Hi, it’s me… I’m Amanda
My story actually starts at Texas State University San Marcos where I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Microbiology. While science taught me both discipline and curiosity, my true passion was discovered in an unexpected place—but no skipping ahead!
After school, I began working as a Research Associate in Galveston (where I also met the love of my life, Trey 💕), and quickly realized my heart was leading me elsewhere. I found my combined love for animals and excellent organizational skills would help me build experience managing pet resorts and doggy daycares.

AKA LOVE OF MY LIFE
THE PAWTY
THAT
STARTED IT ALL
It all started with a party for our Goldendoodle, Teddy! 🎉
That celebration lit a fire in me that I simply couldn’t ignore and in 2018, I took the leap, left the lab coat behind, and dove headfirst into the world of pets and parties. For me, it’s never “just a party”—it’s an experience filled with joy, connection, and unforgettable memories.
My husband, Trey, and I currently live deep in the heart of Texas with our seven furry kiddos—Teddy, Lola, Cooper, Sooie, Sanford, Buckley, and Linden! Yep… it’s a full house, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Life in Dallas keeps us busy, but our home is full of love, laughter, and wagging tails.
When I’m not busy celebrating your fur-babies, you can usually find me sipping on an iced coffee, binge-watching reality TV, or spicing up snacks with a little (okay, a lot of) salsa and Tajín—because let’s be real, it belongs on everything! 🌶️
I’m so honored to be part of your pet’s happiest moments and can’t wait to help you celebrate in style.
