About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals my whole life, in all shapes and sizes! When I moved to the city for school, lots of people asked me to pet sit and I loved it so much I hope to continue! I just moved to the Phoenix area and I can’t wait to meet new customers (and their owners 😉). Currently my schedule is completely flexible and I can accommodate any needs, even very short notice! Feel free to reach out day of and we can make it work! I’m happy to follow any routines you have with your animals! Since my schedule is so flexible, I’m comfortable feeding or walking morning, noon, or night. I’m also comfortable delivering medication.
“This was the first time ever I have used a pet sitting service, or anybody to care for my dog. I am very particular. my dog is special-needs. She requires supplements and special diet etc.. Brandon did an amazing job he came when he said he was going to be there. He sent me Texas after each visit of what was going on and he always sent 3 to 5 pictures every visit, and it just was so comforting to me that I was able to actually enjoy my trip and not worry about my dog being taken care of well .. I will use Brandon always in the future to care for Sushi and any other pets, I may acquire in the future thank you, Brandon you are terrific. You are so detail oriented and committed to what you do. I really appreciate you!”

About: Over the past decade, I’ve spent much of my time caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family, and now for pets of my own. This care includes feeding, walking, play-time, and general quality time, all of which I love providing daily for my 2 year old golden retriever George 🦮. I’m a teacher looking for a fun and productive way to spend my summer break. I’d love to spend some of that time hanging out with your lovely pets! I’m currently a teacher with completely open availability for the upcoming summer break. Besides daily chores, I will not have much to do and so have completely open availability to care for your pets day and night. I have a large fenced yard with dog door access and a friendly 2-year old golden retriever to keep your dogs company. Crate access is also available if needed, I currently use a massive crate graded for dogs up to 140 lbs. I have one cat as well who prefers to hang out in my bedroom, so he can be easily separated to give your dog space if necessary. Cat litter and food are kept seperate and out of reach from any dogs should they be interested.

Our family highly recommends Amanda to take care of your fur baby! Amanda was awesome with our 5 month Goldendoodle puppy! Our Goldendoodle didn’t want her to leave! :) That’s how much he loves her! She quickly responded to our pet sit request. She asked great questions about the care of our puppy. We are definitely booking Amanda again!
