Amanda S. Pet Care Provider in Scottsdale, AZ 85251

Hello!
My name is Amanda and I'm looking for part time work while I try to get a Photography Business off the ground. I recently quit my "real job" to pursue a career as a photographer and it's going well, however, I have a lot of free time, especially when I'm not doing a shoot.
I'm now just looking for part-time work, mostly during the week, but am available for weekends as well. I live in Old Town Scottsdale and am looking for something close (Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Paradise Valley). I'd rather not drive longer than 20 min.
I'm willing to do check-ins during the day, dog-walking, house-sitting during the week (if you need care over the weekend, I'd rather pick up your fur baby and be at my place).
A little about me; I'm originally from Michigan but have been in AZ for 6 years. I was a teacher for 5 years and then got out to start working for Pets911, an online database for lost and found pets. It was a great way to help pet owners be reunited with their lost pets.
I also grew up with dogs (breeds: golden retrievers, a beagle, chihuahua, doberman) and miss having one, so dog-sitting/cat-sitting is a great way for me to be around animals again.
