About me

I am a wife and mother of 3 kids and 3 fur babies. I was lucky to grow up with a variety of pets, which helped shape my interest in animals. Obtaining my Animal Care Certificate from Sheridan College opened the doors to a career in veterinary and grooming. For the last twenty years I have enjoyed working in animal hospitals as a Groomer, Veterinary Assistant and Office Manager. Having a home-grooming salon allows me to have a work/life balance while providing the same professional service at a reasonable price with a personal touch.
