About
Always a cut above the rest. I did competition grooming for 15 years and competed in competitions all over the US. My salon is in my home and set up to do 4-5 pets a day. I also groom cats. My work is very clean and precise. Included in the groom is haircut, bath, brush, nails cut and filed, ears cleaned , & anal gland expression. I also do pet sitting, where the dog can come to my house(family environment) or I can go to yours.
I was born into the pet industry as my mother is a groomer as well. Dogs and cats are my life. I enjoy all sizes, hair types, even enjoy working on pets with anxiety or behavior issues. If you use love to groom you cant go wrong. And pet sitting is exciting to me i get to meet all kinds of breeds & different animals & see their personalities in a home environment. Plus I enjoy birds, reptiles, fish tanks, basically any animal im willing to take care of.
