Podcasts about Sitters

Born in London in 1911, Flint grew up in modest circumstances but claimed to hear voices of the departed from childhood. Those early experiences set him on a lifelong path toward Spiritualism and the exploration of life after death. Unlike trance mediums who spoke on behalf of spirits, Flint's séances were said to produce independent voices, clearly audible to everyone in the room, appearing to come from midair rather than from the medium himself.Sitters described conversations that were intimate, humorous, and deeply emotional. The voices called people by name, shared private memories, and even argued or joked. Among them were recurring personalities such as “Mickey,” a lively Cockney boy spirit, and “Dr. Charles Marshall,” a calm, guiding presence who oversaw communication from the other side.During the Second World War, when grief touched nearly every British home, Flint's séances offered solace. Widows and parents reported hearing the familiar tones of loved ones lost in battle. Others claimed to encounter famous figures, Oscar Wilde, Queen Victoria, Mahatma Gandhi, each speaking in distinct character and style. To many, these sessions felt less like performances than reunions across the boundary of death.Flint was repeatedly tested. Investigators sealed his mouth, filled it with colored water, even bound him to a chair, yet the voices continued. Hundreds of hours of these sessions were recorded and can still be heard today through the Leslie Flint Educational Trust. Whether regarded as genuine spirit communication or an extraordinary unexplained acoustic phenomenon, they remain some of the clearest evidence of voices without visible source ever documented.In this episode, I take you through Flint's life, the atmosphere of his séances, and the enduring mystery of those voices in the dark. Was Leslie Flint truly speaking for the dead, or revealing new dimensions of consciousness still beyond our science? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In every industry, true leadership isn't about recognition—it's about service. In pet care, that spirit shows up in those who give their time, share their experience, and create space for others to grow. Few embody that better than Deanna Schaar and Cathy Vaughan of the Texas Pet Sitters Association. What began as a small meet-up in a boarding facility has become one of the most beloved conferences in pet care—an annual, volunteer-led non-profit event that draws attendees from across the country. They share how early chaos and tech mishaps shaped their approach, how they find and support speakers, and why community—not competition—is their secret sauce. From health and wellness sessions to industry-wide collaboration, this conversation celebrates the heart and humility behind real leadership. Main topics: Starting a grassroots conference Building a non-profit association Learning from early mistakes Finding and supporting speakers Creating community and belonging Main takeaway: "We don't have egos—this isn't about getting on stage. It's about doing whatever needs to be done to help others." That line sums up the heart of the Texas Pet Sitters Association. Deanna Schaar and Cathy Vaughan didn't set out to build a conference for recognition—they built it for connection. Over 11 years, they've created a place where pet sitters learn, laugh, and lean on each other. Their story is a reminder that the best leaders lift others first. Because in both business and life, anything worth building takes time, energy, and people. Setting aside your ego and letting others shine is what truly propels whatever you're trying to grow. About our guests: Deanna Schaar is the owner of Deanna's Dog House, offering in-home dog boarding in Texas. A founding member and current Vice President of the Texas Pet Sitters Association, she is passionate about community education and support for fellow pet sitters. Cathy Vaughan owns Cathy's Critter Care in San Antonio and serves as President of the Association. Together, they lead a volunteer non-profit that hosts an annual conference fostering professional development, networking, and friendship for pet care providers nationwide. Links:

What happens when an “unregulated” industry finally publishes standards? We unpack PSI's new Global Standards for professional pet sitting and dog walking, explaining why standards are the floor—not the ceiling—for ethical care and business practices. We discuss how courts, insurers, and regulators use industry standards to define “reasonable care,” and what that means for documentation, insurance, and client data security. We also outline practical next steps to self-audit your policies, train your team, and communicate compliance to clients. Finally, we share how clearer standards could shift market dynamics—especially for app-based platforms—and elevate the profession's reputation. Main topic:  Standards as baseline professionalism Insurance scope and adequacy Client data security practices Documentation and due diligence Market impact on gig platforms   Main takeaway: “Standards are the floor, not the ceiling” In pet care, published standards aren't limits—they're launchpads. They set the baseline for safety, documentation, insurance, and client data protection so professionals can build higher. When you exceed the floor, you create trust, reduce risk, and stand out in a crowded market. Audit your policies, train your team, and share your alignment—your clients (and their pets) deserve it.    Links: PSI Global Standards for Professional Pet Sitting & Dog Walking (full document): https://www.petsit.com/standards Episode 630 (laws impacting pet care): https://www.petsitterconfessional.com/episodes/630 Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

