Sally House & Pet Sitting

More information about this house sitter

Hello, I’m Sally - a Sydney-based website developer who works remotely, which means I’m home most of the day and able to keep consistent, familiar routines for the animals I care for.

House sitting has been my full-time way of life for many years. During that time, I’ve looked after a wide range of homes and pets - from large, strong, high-energy dogs to older animals, anxious pets, and those requiring medication. I take the time to understand each animal as an individual and keep their days as settled and familiar as possible while you’re away.

I’m very active and confident handling bigger dogs, while also being calm and patient with animals who need a steadier, more reassuring presence. Homeowners often mention how relaxing it is to be away knowing their pets are in capable hands, with thoughtful updates along the way (without feeling overwhelmed).

I’m naturally tidy, respectful, and attentive in other people’s homes. I understand how personal a home is, and I aim for you to return to a space that feels just as you left it - comfortable, cared for, and easy to come back to.

Alongside house sitting, I run my own web development business and represent Australia in elite beach handball competitions. That background has shaped how I approach this work: reliable, prepared, and comfortable taking responsibility seriously.

I do charge a modest fee for house sitting, which reflects the level of experience, care, and consistency I provide. I’m always happy to discuss details once we’ve met and confirmed the arrangement feels right for everyone.

I have my own car and am fully mobile, and for sits outside the Sydney area, travel arrangements can be discussed in a practical and straightforward way. I’m happy to provide telephone references and a police check on request, and I always prefer to meet beforehand so we can ensure it’s a good fit - especially for your pets.

If you’re looking for someone experienced, calm, and genuinely attentive to both your animals and your home, I’d love to meet you. Read more...
