Meet Amy

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

Her passion for dogs runs deep, and it shows in every interaction—whether she’s welcoming a wiggly first-timer or a seasoned show dog onto her grooming table.

Amy has worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from beloved rescues to polished purebreds. Her background in training and socializing dogs gives her a strong understanding of canine behavior, body language, and communication. This experience helps her adjust her approach for each dog for a positive, low-stress grooming experience.

Originally a big-dog person, Amy’s heart changed after meeting her first mini poodle. That little dog opened her eyes to the specific needs and big personalities of small breeds. Since then, she has focused on creating a grooming experience where smaller dogs feel safe, understood, and loved.

At The Gilded Paw, every appointment is one-on-one in a quiet, relaxed setting. Amy knows that grooming can be stressful, so she takes extra time to earn each dog’s trust. There are no noisy assembly lines or rushing—just personalized, nose-to-toes care from start to finish.

Amy believes grooming is about more than just appearance. It’s about making sure every dog feels as good as they look. Her technical skill, combined with her deep understanding of dog behavior, ensures a truly compassionate and expert experience. Best of all, there’s no upselling, no shortcuts, and no pressure—ever.

Whether your dog needs a quick tidy-up or a full makeover, you can trust Amy to provide skilled, loving care in a warm and welcoming environment. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and well-being are always her top priorities.
