About Sarah

My name is Sarah, I'm 35 Hills community my entire life.

Photographer, book nerd, vinyl collector, appreciator of good sustainable living and enjoy many walks in the surrounding hills.

I am currently studying Master of Counselling - Art therapy for Trauma

I'm a very approachable bubbly person with a big heart.

I am a proud Aunty of five nieces and nephews under 16. 

I just returned to Australia after two years stranded in South America due to the pandemic.

I volunteer as a mentor for various nonprofit organisations working with children in secondary schools, in sports and in other educational programs. I love animals and have a big heart for all animals, no matter how big or small or scary. 

I have worked with special needs dogs, including dogs with anxiety, giant breeds, dogs with hip problems, epilepsy and also elderly animals. 

I hope to continue to care for animals in some way along my journey, hoping to help others. I know it's not easy lending your home to another person, a stranger as such. However, I know when I am on holiday or away for work, I want peace of mind to know my home will be looked after as if it was the sitter's own home. I am a non-smoker and can provide a police clearance available upon request.

I thoroughly enjoy cooking, photography, art, music, and losing myself in a good book. House and pet sitting is something I stumbled across many years ago now, when I had my first offer from a friend of a friend to look after their house, dog and cat while they went overseas. Since then, many opportunities have emerged, other great options, met so many lovely people​ and had the pleasure of making many fur friends.

House Sitting
Shannyn, 2018-12-31

Sarah was beyond amazing. She looked after my 12 year old antisocial Bull Terrier and my home for 3 weeks. I came home to a spotless house and very very content dog. I had fantastic communication throughout the time we were away along with many photos. I will highly recommend Sarah to all of our friends and family and will be continuing to use her services in the future.

Thanks again Sarah, Shannyn & Jono

One of my dogs is a rescue dog subject to anxiety. She was anxious with Sarah when she arrived. Sarah rang me for management strategies and as evening approached Minnie settled. Sarah was respectful of Minnie’s anxiety and didn’t try and force the issue. I thought Sarah was excellent.

Familiar with dog training techniques
I have worked with special needs dogs including dogs with anxiety and large breeds, dogs with hip problems and also elderly cats and dogs. I am a mature age full-time student at University and since losing my dog 2 years ago from a rare heart condition, I have not yet felt ready for another addition. I have enjoyed this as work and interacting with the animals brings a smile from ear to ear
