Amanda is the Owner and Operator of Cloud Nine Pet Boarding, and has a lifelong passion for animal care. Beyond her personal pursuit of gold-standard pet-sitting for several years in her formative years… She is also a Certified Medical Assistant (NAIT 2012), trained in Animal Health Technology (NAIT 2014), is a Fear-Free Certified Professional, a member of the Alberta Fear Free Alliance (AFFA), and holds current certification in Pet First Aid (Walks N’ Wags). Amanda also held the managerial role at an Edmonton Area-based Kennel from 2017-2021, during which time the Kennel received the Community Votes Platinum Award for the Edmonton and Surrounding Area (2021).

With rescued fur-babies (with varying levels of social-skills) of her own, Amanda understands the discomfort of leaving them in someone else’s care while being away. This is why she operates with the mentality of caring for your loved ones as if they are her own! Putting the needs of your pet first, is her priority.

“Nothing warms my heart more than seeing the human-animal bond. It’s simply the best.”
