My name is Sheryl and my housesitting buddy is Benji, a four year old Shih Tzu. We both love the experience of looking after other peoples pets so that you can take a worry-free break away.
Benji grew up with cats and is very easy around them and loves to play with other dogs. He is very friendly, vaccinated, neutered and fully house-trained. If you prefer to have me on my own, Benji is always happy to go visit with friends or family.
Although I am now retired, I am very healthy and fit. When I was working, my varied background included running a Health Clinic, managing an Optometry Clinic, care-giving for elderly people, and commercial and domestic cleaning. I am a born and bred Kiwi and a grandmother of 2 lovely boys who absolutely adore Benji. I am extremely practical, reliable, resilient, clean and tidy, and a non-smoker.
I have been looking after dogs and cats for a number of years. Benji and I love our doggie walks and he always is happier with company.

Sheryl took excellent care of our cat Marceline and was a fantastic communicator throughout. You could see she was a genuine pet lover from the get go. It was wonderful to be away and know our cat was in such wonderful hands. Thank you Sheryl!
Sheryl was wonderful, I felt completely at ease leaving my furbaby with her, over Christmas no less!
We received plenty of updates and photos. Poppy had a delightful time playing with Benji and was quite put out when he had to leave.
We'll definitely be contacting Sheryl again whenever we need to go away.
