Catmanda Dogwalker

Thank you so much for taking such great care of my fur baby and for posting frequent FB posts. Seeing that he was in such great hands allowed me to enjoy my month-​long vacation and relax. You’re the best! Pierrot Dolan says come by anytime for a visit. :)

Amanda Gari is so fabulous! I couldn’t trust her more with my cat. She is committed and sincerely cares about each individual animal. She is very knowlegable and she is 100% dependable. If you choose Amanda– I want you to know, you are in good hands and will have peace of mind knowing your pet is getting the love and attention it deserves!

If I could give Amanda six stars — or ten — I would! I can’t imagine anyone more compassionate or caring. I trust her implicitly. We left our cat for the first time recently when we traveled East for vacation. She came to our home daily, and made sure everything was taken care of. What a relief! I can’t recommend her highly enough. Amazing woman!

Amanda is a great pet sitter and my animals love her! It is so important, especially when you have older animals who need medicine, to have someone be there when they say they will.
You can count on Amanda and that gives me such comfort when I go away. And she keeps me updated which is so comforting.

Best dog-​sitter ever! My dogs are the most important things in my life and I am very picky about who I trust to care for them. I would not leave them with someone I did not trust 110%. What a blessing it was to find Amanda. I have total confidence that she takes as good care of them as I do. And they agree — they get silly with happiness whenever she comes over! And in addition to my own dogs, I foster for a rescue, so the residents of my house and their needs are ever-​changing. No matter what I throw at her — multiple dogs on multiple diets and/​or medications, old dogs or puppies who have accidents, dogs who need to be separated — she handles it with ease. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Amanda is absolutely the best! She has always been so kind, lovely, and caring of our sweet kitties. If you are looking for someone you can trust unequivocally with your beloved pets, she is fantastic. Our kitties required multiple meds each, and it was so comforting to know we could leave them in such good hands. She always sends updates and photos, which is so reassuring. One of our girls hides whenever someone new is around, but with Amanda, she came right out and felt instantly comfortable. We love Amanda, and greatly appreciate her sweet, professional, caring nature.

I love Amanda! Jac and Taco love her too! I have a problem leaving my boys and for the 1^st time in my life I am at ease going away. She gives me updates and I know she truly loves my boys! There is nothing like peace of mind over your animals when you go away and Amanda gives us that :)

I needed someone to pet sit for my incredibly cantankerous cat, Bob. I found Amanda’s card at my vet’s office and asked them for input. «She’s great! you’ll love her!» they said. When I contacted her, she responded very quickly. I could tell right away that she was bright, had a great sense of humor and had a genuine love of animals. She came over and met Bob, and he fell under her spell immediately (which was huge because Bob doesn’t like anyone)! She gave Bob such tender loving care, that when I returned home, he was happy and playful! She sent fun daily updates letting me know what my little guy was up to.
When you have to leave your furry friend behind while you are out of town, you want someone who will care for them like you do. Amanda is that person. I cannot say enough about her! She provided such excellent care, that I wish she would come over and take care of me! Perfect experience down to the smallest detail! As far as I am concerned, she’s the only person I’ll trust to take care of my kitty in the future!

The other reviews are true, Amanda is a fabulous pet sitter! She has watched my two cats countless times over the past year, as I travel a lot. I trust her completely and I always leave knowing my beloved cats are in great hands. She frequently sends me pics and text updates when I’m gone and I always return to happy, well cared for cats! I couldn’t recommend her more.

Where to begin saying how delighted I am with Amanda’s pet sitting services?
She is simply the best. I leave this review knowing that I may actually be placing myself at risk for getting spots with her. She is that WONDERFUL.

