Services

Overnight & Extended Home Care

Calm companionship in your pet's own space.  

Overnight and extended stays are suited to pets who feel most at ease with a consistent, familiar presence while you are away. Care is provided within your home, gently maintaining your pet’s natural rhythm and daily routine. Care is offered in a quiet, attentive way, supporting your pet’s needs across the day, evening and overnight, allowing them to feel settled, secure and undisturbed in their own surroundings. Each stay is reserved for one household at a time, creating space for a dedicated, unhurried presence and genuinely attentive care. Thoughtful updates and photos are shared, so you can step away knowing your pet is not only cared for but truly at ease. Especially suited to pets who prefer company, senior animals or those who thrive on routine and familiarity. This is not a rushed or shared service, your home and pets are the sole focus during your booking. Overnight care includes your pet’s daytime, evening, overnight and morning routines. I stay in your home for the duration of the booking, providing calm, consistent companionship and care, with only short outings when needed.

 

 

Daily Home Visits

Gentle check-ins to maintain rhythm and comfort.

Daily visits are ideal for shorter periods away or for pets who are comfortable spending time alone between visits.   Each visit is carried out with care and intention, supporting your pet’s usual rhythm through feeding, fresh water, light enrichment and quiet interaction suited to their nature. Updates and photos are shared following each visit, offering reassurance that your pet remains settled and comfortable in their own home. Well suited to independent pets, cats and those who require gentle check-ins throughout the day.

 

In-Home Daytime Care

Gentle structure, familiar surroundings, steady companionship.

In-home daytime care is ideal for pets who benefit from company and continuity throughout the day while you are away. Care is offered within your home, allowing your pet to remain settled in their familiar environment with their usual routine gently maintained. Time is spent in a calm, attentive way, offering companionship, light enrichment and quiet presence suited to your pet’s individual nature. This service provides a steady daytime presence without the need for overnight care, supporting pets who may feel unsettled alone for extended periods or who simply thrive with company nearby. You will receive thoughtful updates and photos, offering reassurance that your pet is comfortable, relaxed and well cared for. Well suited to puppies, senior pets or those who prefer not to be alone for long periods. Daytime care is tailored to your pet’s needs, with flexible timeframes discussed prior to booking.

 

In-Home Care (Limited Availability)

A calm, home-based space where your dog is cared for as one of my own.

I occasionally offer care within my own home, a quiet, settled environment where dogs are welcomed as part of the family. As I share my home with two dachshunds, this space is best suited to dachshunds, offering familiarity, comfort and a harmonious environment for all dogs in my care. This offering is available on a limited, case-by-case basis to ensure balance and wellbeing within the home. If you feel your dachshund may be a good fit, you are warmly welcome to reach out for a chat.

Meet & Greet

Before confirming a booking, I offer a gentle meet and greet so we can get to know each other and ensure your pets feel comfortable and at ease. This allows me to understand their routine, preferences and any specific needs, so I can provide the calm, attentive care they are used to.

 

Travel & Consultation

An initial meet and greet is complimentary within my local service area. For homes further away, a small travel contribution applies. Any additional travel will always be discussed with you prior to confirming your booking.

 

Booking & Payment

Following our meet and greet, your booking will be confirmed once your deposit has been received and your dates secured. A 30% deposit is required to reserve your booking, with the remaining balance due 48 hours prior to the commencement of care. Payment can be made via PayID or bank transfer.
If you need to cancel, deposits are refundable with a minimum of 14 days notice. Cancellations made within 14 days may result in the deposit being retained, as those dates have been reserved exclusively for your booking. 
If a booking is shortened or ends earlier than planned, the full reserved dates remain payable, as they have been held exclusively for your pet’s care.

If you have any questions at all, you are always welcome to reach out.

Welcoming care for dogs, cats, birds and a variety of companion animals, including those in rural and farm settings.

Caring for your pets is at the heart of what I do.

Alongside my pet sitting, I am also an intuitive artist, creating soulful pet portraits through my art practice, Tylee-Sara Healing & Connection. Many of the animals I care for gently inspire the artwork I create, offering a meaningful way to capture their essence.

Client Testimonials

Kind words from families I’ve supported.


Absolutely fantastic pet sitter. My two dogs were so well cared for and clearly loved while we were away. Great communication, with photo updates each day and total peace of mind. Will definitely be booking again.

 

Jayne, Pet Owner

 


Our dog doesn’t cope well with change and can be quite sensitive.  Sarah’s calm way with him really helped.  She took the time to understand his needs and made sure he felt safe and settled.  It gave us real peace of mind while we were away.

 

Chris, Pet Owner

 

Sarah was fantastic to deal with and my dog absolutely loved her. Everything was very easy to arrange and I would highly recommend Silver Moon. I will definitely be booking again.

 

Kate, Pet Owner

 


We arrived home to very excited dogs who all looked extremely well cared for and happy. Thank you again for helping us at such short notice and for the lovely artwork, which now has pride of place on the fridge.


 Pet Owner


The house was beautifully cared for, the animals were happy and settled and we absolutely loved the paintings. You captured their expressions so perfectly.

Experience & Background

My background includes experience within established boarding kennels, boutique pet resorts and animal welfare environments where I have cared for animals with a wide range of temperaments and medical needs.  
Through this work, I have supported anxious and sensitive pets, administered medications and maintained consistent, attentive care routines.  
I have also assisted in the care of native wildlife in the Northern Territory, deepening my understanding of animal behaviour, patience and quiet observation.  
Alongside this experience, I bring a calm, thoughtful presence into each home, taking the time to understand your pet’s individual personality, preferences and routine. This allows me to offer steady, attentive in-home care, helping your pets feel safe, settled and genuinely supported within the comfort of their own space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pets do you care for?

I care for dogs, cats and a range of companion animals. I am also open to caring for birds and farm animals where support is needed. Every animal has their own personality and rhythm and I take the time to understand their routine, sensitivities and comforts so they feel safe and settled while you are away. If you are unsure whether I can care for your pet, you are always welcome to reach out for a chat.
Care is always tailored to your pet’s individual needs and home environment.

 

How do you ensure the safety of my pets?

Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my highest priority. I follow your home routines carefully and ensure your home remains secure, while offering a steady, attentive presence throughout my time in your care. I do not introduce unfamiliar animals or environments unless discussed with you beforehand. You will receive regular updates and photos, so you feel reassured while you are away. Clear communication and consistency are always maintained. Your home and pets are treated with the same care and respect I would give my own.

 

What is your booking process like?

You can contact me via the enquiry form or email. From there, we arrange a gentle meet and greet in your home so I can get to know you and your pets in their familiar environment. During this time, we will discuss routines, feeding, medications and any quirks or comforts that help your pet feel at ease. Once dates are confirmed and a deposit is received, your booking is secured and a confirmation is provided. A calm introduction is important for both you and your pets, allowing everyone to feel comfortable and settled before your time away.
