About Sarah

Hi, I’m Sarah, I’m in my 30s and recently returned to Christchurch after nearly a decade overseas. I’m based in North New Brighton and happy to travel within Canterbury. I specialise in house sitting, so your pets can stay relaxed and comfortable in their own home while you’re away.

I work from home in a professional role, which means I’m around for most of the day. This is perfect for pets who enjoy company, need a consistent routine, or just benefit from a bit of extra care and attention. It also means your home is lived in and well looked after while you’re away.

I grew up with both dogs and cats and currently live with my fiancé and our four-year-old rescue cat, Smokey, so I understand how much pets are part of the family. 

While living in Australia, I volunteered at a dog shelter where I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with a range of needs, including anxious or high-energy pets, and I always aim to provide calm, patient, and consistent care.

My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible, while also keeping your home tidy and secure. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing everything is going well.

Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to chat or have any questions — I’d love to hear from you!
