Welcome message:

My name is Frankie, and I’m a rising sophomore at NYU studying Vocal Performance! I have prior experience babysitting, but mostly, due to COVID-19, I would support parents working from home and watching over their children so they could get work done in the home. I have worked with children aged 2 to 17 as a volunteer at my hometown’s library, a volunteer for a musical theatre summer camp for children, and as an employee at Albright College's Total Experience Learning Summer Program. Additionally, I planned art and music-based programming and events for toddlers and elementary-aged children while I was in high school because I was the President of National Art Honor Society, President of Drama Club, and a prominent member of my school’s music program.

I’m extremely passionate about children’s education and programming, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach.

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.

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.