A couple who hired house sitters discovered they were actually professional thieves. The city of Vernon, in southeast Los Angeles County, was named the most burglarized city in California by Safewise, while an apartment shooting in Sun Valley left three teenagers injured and the suspect remains at large. Officials continue to monitor the Palisades Fire, which has been smoldering for seven days—fires can persist underground for months, even under snow. A man shared a disturbing account of a ride with an Uber driver now accused of starting the blaze. The show wrapped with Gary & Shannon joining Tim Conway Jr. for a skit parodying a man using Ted Bundy–style tactics. 

Watch all our Podcasts on YouTube   ? Are you about to get slammed with holiday bookings… and still don't have enough pet sitters lined up? If the answer is yes, you're not alone—and you're not behind yet, but you're about to be. In this episode, I'm here to help you get ahead of the madness. The holidays aren't just busy—they're a pressure cooker. Your clients are planning $5,000+ vacations and expecting their pet sitter (you!) to run their home like clockwork. But here's the truth: you can't deliver peace of mind if you're short-staffed, hiring reactively, or skipping the systems. So in this episode of Bella in Your Business, I'm walking you through exactly how to hire pet sitters for the holidays the smart, legal, and sustainable way. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why hiring in Q4 is harder—and what to do about it starting today The legal interview questions to ask (and what can get you sued) How to make holiday work appealing so your team doesn't quit mid-season Why clear onboarding is non-negotiable—and how to set up a 6-step process Genius ways to recruit returning college students, past staff, and local talent How to spot red flag answers that scream “I'm going to bail on you” Timestamps 04:00 – Why you must start hiring before the holidays hit—and the trends showing it'll be busier than ever 07:30 – The 6-step hiring process that filters out the flakes and sets you up to scale 11:45 – What's illegal to ask in interviews—and the exact phrases to say instead 19:30 – How to communicate holiday work expectations without sounding desperate or begging 28:00 – Creative (and proven) ways to find seasonal pet sitters, from college students to vet techs Notable Quotes “If it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no.” “You are their insurance policy for their pets and home—and you can't deliver that without a rock-solid team.” “Hiring is a leadership play, not a desperate grab.” Resources & Links: Book a 20-Min Coaching Call with Bella Join the Mastermind Pet Sitter Hiring Jump Method Transcript Welcome to another episode of Bella in your business. My name is Bella Vasta and today we're going to talk all about hiring for the holidays. But before we get started, I wanted to say ? last week we talked all about mindset. I gave you three different episodes to go check out to help with your mindset because especially now coming into fourth quarter, we're going to need all the mindset and positivity possible because it's about to get really busy. ? In that light, I would be so honored if you would like and subscribe to this podcast. Believe it or not, a lot of people actually don't subscribe to it, but they're listening to it. Our numbers are going up and I absolutely love it. So feel free to share it with anyone you want. As you see, we have ? a lot, hundreds of episodes for you to listen to. So I wanted to thank you for that. I've also been having some really amazing discussions with you guys, even out as far as Dubai. I wanna say hi to Sam if you're listening. Thank you so much for our conversation last week. I really enjoyed it and that's super. So if you guys wanna get on my calendar and just have some questions you wanna ask me, feel free to go to jumpconsulting.net forward slash 20. I am truly here to help you. I'm not here to even sell to you, which I know is probably weird to hear, ? but I love working with business owners that are ready. And ? if there's other things that you need to do, I'm gonna give you resources or whatever, because at the end of the day, I wanna change your I-cans into I-cans and inspire you to greatness. All right, let's get into today's episode. Did you know that according to Yahoo Finance, 2025 is literally predicted to be one of the biggest years for holiday travel? We're not just talking about people taking quick weekend trips.

