 WHY I DO WHAT I DO
Dog grooming is my passion and pride, and I am dedicated to delivering exceptional care and attention to every pet I work with. I take great pride in my craftsmanship, striving for perfection to ensure each pet looks and feels their best, both inside and out. Committed to continuous growth, I actively enhance my skills by attending grooming expos and participating in online courses to deepen my understanding of pet care and meet the unique needs of every animal.

ABOUT ME:
I am a dedicated 25-year-old dog groomer with seven years of experience in the animal care field, including six years specializing in professional grooming. My lifelong mission is to support and care for pets in need, and I am deeply committed to providing the highest quality of care to every animal I encounter.
Outside of my professional life, I’m a proud pet parent to four amazing companions who inspire my work daily. Sophie, my8 -year-old Mastiff-Staffordshire mix,she is the sweetest pup you could meet—we love traveling and exploring new places together. Izzy, my 5-year-old orange tabby mix, brings endless joy to my life, and we share many adventures as she loves meeting new people. Ariel my 3 year old cat shes Main coon Norwegian forest mix.  She’s all about cuddles and exploring Surge, my energetic one year old Husky-Akita mix, was a meaningful gift to my fiancé, and we’re currently training him as a service dog to support my journey with anxiety and endometriosis.
In October 2024, I was diagnosed with endometriosis and ovarian cysts. Despite the challenges, I remain resilient and focused on my passion for animal care. My condition has strengthened my determination to work hard, help others, and make a positive impact in both the lives of pets and their owners. I continuously seek opportunities for growth, attending grooming expos and online courses to expand my knowledge and enhance my skills in pet care.
