Tampa Bay Canine Retreat

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!!

We boarded our 3 pups with Amber for about a week & would recommend. She gave updates everyday, was thorough on understanding their needs for care & flexible with drop off/pick up. We appreciate our pups being well cared for you can tell that Amber sincerely loves animals & is passionate at caring for them.

We have been using Tampa Bay Canine Retreat since we moved to the area about a year ago. We have an older dog that we rarely board and all of our experiences with them have been fantastic. She is great at communicating and providing updates with photos. My dog loves staying with her and they have built a great bond, you can just tell they truly love and care about animals. She even does little art crafts! I can’t recommend them enough!

Amber was absolutely phenomenal with my Maltese, Milo! From the moment I left him in her care, I felt completely at ease. She kept me consistently updated with pictures and videos, which meant so much—especially since this was Milo’s first time being away from us and around other dogs in nearly five months. What truly stood out was how intentional Amber was about making Milo feel comfortable. She adjusted her routine as needed to ensure he felt safe and settled in what was a completely new environment for him. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him as if he were her own. One of the main reasons I chose Tampa Bay Canine Retreat was because of the level of engagement and interaction she provides. She doesn’t just “watch” the dogs—she actively spends time with them, keeps them engaged, and even offers training and grooming services depending on your needs. That personal touch makes all the difference. There is truly no better place I would trust with my pet. Amber exceeded every expectation, and I’m so grateful for the love and care she gave Milo. We will absolutely be back!

Amber and her husband were amazing with my dogs! They trained my coonhound not to counter surf which was a big issue. I can now cook in my own kitchen! Additionally, they now have manners and are crate trained I would highly recommend this facility!!!
