ABOUT
Hello! My name is Amanda Colquitt .
I’ve been fascinated by animals of all kinds from a young age. As a child, I would spend hours watching Animal Planet. Growing up, my pets ranged from cats, dogs, rats, and even ferrets! I’ve always had a soft spot for creatures of all species and did anything I could to care for and spend time with them.
At age 18, I pleaded with my mom for a dog of my own. After a lot of convincing, she finally said yes, and we rescued my black lab Shadow. Having my own dog taught me a great deal of dedication and responsibility. Some of our favorite things to do together are going on walks, playing tug, and having “snuggy uggy time.”
While getting older and trying out new routes, whether school or work, I was often asked, “If you could do whatever you wanted, what would you do?”. Each time, the first thing that came to mind was “I would be surrounded by dogs all day.” I first took action with this idea by working at a doggy daycare. There I learned about dog behavior and their play styles. After working there for a few years, I concluded that being surrounded by animals brought me the greatest pleasure in life. Knowing that I wanted to increase my exposure to animals, I decided pet sitting and dog walking would be a practical way to add to my experience while establishing a career and building relationships
As I worked there, I was given the opportunity to pet sit for some clients and build bonds with their pets. While doing this, I concluded there wasn’t a better feeling than keeping pets happy and stress-free while their parents were away. Being able to spend time caring for them was just a plus!
I’m looking forward to spending time with more furry loved ones and providing them with just as much happiness as they bring you!
