I have been grooming for over 20 years. I absolutely love grooming. I have  groomed all breeds of dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. I started at a corporate pet store chain and eventually opened my own business when I was 24.  

​

   My services differ from other groomers because I only work part time, that way I can have more patience and time to work on your pets. I also believe in not using the same toothbrush on every pet as it can spread diseases.  Every pet is different and one size fits all isn't my style. Senior pets must be handled very carefully as they are delicate and fragile. Puppies need to have a good first session!  Feedback is always welcomed; as I want all my clients to be happy with my services. 

 I do think most other groomers work too much, and cannot provide a safe environment because of their high levels of stress. Overworking can result in accidents and frustration when working with pets with high anxiety . It is important to me that your pet is safe and has the best experience they can. I definitely believe in humanity over vanity so don't expect me to torture your matted dog. 

  In the case of a difficult groom, I may have the owner come to help hold the animal or I may make the decision to send the pet home. Grooming is not worth risking a pet's life and if you have a hard to groom animal, please check with your veterinarian first to see if you can get medication to help calm the pet or have your vet office groom the animal. I have been bitten over the years and honestly it's not worth grooming a vicious animal. ​

 My favorite clients are the ones who follow the grooming schedule and take good care of their pets. If you're looking for a groomer who doesn't shave your pet short, I love fluffy puppies but I ask you stay on a strict 4-5 week grooming schedule. Fluffy hair and beautiful cuts take maintenance. 

   Over the last decade, I have rescued several horses from feedlots and placed them in loving homes.  My lifelong dream is to rescue horses and connect them with people.  Horses and dogs are my favorite animals. I would love to own property one day and rescue needy animals. 

    I have raised my own horse from birth and have shown in many English and western shows all over northern California. When I am not grooming I am working and training horses.
