Caring, Patient & Reliable Babysitter and House Sitter!

Hi! I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for others and making sure they're safe, comfortable, and happy. I have hands-on experience caring for children through helping look after my younger brother, who has autism. I've helped with everything from feeding and diaper changes to everyday care, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and attentiveness.

I'm also a big cat person! I live with four cats of my own, so I'm very comfortable around cats, including those with claws. I'm familiar with their daily needs, feeding routines, and the attention they deserve.

Although I don't have formal certifications, I do have real-life caregiving experience, a willingness to learn, and a genuine desire to help families. I would love the opportunity to make your day a little easier while making sure your little ones and furry friends are well cared for!

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.
