Who’s running this show…
HEY! It’s me Amanda, Founder of The Barkday Planner!
I created this membership community after hearing your feedback, seeing the excitement at our events, and recognizing the need for a space where dog parents could truly connect! As someone who moved to Dallas without knowing anyone, I wanted to build a welcoming, inclusive group for dog parents like me—people who treat their fur-babies like family and want to share life’s best moment with them by their side + FIND YOUR PACK!
FUN FACTS: I’m a proud dog mom to 6 adorable pups, and while I looove a good birthday cake, I’m a pie over cake kinda gal on my special day! Can’t wait to get to know you and your fur-babies.
