New website!

I’ve moved my website to www.mandispetcare.com !!

So now I OFFICIALLY can’t be confused with Amanda’s Pet Sitting.  Give it a little while to have my old domain transfered, and then it will point to the new site, so if for some reason the site is messing up, please email me and mandispetcare@gmail.com to let me know.  Thanks!!

Name Change!!

I have decided to change the name of my business to Mandi’s Pet Care.  There is another “Amanda’s Pet Sitting” in Arizona, and has allegedly ripped some people off.  I am in  NO WAY associated with this other company, and have decided to change MY company’s name in order to end any confusion.

Thank you, and I’m sorry for any confusion.

A pet sitter does more than you think!

Pet sitting is still a pretty unfamiliar service to some people, so I’d like to take the time to educate you on some of the MANY things a pet sitter can do for you.

A pet sitter is also a dog walker.  If you work long hours and don’t like to keep your pet in the yard or kennel all day, or cramped up in the house, then you can hire a pet sitter to come take your dog for a walk, or just let them run in yard for a bit.

Some pet sitters also offer “pet taxi.”  They can shuttle your dog to the veterinarian, doggy day care, the groomer, you name it!

One of the best features of having a pet sitter, in my opinion, is their vacation service.  If you travel often for work, or are just taking a family vacation, you can have a pet sitter come to your home to take care of your pets.  Your pet sitter can check your mail, bring your trash cans in or out, turn lights on and off to make the home seem “lived in,” water plants, feed fish, and much more!  Some pet sitters even offer overnight visits.

You don’t even have to have a pet to use a pet sitter…If you just need someone to come take care of your home while you are out of town, some pet sitters offer house sitting service as well.

A pet sitter can do so many things, and services vary from business to business, so be sure to check with your local pet sitters to see what they can do for you.  To check out just some of the many services I offer, visit my web site!

Why use a pet sitter?

There are MANY benefits of using a pet sitter.  While a lot of pets do well boarding in kennels, a lot of pets may do a lot better staying home.

Hiring a pet sitter may benefit you and/or your pet if:

  • your pet suffers from seperation anxiety.
  • your pet does not like kennels.
  • your pet requires a lot of individualized attention.
  • your pet is afraid of new people.
  • you have 2 or more pets. (It can save you money!)
  • you need your house tended to while you are away.
  • you work long hours and can’t get home to let your dog(s) out.

That’s just a few reasons to use a pet sitter!

Think about it.  If you have two or more pets, and board them in a kennel at $15/night, you’ll be paying at least $30 a day for them to stay in a kennel.  For a very similar price, you can leave your pets in the comfort of their own home, with their own smells, sights, sounds.  They have the same person come care for them several times a day, someone who they can learn to trust and love.  Your pet sitter will also check your mail, bring in your trash, water your plants, change the lights, and more!

Do you work long hours?  Have a pet sitter come walk your dog if you can’t make it home from the office!

The benefits of using a pet sitter are endless.
