Meet the Business Owner

Amanda B.

Business Owner

In 2005 the owner, Amanda, graduated from Ball State University and got her first job out of college at a medical company in her hometown of Warsaw, Indiana. At this job she met her future husband, who was originally from St. Louis. After dating for awhile and his relocation back to his hometown for a job, she then decided to relocate so that they could be closer. After some time in St. Louis she adopted her first dog in 2006, Roscoe, a Jack Russell Terrier Mix. As a puppy he definitely put her beside herself on how to train him. She did her first puppy obedience class with him and found it very knowledgable. In 2007 she moved to Chicago because of a job relocation and to be closer to her family in Indiana. After moving she decided she was not happy in my career and was looking for a change. She thought about the things she loved and loved doing and started thinking about her love for animals. In February 2013 her family relocated to Naples, Florida because of her husbands job.
