I enjoy keeping kids entertained with activities like games, reading, and outdoor play while making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

I am also very experienced with pets, especially dogs. I have grown up with dogs for most of my life, so I am very comfortable around them and understand their needs. For the past 11 months I have been the main person responsible for taking care of my own dog, which includes feeding, walking, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise.

Through these experiences I have learned to be patient, responsible, and attentive. I always aim to create a safe, caring environment whether I am looking after children or pets.

Hello! My name is Sierra, and I’m originally from the USA (St. Louis, Missouri). I’m currently studying at the University of Auckland, pursuing a degree in International Law with a focus on Justice and Human Rights. I have a deep passion for working with people, and I bring a wealth of experience in both baby and pet sitting.

I have over 9 years of experience babysitting children, ranging from family and friends to new families, and I’ve developed a strong ability to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children of all ages. In addition, I’ve spent 10 years pet-sitting and walking dogs, with significant experience managing large dog breeds, including Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with children in various settings. I was a Nursery Staff member caring for children ages 0-6, and a Swim Instructor where I taught swimming to children ages 3-8. Additionally, I volunteered with the International Rescue Committee, assisting asylum-seeking families, and worked as a Worldpackers Volunteer in Tanzania, teaching English and math to children ages 1-6. These experiences have given me the skills to manage a wide range of child care needs and ensure a positive, safe experience for all.

I am also a certified Lifeguard. Through this I've gained extensive knowledge in water safety, ensuring the safety of over 100 guests in a busy pool environment, and open water events for lake, oceans and rivers. Additionally, as Media Coordinator for Backyard Lifeguards, I focus on sharing valuable water safety information with the public, creating engaging content to educate and excite people about sun safety and water-related tips.

I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring that I’m prepared to respond to any emergency. I also hold an Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card, which demonstrates my commitment to safety and professionalism.

I look forward to offering my trusted services for your pets and children here in Auckland!

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.