God's frustration echoes across millennia in the ending verses of Ezekiel chapter 33: "They come to you as people come and hear your words, but they do not do them." This ancient complaint strikes at the heart of modern faith—our tendency to consume spiritual content without allowing it to transform our daily lives.The Jewish exiles in Babylon had just received confirmation that Jerusalem had fallen, exactly as Ezekiel prophesied. Vindicated as a true prophet, Ezekiel suddenly found himself popular among the people who gathered eagerly to hear his messages. Yet God reveals their fatal flaw: they treated divine revelation like entertainment—"like a sensual song by one who has a beautiful voice"—appreciated in the moment but forgotten when life's real decisions came calling.This disconnect between hearing and doing remains our greatest spiritual challenge today. We attend services, listen to sermons, participate in Bible studies, yet when facing workplace dilemmas, relationship conflicts, or financial pressures, we often default to worldly wisdom rather than trusting God's guidance. The Israelites claimed Abraham's promise while ignoring God's commands; similarly, we claim Christian identity while compartmentalizing our faith.The chapter ending reveals a crucial theological distinction: God's unconditional promises (like the land covenant) stand firm, but experiencing their blessings requires faithful obedience. For Christians today, this mirrors our salvation security through Christ while reminding us that the quality of our spiritual journey depends significantly on our willingness to trust and obey God daily.Are you sitting before God's Word as an appreciative audience member or as a committed disciple? The difference isn't found in church attendance but in Monday through Saturday decisions that reveal whether we're merely fans of spiritual content or genuine followers transformed by divine truth. Listen again to Ezekiel's ancient warning—it might be the most relevant message you'll hear today.Support the showThank you for listening!!

An episode from Seneca Bible Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Seneca Falls, New York. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God ­breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty­-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical ­historical meaning. The King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by the church (2 Tim. 3:16­-17). We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each coeternal in being, co-identical in nature, coequal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfections (Deut. 6:4). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Phil. 2:5­8). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, that our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (1 Peter 1:3­5). We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven, and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9­10). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins 1 Pet. 1:18­19). A message from Seneca Bible Baptist Church: “We would love to have you visit! “If you are looking for a church in the Seneca Falls, New York area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

What do new laws mean for your pet care business? Across the U.S., states are passing legislation that raises the standards for how pets are cared for—and the consequences for falling short. From licensing and inspections to criminal negligence and felony charges, the bar is getting higher for sitters, walkers, and boarders alike. These changes can feel overwhelming, but they don't have to catch you off guard. In this episode, we talk through the most recent laws, what they mean for you, and how you can prepare your business to thrive in this new legal landscape. Main topics: Criminal negligence: what it means “Facility” definitions Licensing, ratios, inspections, reporting Documentation as legal protection Advocacy, pricing, and compliance Main takeaway: “If you hear nothing else in this episode, hear this: legislation is coming.” New animal-welfare laws are raising the bar for every pet care business—solo or staffed, mobile or at-home. That's not a reason to panic; it's a chance to lead. Start now: tighten your SOPs, train your team, and document every visit like it matters—because it does. Check your insurance, learn your city/county/state rules, and price for the real cost of compliance. Most importantly, speak up with your story so lawmakers write regulations with professionals in the room.

Why 90% of Pet Sitters FAIL at Local Marketing for Pet Businesses (The Secret Strategy That Actually Works) What if the biggest thing holding your pet business back... is that no one really knows you exist? If your name doesn't ring a bell in your own community, you're not just missing clients—you're missing credibility, connection, and cash. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on Local Pet Business Marketing—what actually works, what most pet pros are getting wrong, and how you can stand out without feeling awkward or pushy. We'll dive into how to turn your business anniversary into a publicity machine, create buzz through local partnerships, and build instant trust that Google ads can't buy. Plus, I'm sharing real-world wins from petpreneurs in my Mastermind who are becoming local legends—and the exact strategies they used to do it. If you're tired of being your area's best-kept secret… it's time to fix that. Let's go. In This Episode, You'll Learn... How to build local visibility that actually converts Why your pet biz anniversary is a PR goldmine The ONE mindset shift that will change how you network forever Real examples of pet business owners dominating their communities What to include in your “grab-and-go” event kit Timestamps 1:25 – The difference between being visible and being known in your community 4:58 – Real-life story of a pet sitter becoming a “local celeb” (without even trying) 10:15 – How to use your business anniversary as a publicity magnet 16:45 – Why being present locally builds trust faster than any ad ever could 20:55 – What to include in your "event kit" so you're always ready for exposure opportunities Notable Quotes "Local pet business marketing isn't about logos—it's about connection and consistency."

