About Gypsy Bayside

Hey there! My name is Amelia an I’m the owner of HydroDog Gypsy in Virginia Beach! I have worked with animals, mainly dogs for my entire life. I started by volunteering in shelters at a very young age which lead me to pursuing a degree in Animal Science from the University of New Hampshire. During my college years, I worked at a veterinarian hospital, horse barn and a dog daycare and boarding facility. I took a grooming class in college as well. After graduating from UNH I moved to Virginia Beach where I immediately started working at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I worked my way up from staff assistant to manager during my three years employed there. It was then that I realized I was ready to make something my own. After I had spoke to Jenna Brown, the Virginia representative, I knew this was what I wanted to do. Between my passion for and understanding of dogs and medical knowledge I knew it was the perfect fit.

I grew up in Upstate New York and now live in Virginia Beach with my two big headed pit bulls, Shadow and Dottie. I absolutely have fallen in love with this adventure and love meeting every dog and being able to make their day a little better. I will always treat your pup with kindness and patience and can always guarantee that your dog is safe with me!
