Not really a summary because i don’t vape, no i don’t own a car because legally im only 15, about to turn 16 in a couple of months so i can’t, im a highschool student and i have babysat for over 5 years, based on having siblings , i attend Paul Laurence Dunbar highschool in washington dc, i have a great gpa of 3.5, all grades and im very gentle with kids. As far as training im home trained based on having siblings and having to care for them as their 2nd mother and providing them with stuff as they grow, i’ve already had a experience with taking care of kids and it’s a piece of cake. I’m gentle and very understanding and calming. So i feel as though i can use this ability to contain a job of babysitting for money, because i put in good deeds and just like helping one another and kids.

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.
