get photos of Nelson and Sharon out and about and relaxing together at home as the days went by. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog and a spotless house.

I recently went away for 4 weeks and left my cat - Marvin - my fish, and my flat in the care of Sharon. Not only was everyone and everything well looked after, Sharon sent me photos almost every day of how she and Marvin were getting along, and from what I could see he wasn't missing me at all! I will definitely be calling on Sharon next time I want to go anywhere, and I have no hesitation in recommending her services as a cat, fish and flat sitter! Five stars!

We had a last -minute need for a house- sitter over Christmas and Sharon was a perfect match! Sharon responded quickly to our add and was a regular and informative communicator throughout the process, staying in touch by text and sending us updates with pics of the kitties while we were away. She came around to meet us and the kitties before we agreed on the house sit so that everyone was comfortable with the arrangement. She was personable and friendly. Sharon is a professional house sitter with lots of experience, so we felt confident that she would do a great job. Sharon did indeed do a great job of looking after our kitties and left the house immaculate. We would absolutely use her services again and have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone out there looking for reliable, organised, professional house-sitter. Carol Saunders Rozelle

Sharon looked after our home and beloved Peppa while we were travelling for three weeks in September/October 2015. We have had a house sitters before and felt very happy when we met Sharon, that she would care for both our home and dog during our trip. Sharon is very friendly and professional in her approach and genuinely cares for the welfare of the animals in her care. We received regular photos and messages and really enjoyed seeing our Peppa happy at home and enjoying Sharon's company. We arrived home to a happy and healthy dog and a very clean house. We thoroughly recommend Sharon as a house sitter and will be booking her for future house sits when we travel. Peter & Julie Roebig
