About Us
Amy Mariana
Founder/Owner, Pack Leader 2017
My name is Amy - I am the owner/operator of Pacific Dogwood Dogs, a small business derived from love and experience in caring for animals. I started my work with dogs in 2006 as dog walker for my local humane society and at The Lions Foundation Dog Guides Canada walking and grooming potential guide dogs.
In 2008 I worked in a veterinary clinic providing regular care to furry patients ; pre/post op care & prep, administering medication, attending to dietary needs, nail trims, walks & many cuddles. I adopted my first dog in 2009 through my work at the veterinary hospital – a golden retriever named “Divot” through the Golden Rescue Organization. In 2018 I adopted an older second golden retriever named "Lola".
Between 2013 - 2015 I was highly involved with a local wildlife rehabilitation centre - where I had many interesting experiences chasing geese, raccoons, bottle-feeding fawns, incubating turtle eggs, & more.
In 2017, I started my business as I studied natural resource protection at the Vancouver Island University. Ultimately my passion and love for animals, specifically Canis lupus familiaris has led me to where I am today - and I am grateful everyday that I am able to do what I love. Taking great care of your pups(s), their comfort, safety, and your peace of mind knowing they are in good hands, will always be my top priority.
