Dawn
Owner/ Chief Groomer

Dawn began her loving work with animals in 1991 when she started her pet grooming career. Right from the start, her work centered more on the humane handling of dogs and cats rather than just “getting the job done”. In addition to her talent and creativity, Dawn soon found that she possessed an intrinsic ability to “bond” with the animals. Her care and passion for the well-being of these pets became her trademark and she soon found herself in high demand.

“The health and comfort of my furry customers is the most important matter”. This is her guiding philosophy.
She would rather spend several short visits with a pet that is afraid, in order to earn the animal’s trust, than
force a stressed dog or cat to endure a painful, uncomfortable experience. Sedation-free grooming is far less dangerous and Dawn’s distinctive gift ensures your pet will enjoy a healthful, stress-free grooming experience.

Dawn has six wonderful pets of her own. Benny, a sweet but mischievous little Silky Terrier, Milton, a chihuahua mix, Sophie a whippet mix, and Mojo and Myles, her adorable cats. Her latest addition is Missy, a precious little Lhasapoo that she rescued from a less than kind family. Sadly, Dawn is still mourning the loss of Jeremy, a beautiful and good-hearted Australian Shepherd mix and her most recent heartbreak, the tragic passing of her dear cat, Techno.

In addition to regularly attending seminars and continuing education courses, Dawn is an active member of NDGAA, the National Dog Groomers Association of America.

Marlo
Groomer

While in High School, as a member of the FFA (Future Farmer's of America),
Marlo realized her life's calling... working with animals. Her great love for our
four-legged friends led her to enroll in grooming school in 1987. In additiion,
she received training in dog obedience and behavior. The Director of the school
so impressed with her natural grooming abilities, she offered Marlo a teaching position. She's been a top groomer ever since and for over 20 years, has developed a very large and loyal following.