She is EXACTLY what we were looking for: professional, trustworthy, gorgeous, communicative, mature, responsible to the nth degree, kind, friendly — and my cats immediately took to her. She is the type of person that I am COMFORTABLE having in my home while I am away. I trust her to look after my beloved pets and my home.
I loved her from the first «interview» — which was amazingly easy to set up. I have had her sit for my cats for over a year now — and whenever I came home — the house is lovely and just how I had left it. Pet areas are always tidy and clean as a whistle. She is fantastic. As a matter of fact — the cats didn’t even come downstairs to greet me anymore after I had come home — they are that content.
I found Amanda right here on Unilocal after using a number of other «highly reviewed» pet sitting services in the valley — and feeling disappointed with each. The real difference between using Amanda and one of the other «highly rated pet-​sitting companies is that although they may have a fancy web site — they use a number of different «sitters» to care for your pets. Some of them are OK — some are not. One sitter didn’t clean well. Another owner told me not to text after a certain hour (really? I travel globally). Another didn’t leave out water for my pets! Yikes. These other pet-​sitting companies’ always seemed to have constantly revolving sitters — and the quality control was just never there (sorry — but it is true). I simply needed things to be done right by someone that I could count on. Traveling is already a hassle without having to jump through hoops with a pet sitting service or worry about who will be in your home.
When you interview with Amanda — you are interviewing with the one and the ONLY person that will be in your home, caring for your pets. Please don’t tell her this — but I would GLADLY pay double what she charges … make that — «whatever» she would charge — to look after my pets and my home.

Catmanda is FABULOUS!!! She was recommended by my long time pharmacist, a known animal lover, and instantly my 2 dogs loved her. truly! My dogs don’t always warm up to people so easily, but Amanda has such a warm vibe that my dogs adore her. Initially Amanda came by for a greet and meet and I felt good about leaving my pups with Amanda. In fact the first time I hired Amanda, she stayed over and the dogs slept with her, just like they do with me. I was initially nervous because I was out of town for a week but she sent pictures via the phone to assure me that the dogs were OK. Since then (about 2 years ago), I hire Amanda to walk my dogs when my family is home but when I am out of town. My boyfriend and I have 2 children but the dogs don’t get their much needed attention when I am out of town. So Amanda has my key and stops by to the walk the dogs. My children actually get jealous of Amanda because when she arrives the dogs get so happy and excited. Besides walking my dogs, she plays with them and gives them a snack after their walk. She also takes in any mail or packages… truly. Amanda is the best!!!

Amanda was great! We were gone for a few days and she came over and walked our dog and fed both the cat and dog. She is very trustworthy! Very sweet! ^_​^ I will definitely use her services again. I would recommend her to anyone for her price is very reasonable!

Amanda is awesome! She is responsible, reliable and loves my «kids». Even after we rescued a «troubled» dog, who would growl and hide from any stranger, Amanda took the extra time to work with the trainer and us and everything worked out great. When my older doxie was at the vet having to have a blood transfusion and I was still working she offered to go pick him up if I couldn’t get out of the office… she always goes the extra mile to insure our dogs are well cared for… you can’t find a better pet sitter!

She came 3 times to my house took care of my cat and dog for one week we where very Happy with her service. Amanda even put mail inside the box.
We hope to use her again. A++++++

Amanda is a wonderful person who loves animals. Ive had other dog walkers and my persnickety Diego doesn’t like anyone, but he loves her! He was overweight and now he’s slimming down nicely!
Doesn’t get any better then Amanda!

You know your cats were treated well when you arrive home and they’re happy to see you, but HAPPY. I enjoyed Amanda’s photo reports (via texts on my mobile) and getting updates during the week. I knew my cats were in good hands before I left for my trip and that Amanda could competently and compassionately handle their special needs — which are primarily that they’re spoiled rotten, but there was «pilling» involved. I highly recommend Amanda!

Well, our four furry legged children have been watched by Amanda several times and they love her. She treats them all as if they were her own animals and takes the time to give each pet their individual love time. Amanda isn’t the only choice to watch or care for your precious animals, but she is «The Best». So highly recommend her. Don’t wait, call her now as she us usually busy.:-)
