About the Groomer

My love for dogs started early. By my first birthday I was telling the dogs what to do. I started my grooming and training in dog 4-H at age 9. Fresh out of high school and aged out of 4-H, I worked as a Kennel / Dog assistant at Veterinary Clinics. I decided that I wanted more. In 1998 I found a Cocker Spaniel breeder that taught me how to professionally groom.

My first All Breed grooming job was in the year 2000 in Auburn, WA, when I was able to perfect my grooming skills on breeds such as Terriers & different types of clips on Shih Tzu. When that business closed, I started work at another All Breed shop in Bonney Lake, WA. I was able to work on an even wider variety of breeds, perfecting my skills and techniques.

Taking some time off to have my first child, I secured a part time job at a new boarding kennel in Puyallup, WA. I now live in the Lake Tapps area and have the opportunity and ability to start my own grooming business. My daughter, Elizabeth, now comes to work with me and enjoys helping me with clean up or getting me tools.

Now that I have my own mobile grooming salon, I attend grooming trade shows where I can view and test new products. Staying on top of the industry helps me offer you and your pet the service you deserve.
