About me
I have always had a bond to animals, especially dogs. I became a groomer honestly because I thought I wanted to "make dogs pretty". Fast forward 20 years now and I still have the need to make dogs feel pretty, but with a whole different outlook. I truly feel grooming is so much more than a bath or haircut. It's a relationship, built on trust, patience, understanding, and genuine love.
​
I believe dogs can sense exactly how you feel and will react accordingly to who you are internally. Grooming for me is a way to connect, bond and share my love for dogs while "making them pretty".
​
With that said, I am adamant about always providing a gentle, calm, and loving experience for your pet. One where they are excited to come back. I will always do what is best for your pet.
​
Comfort before vanity!!!! A day at the spa should leave them feeling happy, refreshed, loved and proud!
​
I am so happy to share my passion and love for dogs with your fur babies.
