About Sharr Stark:

Dog-Loving Couple with a Handy Helper

We’re a conscientious, responsible married couple of 32 years who love discovering new places, cultures, food, and ways of life. Travel is a priority for us, and housesitting offers a wonderful way to experience a community while caring for a home and the animals who make it special.

We’re active, outdoorsy, and happiest exploring, cooking, gardening, enjoying water sports, or simply settling into the rhythm of a new place. We both love dogs and have experience raising and training them. We’re currently pet-free, which means we have plenty of love, attention, and time to give to yours.


My husband is a skilled architect and a true hands-on problem solver, with extensive experience caring for, repairing, and maintaining homes. I’m a doer and organizer who loves planning, cooking, gardening, and bringing people together around good food and wine. Together, we’ve cared for and thoughtfully updated a 100-year-old home and raised two wonderful young adults.


A five-week sabbatical in Southeast Asia inspired us to expand our housesitting experience beyond the homes of family, friends, and neighbors. We understand that inviting someone into your home—and trusting them with your beloved pets—is a big deal.  We will care for your home, belongings, and pets with the same thoughtfulness and attention we would give our own. Our goal is for you to return home knowing everything has been well cared for—and that your pets have been happy, loved, and thoroughly spoiled.
