Testimonials
I’m so grateful to have found Amber at Tampa Bay Canine Retreat!! Our Great Dane puppy, Grace, has been going to daycare with training and feels so at home and well cared for there! Amber sends photos and videos throughout the day so we can keep consistent with commands and see how well she’s learning. She goes above and beyond to make it special. She recently threw an impromptu dog party when I told her that Grace turned 5 months old that day! All the dogs had a costume party on Halloween. It’s great care and great fun! Grace is getting trained and socialized and comes home happy and tired out!
At least 12 out of 5 stars!! <3
Amber is Amazing!
My husband has been in the Tampa VA hospital for nearly a year. I wanted to surprise him with our dog, Ms. Pebbles. I did a google search and found Tampa Bay Canine Retreat. Ms. Pebbles had been boarded several times but never at a private home. However, when we met Amber Ms. Pebbles and I felt very comfortable at the home! Amber worked with me with surprising my husband with Ms. Pebbles. They both were so happy to see each other.
Amber took excellent care of my Pebbles, she also provided a bath and teeth cleaning on her last day. We will be visiting again.
Amber is amazing and I trust her with my dog. She was able to board my dog for 2 weeks while I was out of the country and made sure to keep me updated with photos and messages. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about the safety of my dog. Additionally I have been bringing her to daycare regularly and my dog always has a blast and comes home tired from playing all day. Amber makes her place feel like home and I am truly grateful for her!
