Its always about them K.I.D.Z

Hey my name is Arianna, but you can call me Ary for short if you’d like! My end goal in this job is to help kids become who they will end up being by helping them learn and grow. Read then stories, have a mini dance party listening to there music! Or what about a movie night with snacks or going on a bike ride? I’ll tidy up the place, have then shower before the parents get home if its not to early so they don't have to deal with bath time, make food for them at around the same time everyday so there days stay consistent and sort of on a schedule. The trick of every thing patience and dedication is key Making sure that the kids understand what you are saying to them like if you said no you cant play with that explanation to them why it is a good idea to leave whatever it os alone and why they shouldn’t do it. Kids always crack me up because they are so silly even though they dont even know what they mean half the time but they make me super happy and put a smile on my face.

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.
