Empowering Little Minds To Soar

Hi, my names Ayla! I am a good student with a high urge to do well and succeed. I have three years experience with children and I love babysitting I am encouraging and capable of leading. I’m highly organized in detail oriented, and I am dedicated to giving children the safest and best environment they can because I understand how important it is. I have recently taken the CPR and first aid certification class so I am up-to-date for any circumstances. I love art and involving that with children’s creativity I have one sister and many pets. I am also good with animals. I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you and being the best babysitter I can for your children! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Thank you.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
