About
Hi, I’m Sarah — a responsible, warm, and adventurous house sitter who genuinely enjoys the new experiences and connections that come with caring for people’s homes and pets. I have house sitting experience having done it on and off over the years, initially as an arrangement with friends or work colleagues. I enjoy the change of environment, the different homes and locations. I’ve lived on Auckland’s North Shore for big parts of my life and this year I am making a big personal change to amicably leave a 27 year marriage now my daughters are young adults and open up to what life has to offer. Due to part time work commitments I seek to stay based in the North Shore and Central Auckland area’s for the forseeable and will enjoy longer sits where possible. The occasional break outside of Auckland is also on the cards.
My Lifestyle & Approach
I’m naturally clean, tidy, and organised, and I take pride in respecting the way you like to keep your home. I work outside the home, so while I can provide plenty of attention, walks, and care, I’m not able to offer full‑day companionship for pets who need someone home constantly. My days are varied so I am home some days more than others.
I am fit and love being outdoors and staying active. I find that spending time in nature and with animals is grounding and restorative. I’ve grown up with cats, and I’ve also worked as a part‑time dog walker, so I’m comfortable with a range of personalities and energy levels.
Experience With Homes, Boats & Travel
I’m a homeowner myself and have previously owned a 6‑berth campervan, so I’m familiar with the practicalities of maintaining different types of living spaces. I also have boating experience — from childhood sailing to crewing on yacht races out of Westhaven and sailing as far as Tonga — so I’m confident with boat systems and routines if you need a boatsit.
What You Can Expect
I follow instructions carefully and treat your home, pets, and garden with the same care I give my own. I’m mature, reliable, and someone you can trust to keep things running smoothly while you’re away. I may occasionally wish to have a family member stay, or a friend to visit but I always discuss this in advance and only host guests who are respectful and aligned with my values.

Our cat, Snowball, has a ‘stranger danger’ attitude. However near the end of the stay SB allowed Sarah to pick him up. Thus she and he had become good friends. Sarah also kept in touch throughout the house sit.
Glenfield, Auckland | 13th March 2026 - 1st April 2026
On arrival home, Sarah had left the place in immaculate presentation and even made up our bed.
If circumstances allow, I would definitely have Sarah house sit again. I am happy to provide verbal reference, if required 021921545. Graham H
