The Modern Day Gypsy
Exclusive, high-end luxury house
& pet care for busy professionals
About Meg
My name is Meg Drummond, and I like to think of myself as a
Modern Day Gypsy — living a life full of freedom, adventure, and
meaningful connection.
In 2023, I took a leap of faith and began house and pet sitting
professionally. Three years in, I’ve built a life I absolutely love — one
that revolves around caring for animals, exploring beautiful new
places, and living with purpose. I offer an exclusive, high-end service
tailored to discerning clients — including executives, entrepreneurs,
and frequent travelers who value peace of mind while away.
Many of my clients are high-level professionals who run major
corporations and travel frequently for business.
They trust me with their homes and their beloved pets because I
bring a level of professionalism, care, and reliability that aligns with
their lifestyle. With a long list of happy clients, glowing references,
and an ever-growing love for the pets I’ve cared for, I offer a
boutique service that prioritizes quality over quantity.
I’m deeply passionate about animals and make sure every pet
receives the love, cuddles, walks, and attention they deserve. I work
remotely and maintain a flexible schedule, so your furry family
members are never left alone for long. If they need companionship
throughout the day, I’m there.
A little about me:
When I’m not pet-sitting, I’m a singer and voice-over artist — you
may have heard me as the voice of CommBank, Finder.com, or
Menulog! I’ve also worked as a senior producer in film and TV for
over 7 years, which allows me the freedom to live this fulfilling,
mobile lifestyle.
Above all, I’m trustworthy, discreet, highly professional, and
genuinely passionate about what I do. I’d love to connect and see if
I’d be the right fit for your home and pets.
Don’t just take my word for it — I invite you to read testimonials from
my wonderful clients below, including references.
Looking forward to connecting,
Meg

“Meg is an exceptional candidate for house sitting.
Meg provided her house-sitting services for my apartment in Surry Hills during a week of October 2022, when I was in Singapore on Business and I am
pleased to express my complete satisfaction with her performance. During Meg’s tenure as my house sitter, I found her to be responsible, trustworthy, and
highly capable. She exhibited a keen attention to detail, ensuring
that my apartment was well-maintained and secure throughout her stay.
Meg not only adhered to any specific instructions I provided but also took the initiative to handle unexpected situations with competence and efficiency.
In addition to her reliability, Meg demonstrated a genuine care for the well-being of my property. She approached the task with dedication, maintaining a neat
and organised living space, and responsibly managing any required household tasks.
Moreover, her attentiveness extended to the care of my plants and ensuring the
overall security of the premises, and her small dog Chewie is very well behaved.
I felt confident entrusting her with the responsibility of overseeing my home during
my absence.
I would recommend Meg for any house-sitting opportunities and am
confident that she will bring the same level of dedication and reliability to any future
sits. If you have any further questions or require additional information, please feel free
to contact me.
Thank you for considering Meg for this important responsibility.”

“I have had the privilege of entrusting
Meg with the responsibility of house-
sitting and caring
for my dog Oakley while I was away on
vacation with my daughter in Hawaii.
I can attest to Meg’s exceptional
qualities of being respectful, organised,
and honest. Her meticulous care
extended not only to my residence but
also to the well-being of my pet and the
maintenance of my plants.”
“Meg has done an amazing job looking
after our house, dog and 2 cats. We
were away for 10 weeks and knowing
she was taking care of everything we
had a fantastic holiday. We arrived home
to a clean and tidy place with food for
the animals and us. I would happily
recommend Meg for any future house
sitting and would have her back for any
future trips.
Excellent work”
“Meg is a lovely lady who cared for our
house and our 12 year old dog. When
we returned our house was perfect just
how we left it, our dog Boz was happy
and healthy Meg has done a great job.
We were sent photos and videos
throughout her stay which we loved ,
and communication was great too. I
would recommend
Meg as a great house sitter.”

"Meg looked after our two dogs and
house while we were away for a week.
When you leave your pet you want to
know that they are being loved and
cared for just as you would.
Meg did just that, she took on all my
many instructions and the dogs loved
her. When we arrived home they
were happy and healthy, not only that,
Meg went above and beyond and the
house was so lovely and tidy.
Would not hesitate to recommend Meg
at all. Can I give her 6 stars out of 5.”
"Meg looked after our fury child Ziggy
and our wonderful 4 chickens, wi have a
lard produce backyard and she cared
for all of our pets and plants like they
were her own, we would highly
recommend and will use again. Her
communication and care of the house
was so wonderful we can not
recommend her enough”
How it works
How It Works: Booking with Meg 🐾
Trust is everything.
Letting someone into your home and caring for your beloved pets is no small thing—
and I don’t take that lightly. This is a partnership based on trust, communication, and
genuine care. Here’s how I like to work:
- Initial Chat – Let’s Connect!
- We’ll start with a friendly face-to-face call via Zoom or WhatsApp. This
gives us a chance to get to know each other, and for me to understand
your pets’ personalities, needs, and routines. - In-Person Meet & Greet (where possible)
If location and timing allow, I’ll visit your home before the sit begins. This
is when you can walk me through everything—feeding routines, walk
schedules, any quirks, plant care, house access, and anything else you’d
like me to know.
- Day of Departure
I’ll meet with you in person on the day you head off. This ensures a
smooth handover, and it’s a lovely chance for the pets to have that extra
bit of reassurance before you go.
- While You’re Away
- I keep in touch via a dedicated WhatsApp group chat, where I’ll send
regular updates, photos, and any questions that might come up. You’ll
have peace of mind knowing your furry family is happy and in good
hands. - To check my availability, please click on the calendar link below.
I look forward to connecting with you and your four-legged loves soon!
