Meet Amy - The Gilded Paw

With over a decade of experience in grooming, breeding, training, and showing dogs, Amy brings a calm, confident touch to every appointment.

From beloved rescues to polished purebreds, Amy has worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—always with patience, care, and respect. Originally a big-dog person, her first mini poodle converted her to a lover of small breeds and their specific needs. Her mission is to create a stress-free grooming experience where small dogs feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Each pup receives her full attention from start to finish in a quiet, one-on-one environment that feels more like a spa day than a grooming session.

At The Gilded Paw, Amy combines her technical skill with a genuine love for dogs—delivering top-quality, nose-to-toes care with no upselling, ever.

A white woman with long dark hair in a ponytail is sitting on concrete steps in front of a gray-blue house with a red door. She is holding a white mini poodle in her arms and is surrounded by three more black miniature poodles, a black standard poodle with a beard, and a majestic-looking dark brown afghan hound. A brindled pitbull with a graying muzzle and a large standard poodle in blue dinosaur pajamas are laying on an orange dog bed at her feet. She is wearing a pink jacket, black pants, and glasses, and smiling at the viewer.
