I think Parallels can now also do that and also control any of your VMs.

Didn't test it myself yet. But looks like this:
But you'll need to buy the Mobile thing in the Appstore and also the Desktop Version...

unless you already have that.

Thanks. I have Parralels. This may work for me. I'll buy the mobile app. Seems to be on sale now. I'll try this tomorrow.
+1 for logmein.com
logmein.com has a free tier and a free mobile app. It's also accessible from any browser so the flexibility is there.
I use it all the time and works great for windows and Mac hosts for remote access.

Macs already have screen sharing built in; just look for VNC apps for the phone.
What sets apart the good ones are the controls, since controlling a Mac screen with an itty bitty iPhone is a bit painful. I like Remoter VNC; it's a nice app and relatively inexpensive.
Logmein and TeamViewer are services; they can make it somewhat easier for people who don't know how to use the built-in sharing capabilities of their Macs, or how to share various services over the internet.
And if you don't need to control the whole screen there are a bunch of remote control apps; Apple makes one for example.
