Welcome message:

Hello I am Josephine Hongsermeier, but you all can just call me Josie. I am a senior at GCU and will be graduating in the spring of 2025. I am the middle child of three and come from a pretty large family. I am someone who is close to my family and loves spending time with them. I also enjoy hanging out and playing with my younger family members, as I am in that awkward gap of time where none of my aunts, cousins, or uncles had kids. Nonetheless, it still gave me an opportunity to enjoy watching my younger family grow up and become the people they are now. I truly love kids and hope that one day I'll have a few of my own! I hope to meet some of y'all real soon, and please, if you ever have questions, you are more than welcome to reach out and ask.

My credentials

I'm happy to provide written documentation of my qualifications and credentials:

  • Pet credentials:
    • I'm comfortable with pets
  • 3 years experience working with children
  • General credentials:
    • Email verified
    • 22 years old
    • Driver's license
    • I have a car
    • Non-smoker / non-vaper
    • Covid vaccinated
    • Languages I can speak: English

While I do not have physical copies of my credentials, I come from a large family where I tend to take care of my younger cousins. Most of the time at family functions, I am the person to watch and play with them just to make sure that they stay out of trouble. I worked at a sports gym in the daycare center for three years, and also took part in their summer camp. We did training for the camp so that we all knew the ins and outs of every situation that could arise and how to deal with it in the safest way. While taking care of these children, I had a few parents ask if I would babysit for them on the side. I make sure to create a strong relationship with the parents, just so that they know that they can trust me and that I will have the child's best interests at heart. I am a senior at GCU majoring in psychology and heading towards a masters program in forensic psychology. While I will not be dealing with children within my masters and future schooling, I still just love children and to see them happy and having fun.

  • Comedy
  • Reading / storytelling

  • Arts / crafts

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.
