🐾 Meet the Team Monday 🐾
Amanda | Owner & Groomer | The Heart Behind Spot
Amanda is the heart and soul of Spot, with over 20 years in pet care and a lifelong love for dogs that shines through in everything she does. From grooming to running the salon, she truly does a little bit of everything—and does it with purpose.
As a groomer, Amanda’s passion lies in earning each dog’s trust, especially those who are nervous or struggling with fear-based behaviors. She has a special gift for helping pups feel safe and showing them that grooming doesn’t have to be scary. As an owner, she finds just as much joy in watching her team grow, both professionally and personally.
A self-proclaimed terrier lover, Amanda enjoys de-sheds (because let’s be honest… so satisfying) and has a soft spot for training puppies. Her favorite moment in any appointment is seeing the final result—when all the hard work comes together.
She’s also big on education and advocacy, reminding pet parents that grooming is more than just looks—it’s a skilled trade focused on your pet’s health, safety, and comfort. Her advice? Trust your groomer—we truly want what’s best for your pup.
At home, Amanda has a full crew: Gus, her old grumpy Westie, Katy, a sweet Lab mix, Toodles, a very vocal tuxedo cat, and Binx & Pumpkin, two bottle-fed kitties raised with help from the Spot team (and now expert-level cuddle bugs 🐾).
On her perfect day off, you’ll find her poolside with sunshine, good music, and zero stress. A self-described “sunshine afternoon” girl, Amanda runs on determination, a little sarcasm, and a whole lot of heart—usually with true crime playing in the background and Spot’s signature purple vibe all around.
