Trustworthy Believer in Karma

Hello! To keep this short. I have alot of empathy for others. Especially animals and children. I take, caring for another life very seriously. Since my decisions or any potential carelessness will greatly affect them. I'm protective of innocence and do not take keeping a vulnerable life safe from harm, lightly. Even if that means keeping the existence of Santa Clause to be true for a hopeful child or if it means keeping an elderly Father excited that WWE/WWF is completely real/unscripted. The last thing I would do is ruin someone's dreams or jeopardize their peace. I've taken care of elderly with and without psychological illnesses for more than 20 years. Ive taken care of many types of children and especially helped clinically depressed children improve habits. By helping them feel seen and of value. Everyone is different and may feel more comfortable with someone else. Which I respect very much and is perfectly logical, especially now a days! I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, fish, ducks, and many other types of animals. I've also helped many people when they needed a friend to talk to or just someone to be a plus one so they have a better experience at an event/meeting/planned get together. I'm extremely considerate. But I will let you be the judge. Thanks for reading. I hope regardless if we do not meet, you find the help/support you're searching for and beyond.

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.
