Meet Amy & Our Cavaliers
Hi, I’m Amy Ellington. I live in Creedmoor, North Carolina, with my daughters, Danielle and Rachel, and the Cavaliers who have a way of making themselves the center of our day.
I spent years learning about this breed before I began raising puppies. I love helping families understand what life with a Cavalier is really like and sharing practical guidance as their puppy settles in. Questions are always welcome.
Becky Holleman of Kingston Cavaliers and I also wrote Raised for Royalty, a practical guide for bringing home and caring for a Cavalier. It grew out of the questions families ask us most, and I hope it helps you feel a little more prepared along the way.
Some of our adult Cavaliers live with caretaker families, where they enjoy everyday life as cherished pets. You can learn more about how that works in our Caretaker Program.
Three Generations of Making Things
The handmade side of Cavalier Obsession has its own family story. My grandma, Osa Marie Kimmer, sewed our Easter dresses when my siblings and I were little. She passed that love of making things on to my mom, Renae Richard.
Mom makes many of our larger pieces, including mats, quilts, and drawstring bags. I love finding fabrics and making bandanas, bows, and leashes for the pets we adore.
In 2021, Mom and I turned that shared interest into a business. Some of my favorite memories from those early days are sitting beside her, sewing, talking, and figuring things out together. That's the feeling I hope comes through in everything we make.
Glad You're Here
Whether you came to meet our Cavaliers, learn about a puppy, or find something handmade for your own little obsession, I'm glad you found us. Take a look around, and please reach out if you have questions.