Today, we're diving into how you're actually known in your local area. We're going to cover a lot—my goal is to light your brain on fire and give you real examples from your fellow pet business owners who are doing this successfully. Thank you for all the likes, comments, and subscribes! I love hearing from those of you who book a call at jumpconsulting.net/20 and say you found me through the podcast. That makes my heart so happy, because honestly, I'm just sitting in my office talking to a ring light. Knowing you're out there listening makes it all worth it. In my community, we've spent the past month focused on getting your name out there everywhere. Some of what I say might sting a little, but stick with me. This could be the difference between your business thriving or just surviving. Imagine having a bunch of unpaid salespeople out there working for you just because you're known in your community. Are you actually known in your area? There's a book called Known by my friend Mark Schaefer, a great read that ties into today's topic. Being “known” isn't about a logo or being online—it's about walking into a room and people recognizing you and the energy you bring. If that's not happening yet, you're missing out on one of the most powerful, cost-effective tools in business. I get that networking can be uncomfortable. Maybe you don't like being the center of attention, and your ego is blocking you right now. But this isn't about you—it's about your business. Local marketing for pet businesses starts with you being known in your community.

Over the past 13 years, we've built, paused, and rebuilt our pet sitting business across multiple cities and life stages. In this episode, we share the lessons that have shaped how we operate today—from getting licensed and insured, to listening closely to clients, and setting clear policies. We talk about the hard decisions that came with growth, like raising prices and ending services that no longer fit. We also reflect on the emotional journey of staying connected to our work while learning to lead with boundaries. It's a candid look at the evolution of a pet care business and the people behind it. Main Topics Licensing and insurance basics Client communication best practices Blocking and protecting time off Evolving with your business Valuing your time and boundaries Main Takeaway: We had to make changes because they were right for us… They were what we needed, both personally and as a business. After 13 years in the pet sitting industry, we've learned that not every decision will make everyone happy—and that's okay. Whether it was shutting down boarding, raising prices, or walking away from house sitting, each change moved us closer to a business that aligned with our lives and values. You don't have to say yes to every client or follow someone else's path. You have permission to make bold choices that serve you, not just your business.

My name is Bella Vasta. We spend so much time trying to figure out the algorithms on social media just to have them change on us. Right away. At the time of this recording, it is 2 days before Instagram makes their big change that I've announced in my mastermind, I've announced on my Facebook page. It is simply that all their postings are now going to be public. So that means every single thing that you post—and if it was already a business public page, it should have been because they could do it already—you should have your keywords in there. But now it's even more important. Every single time you post on Facebook or Instagram, it's basically like a micro blog. But what if I told you that there was something that was even better? That outperforms any day of the week than social media to help attract people to your business. Would you be interested? Because that's what today's episode's all about. I'm going to be throwing a lot of statistics at you because I wanted to throw the numbers really heavily into this episode so that you could hopefully be motivated. The topic that I'm about to tell you about is something that a lot of people are either really scared, or apprehensive, or self-conscious about. Perhaps sometimes they're even—they say they don't have time for it, which really, when you say you don't have time, it means it's not a priority, right? That's in anything in life. Or it's just something that maybe they've done before, but they don't feel like they got an ROI—a return on investment—therefore they're just like no. And so what that is is word of mouth marketing.

