The Behavior-Aware Difference
Most sitters follow a schedule.
Most sitters follow a schedule.
Andria follows your pet.
Five years in shelters, rescues and boarding facilities — plus an apprenticeship with a veteran Air Force dog trainer — teach you one thing above all: behavior is communication. You don't get a frightened animal to cooperate by insisting. You get there by reading them.
1
Meet & greet first
Before anything is booked, Andria meets your animals on their own turf so they feel at home with her. She learns the routine, the medication, the hiding spots and the triggers.
2
Care shaped to the animal
Enrichment, pacing and handling are matched to your pet's personality and energy level. A confident lab and a fearful rescue never get the same visit.
3
Daily photos & video
Every day you're away you see the activities and the care your pet is getting. It's the thing her clients mention first — you can breathe easy and actually enjoy the trip.

Meet Andria
She came to pet care the long way around
Not a weekend certification and a phone app — five years working in shelters, volunteering with rescues, working in boarding facilities and in-home care, inside the local animal welfare community, and apprenticing with a veteran Air Force dog trainer.
That work rearranges how you see animals. You stop asking why a dog is being difficult and start asking what he's telling you. A dog lunging at the end of a leash is over threshold and out of options. A cat who hasn't come out in three weeks is doing what a small prey animal does when the world stops making sense. Once you learn to read that, you can't go back to setting down a bowl and glancing at your watch.
Today she serves Ahwatukee Foothills and the surrounding Phoenix communities as a bonded, insured, Fear Free Certified pet sitter — with enrichment tailored to your pet, so they feel secure, engaged and loved while you're away.

Pets In Her Care
Real animals, real days
Every one of these is a client's pet, photographed on an ordinary visit.
In-Home Enrichment
Most "behavior problems" are boredom problems
Destructive chewing, barking at nothing, over-grooming, midnight zoomies, food obsession — in an otherwise healthy pet these are frequently a brain with nothing to do. Enrichment gives it something to do.
A dog's nose carries roughly 300 million olfactory receptors to our six million, and a startling share of their brain processes what it finds. Fifteen minutes of scent work will tire many dogs more thoroughly than an hour of walking — without a single step on hot Phoenix pavement. Cats are predators built for a hunting sequence; a cat who never completes it will find somewhere unhelpful to complete it.
Enrichment and mental stimulation are built into every visit at no extra charge, and can be booked as a dedicated session. Andria also offers animal reiki, and homemade one-ingredient bone broth with no preservatives.
Adventure Outings
Some pets need a bigger day
For the dogs who don't settle for a lap around the block, Andria runs adventure outings — hiking, kayaking, pup-cup runs, joy rides, and errands to the dog-friendly places their people never quite get around to. Pricing varies with the outing.
Pet transport and pet taxi are available too: vet appointments, grooming, boarding drop-offs. For pets who need less stimulation rather than more, animal reiki is available — ask her about it.

Common Questions
Pet sitting in Phoenix, answered
What does behavior-aware pet care mean?
Behavior-aware care means the visit is shaped around your pet's routine, personality and energy level rather than a fixed schedule. Andria is Fear Free Certified and has five years working in shelters, rescues and boarding facilities, so care is paced to what the animal is actually communicating. The alternative — insisting a frightened animal comply — is how sitters get bitten and pets learn that strangers are dangerous.
How much does pet sitting in Ahwatukee cost?
Drop-in visits start at $35 for 30 minutes and $60 for one hour, plus $5–15 per additional dog depending on difficulty. Overnight care in your home starts at $75 per night, plus $15–45 for each additional pet, with enrichment included. Extras like pet transport and adventure outings are priced separately — some services may include additional fees. Referral discounts available.
Do you care for reactive, anxious, or special-needs pets?
Yes. Andria has five years of experience across shelters, rescues, boarding facilities and in-home care, apprenticed with a veteran Air Force dog trainer, and holds Shelter Playgroup Alliance training. She administers medication orally and by injection, and is experienced with birds and small animals as well as cats and dogs — and is open to caring for additional species of all sizes.

Will I get updates while I'm away?
Yes — updates with photos and videos showing the activities and care your pet receives. It's the detail her Facebook recommendations mention most: you can breathe easy and leave, knowing things will continue like normal without any stress or worry.
How do I book pet care?
Call or text (586) 435-4690, or send a care request through this site. Booking begins with a meet and greet so your pet feels right at home with Andria before any service is scheduled. New clients are welcome.
