Caring, Patient & Reliable Babysitter and House Sitter!

Hi! I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for others and making sure they're safe, comfortable, and happy. I have hands-on experience caring for children through helping look after my younger brother, who has autism. I've helped with everything from feeding and diaper changes to everyday care, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and attentiveness.

I'm also a big cat person! I live with four cats of my own, so I'm very comfortable around cats, including those with claws. I'm familiar with their daily needs, feeding routines, and the attention they deserve.

Although I don't have formal certifications, I do have real-life caregiving experience, a willingness to learn, and a genuine desire to help families. I would love the opportunity to make your day a little easier while making sure your little ones and furry friends are well cared for!

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.
