Experienced house sitter who works from home
Pet care experience
I have been house sitting for over four years now and began whilst at uni. I have over 50 house sits in my experience and my own private website and insurance too where you can find all of my reviews and my availability calendar. I have experience with cats, small animals and all types of dogs; large and small, young and old, playful or sometimes a bit shy! I cater to their needs and provide a relaxed environment. The animals I look after always have a lovely time and seem to be on their best behaviour! I am also fully insured to transport animals and have a full clean uk drivers licence if so. In regards to home care I am very tidy and leave every home I take care of in peak condition. My partner, Jack, has joined me on house sits since last year and is equally tidy, pet adoring and lovely! If you would prefer just to have me sit alone though, please do let me know. I fully understand that some animals are more comfortable with women and we can have a talk to see what we can arrange. Please message me for more reviews that are available on my personal website.
Reviews
Sarah looked after our two cats whilst we were away for a few days. She was great, arriving when she said she would, doing everything we asked and we returned home to relaxed happy, looked after cats. We definitely recommend her and will book her again. 🐾
Sarah was an absolute dream to find, after she helped us out at short notice after a previous booking cancelled. Sarah stayed in our home for 5 days to look after our dog who gets stressed in new environments. Sarah was extremely professional asking all about our dogs needs and habits but also any requirements in the house during her stay, also providing references, proof of insurance and dbs checks for her business and put me totally at ease having someone to stay in our home. Sarah provided daily updates about our dog and home, with our dog totally relaxed while being looked after. when we returned the house was spotless and the bed linen washed and changed and bins put out too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy house sitter.
Sarah has house sat while we have been on holiday 3 times. We have 3 cats and 3 dogs and she exercises the dogs and sends videos of the cats cosying up to the log burner which they are used to doing every evening! She genuinely loves all pets and it is reciprocated . She always arrives in plenty of Time before a flight etc and waits to leave until she knows we are not delayed and on our way. The house is even clean and tidy on our return. Sue A

I always make sure I have an eye on your pet, or get to know they're routine enough to know what they're up to at most times of the day. I will send you a pet sitting information pack before I sit for you and on this you can write any house rules for the pets - including where is safe for them to be when/if I need to go out!
Information Sarah W. would like to know about your pet
I will send you a detailed "house sitting information pack" where you can answer every question I need to know about your dog! This should cover everything I need to know and you can send it back to me to read before the sit and I'll let you know if I have any further questions!
A typical day
I try to stick to your pets best routine as much as possible! For pups, this usually means a good walk in the morning, some cuddles and a toilet break at lunch time, and some playtime in the afternoon. We'll play stimulating games like "find it" and tug of war! For cats my routine mainly involves a lot of hanging out nearby and a bit of playtime!

Availability
I work for myself to my own schedule so it's very easy for me to fit your pets routine around my own! I usually write in the morning, generally after a dog walk for the pup I'm looking after, and then teach or complete some of my commissions in the afternoon. Playing with pets helps me reset and break up my day!
