Dear Pawrents and Pets,

I have been house and pet sitting for over 2 years now, including a period where I did it full time for 12 months, through the UK, numerous European countries, and Ireland. Most of these sits I got through other house/pet sitting platforms and FB Groups.

I'm originally from NZ and will have been based in the UK for 3 years in April 2025! I can legally live, work, and stay in the UK indefinitely! Its great when your Mum was an expat-Geordie! I am a single lass exploring and experiencing the world - TBH, really living my best life! I have two adult sons who still live in NZ making their own way in the world in a way that makes sense to them!

I have been involved with animals all my life, having grown up on a diary and sheep farm in NZ and have experience with many types of animals including; cats, dogs, chickens, sheep, cattle, horses, rabbits, fish, and birds. And as an 'adult' I have also been 'owned' by various animals! I'm always willing to look after new types of animals, but may draw the line on reptiles, unless you can convince me otherwise!

I love house and pet sitting as it enables me to spend time with animals and provide exceptional care for them in their home and stick to their routine, providing peace of mind for the pawrent that their pets and home are being well cared for.

And the addd bonus for me is that I can earn a bit of extra money, work remotely, and experience a new part of the world, living like a 'local'. I do work full time, primarily remotely, so I do need a good/stable internet connection. I do my work around the needs of your pets/animals, so that they're usual routine is 'kept' to.

Your home will be treated with respect and you will come back home to it being clean, tidy, and well cared for. I have been a home owner for over 30 years and have rented out my own home on AirBnB! I am reliable, will communicate with you before, during, and post-pet sit as much or as little as you need to have piece of mind!

I can provide you with references from previous sits I have completed and more than happy to have an initial video call where you can ask me questions, tell me about your pets and their needs, and your home.

As I currently do not have a car, I do need to be able to get to you, so handy to bus or train stations or an airport - there's usually a work around, unless you are really remote! But I've even managed to make that work with the pawrents picking me up from somewhere. Happy to talk this through with you too!

Open to considering short and long term sits, short notice, or booked well in advance, UK or further afield, I'm all up for visiting new places! If you think I'd be a good fit to do your sit, lets chat!

I am looking forward to doing more pet sitting, meeting new pets, pawrents, and parts of the world!

Best wishes,

Nanny Pawppins, aka Sara!