AI Prompts for Pet Sitters: Why Basic Questions Aren't Enough (And What To Do Instead) Have you ever asked ChatGPT to “write a caption” or “make a post” and ended up with something totally bland? Yeah, you're not alone—and that's exactly what I'm unpacking in this episode of Bella in Your Business. In this episode, I'm not just talking about AI. I'm showing you how to use it smarter. We're going deep into what most pet sitters are getting wrong about AI prompts, why a recent MIT study scared people for the wrong reasons, and how you can build a GPT that actually knows your tone, your clients, and your strategy. I even introduce you to Suzi—my custom GPT who's basically my brain in AI form. If you've ever wanted to clone your brain (without the burnout), you're gonna want to hear this. If you've ever listened to Episode 443, you know that was us capturing your brain in repeatable systems. This episode goes deeper, turning that brain into an autonomous thinker. And yes, we invited George B. Thomas on Episode 435 for a masterclass in AI cloning. George built a voice?powered clone that talks, teaches, and problem?solves like him, and I legit forgot I was talking to AI when I called it Whether you've been playing around with AI or still don't know where to start, I promise you'll walk away with practical ways to level up how you use it and maybe even fall in love with what it can do. In This Episode, You'll Learn...

I'm really looking forward—I have a lot prepared for you. But before I do that, I really want to give a shout out to all of you. I've been talking to a lot of you on the phone.

It’s known as dumping season in the animal industry – but what do responsible pet owners need to know about choosing the right boarding or pet sitting business? Helen asks vets, boarding firms and pet owners how to find a safe care option. Also from the animal kingdom, we learn how Dubai is marking World Sea Turtle Day. Meanwhile, Genevieve Chenneour, a Bridgerton actress and trained boxer, has gone viral after CCTV showed her fighting back against a mugger and reclaiming her phone. But when is it right to defend yourself — and how? Helen asks defence coaches Taylor Hamilton and Leah Nichol. And Harrison from Haus & Haus is on hand to answer your property questions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI Mindset Shifts for Pet Sitters: 5 Beliefs Blocking Your Growth AI mindset shifts for pet sitters are no longer optional—they're essential. If the idea of using AI in your pet business feels intimidating or overwhelming, you're not alone. But here's the truth: it's not the tech that's holding you back, it's your mindset. In this episode, I'm opening up about the invisible blocks I see so many pet sitters carrying when it comes to AI—beliefs that keep them stuck in busy work, burn out, and creative paralysis. I've been having more and more conversations with business owners who are watching others use AI to their advantage, but still feel hesitant to jump in. It's not because they can't. It's because they think they can't. This episode is your invitation to shift those thoughts. I want to help you stop waiting for perfection, stop fearing that AI will dull your creativity, and stop assuming it's only for “techy people.” Because once you embrace the right mindset, AI becomes a powerful tool—not a threat. You don't have to be perfect to start. You just have to be willing to think differently. If you've been second-guessing yourself or stuck in analysis paralysis, let's change that together, starting now. In this Episode, You'll Learn... Why waiting for AI to be “perfect” is costing you time and opportunity The false belief that creativity dies with automation How to use AI without sounding robotic The difference between information and instruction—and why it matters What makes AI better with your unique voice and guidance Timestamps 00:01 – Why mindset matters more than tools05:18 – The perfection trap with AI08:42 – “AI will kill my creativity” myth14:36 – Why your input makes the output18:50 – Using AI to sound like you Resources & Links Ready to stop playing small?

Transcript Welcome to another episode of Bella in your business. My name is Bella Vasta. You know, I'm gonna go in a lot of different directions today, because there's a mindset thing happening, and it's starting from some of the leaders in our industry. I'm gonna keep this pretty anonymous. But without saying names. I had 2 people share with me the same exact message that was in a group by someone who is positioning themselves as a leader in our industry. And it came to me because these people paused after reading this message, thinking, “Wait, Bella, is this true?” And so I read through it. And it was this message that was like alert: Google has made an update. You need to know what this update is. And it was talking about AI, and it was basically saying Google is now specifically directing their quality raters to identify pages where main content is created using AI tools and automated generators. Okay, if you just read that part, you're gonna be like, “Oh, my gosh! I can't use AI on my website.” And then it goes on, and it says, if your content is mostly AI generated with little original value added, it gets rated as lowest quality, which means it basically disappears. And then it went on to say, like what this means — AI content that shows little effort will not get ranked in the searches, and that Google's doubling down on their reward content that demonstrates experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. Okay, this thing got like 31 comments when I saw it. 36 likes and stuff. But here's the — and then a lot of the people that start...
