Reliable, Caring Babysitter & Pet Sitter You Can Count On 🐾

Hi! I’m Dita, a friendly, responsible, and caring Year 13 student based in Cambridge. I have experience caring for children through after-school care, holiday programmes, and babysitting, and I’ve also grown up around pets, including my own two cats and dog.

I love spending time with children and animals and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether you need someone to keep the kids entertained, help with routines, walk the dog, or look after your pets while you’re away, I’m happy to help!

I’m reliable, organised, and easy to communicate with, and I have my full driver licence and my own car, making it easy for me to get to and from your home. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide care you can feel comfortable and confident in.

I am a Year 13 student with experience caring for children through my role at an after-school care and holiday programme. I also have two younger brothers who I have watched grow up, giving me an understanding of caring for children at different ages and stages. I am responsible, patient, friendly, and confident creating a safe and positive environment for children.

I have also grown up with animals and currently have two cats and a dog, so I am very comfortable caring for pets. I am happy to help with feeding, dog walking, playtime, and general pet care. I understand that every child and pet has different needs and routines, and I am happy to follow each family's instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

I also have my full driver licence and my own car, giving me reliable and flexible transport. This means I can easily travel to and from families’ homes, take children to activities when required, and be available for families who may need a little extra flexibility.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
