Hi there, I’m Sandy.
I’m a highly experienced, fit, active and deeply caring person who genuinely loves looking after homes, gardens, and—of course—your beautiful pets (when applicable). House and pet minding isn’t just something I do… it’s something I thoroughly enjoy. I have my own home, which I love to rent out when I'm minding and writing. I've looked after fish, chickens, horses, birds and many, many dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I find them all great company and adorable.

When you head off on your holiday or work trip, you can relax knowing everything is in safe, loving hands. Your pets will be treated like my own—kept happy, calm, and well-cared-for. Your home will stay clean and tidy, and your gardens and lawns will be maintained exactly the way you like them.

Despite the old saying, you really can be both a dog and cat person—and I’m living proof. I adore them equally.

I work remotely as a semi-retired writer, which means I’m home a lot, giving your pets lots of company and your property a consistent presence.

I’m very happy to meet in person where possible, or via Zoom/FaceTime. It’s important to make sure the fit feels right for everyone. If you are new to pet or house sitting, please feel free to message me with any questions at all.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and browse through my many 5-star reviews.

Have a great day/night 😊

Sandy looked after our puppy and 2 cats at our home and did a wonderful job. Our puppy had such a great time with her, swimming in our pool and going for walks. Everyone was very well taken care of and Sandy sent regular updates and photos of our fur babies which was so lovely. I would highly recommend Sandy if you're looking for someone to take care of your fur babies while you're away.

Absolutely happy to recommend Sandy! She house-sat for us and took wonderful care of our horses, chooks, and our dog Lucy. We loved receiving regular photo updates—such a thoughtful touch that really put our minds at ease while we were away. The animals were clearly happy and well looked after, and we came home to a neat and tidy house. Sandy was reliable, caring, and respectful—couldn’t have asked for more!

Sandy was wonderful! This was our first time needing a pet / house sitter, and we were a little anxious about leaving our kitten, but Sandy was great! She was absolutely lovely, so easy to communicate with and incredibly reassuring. We felt confident that our kitten and home were in great hands. Sandy sent us daily updates, which really put our minds at ease, especially for my 8 year old son who was very anxious about leaving his little best friend. Our home was also well looked after, everything was perfect, we couldn’t be more pleased with her care. We will definitely book Sandy again in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, caring pet sitter!
