My absolute favorite part of being a groomer is the lasting relationships I build with the pups and their parents. I genuinely look forward to seeing the dogs I care for during every visit, even the feisty ones! We celebrate milestones together, like overcoming fears (trimming their nails), celebrating birthdays, and welcoming new family members. We also share tender moments as the pups age and need more gentle care. Outside of my life at The Sudsy Pup, my greatest joy is spending quality time with my two boys, aged 10 and 5. We love going on weekend trips and discovering new places together. Yoga and meditation are my go-to for relaxation and inner peace. Plus, my love for the outdoors and nature constantly draws me to outdoor adventures, where I can truly appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

I love grooming dogs because it brings together my profound passion for these wonderful animals and the fulfilling feeling of contributing to their health and happiness. I'm all about my kids; their laughter is my world. And of course my pups : Peggy, Juice, Frank and Beans! Each day as a groomer, I get to form unique connections with these furry clients, building trust and affection. The creative aspect of grooming, where I can express their individuality and enhance their beauty, adds an extra layer of enjoyment to my work. It's a profession that aligns perfectly with my love for dogs, allowing me to make a meaningful impact on their lives, one grooming session at a time. And when I have a bit of free time, I like to dabble in silver smithing for that extra sparkle in life. I am always working to keep growing my skills and loving pets!

Like everyone always says - I got into the pet industry because oftentimes I  like dogs more than I like people. I love everything from working with senior pets to make them as comfortable as possible in their limited time with me, and I love training puppies for their future with grooming! I recently moved to Sarasota from New York, I love all things horror and I have 2 fur babies - a kitten named Salmon, and a great dane named Nagini! 

My favorite thing about grooming is gaining a clients trust through a beautiful groom and a happy dog. I love being able to rehabilitate pups that other salons may see as "difficult" or "unruly". Being able to make every dogs grooming experience a good one, is something I hold pride in! I love to travel and see me and my boyfriends family. We are extremely family oriented and are always hanging with mine or his family. My personal dog is Apollo! He is a German Shepard pitbull mix, big gentle boy!! 

I have been grooming for over 10 years and truly enjoy making dogs look and feel their best, finding great satisfaction in seeing their transformations. One of my most fulfilling experiences is working with pets who are scared and fearful, helping them regain their confidence and creating a strong bond with them.

Outside of work, I love watching movies, going out of town, and hanging out with friends. I also enjoy brushing my poodle and cruising on my fiancé's motorcycle. My future goals include finishing my NDGAA Master Groomer certifications and participating in more grooming competitions.

My beloved pets include Maui, a parti Poodle, and Tank, a Yorkiepoo.

My favorite part about working with dogs is being given the opportunity to really change a pup’s life. I love building long-lasting relationships with dogs that are freshly rescued, or pups that maybe haven’t had the best grooming experiences in the past. It is really rewarding to see a once anxious and timid dog blossom into a happy playful pup! I love road trips! I have driven across the country multiple times and my Subaru who I've named ‘Gale’ has seen every state except Hawaii and Alaska! When I’m not traveling I am at home drawing, reading, or taking care of all my reptiles whom I have affectionately dubbed my ‘zoo’. I am still figuring out how I want to shape my future and what goals id like to set out for, but I do know that I like to make people happy, I also like to take care of animals and show them that not all humans are bad. 

I really like dogs and am just happy to get to work with them. My future goals are to  become a groomer and hopefully one day have my own mobile grooming business. I try to spend as much of my time off work as I can skimboarding. I have 3 pups of my own at home -  two Great Danes named Loki and Deisel and a Boston terrier named Roycephus. 

I'm excited to work with and meet all types of different dogs! I love seeing how unique they all are; how individual each pet's personality is. My favorite thing about animals that no two are exactly alike, which means working with them is never boring. In my freetime I love to play Dungeons and Dragons at our local comic book shop with my friends. When I'm home, I prefer to spend my time playing video games or reading novels and comic books. I also love to draw, and spend lots of time making maps for tabletop games. I have a dog named Hugh who is husky mix and a very sweet boy. I also own Emily the leopard gecko, Gadzooks the gargoyle gecko, and Garrus the white tree frog.

I  love being able to work with all types of dogs everyday and be in a positive environment. I love to sing, draw, hang out with friends, play with animals, play the piano and ukulele, swim at the beach, and go on car rides with my favorite music blasting. Eventually, I’d love to learn how to become a groomer and work in business to possibly open my own shop way out in the future. I sadly do not have any pups at home at the moment, but I do have way too many stuffed animals to keep my company.

I love working with our four-legged friends, and their two-legged owners, alike! My greatest pleasure at The Sudsy Pup has been my involvement in helping communicate anxious pets' needs or backgrounds to groomers, so that our groomers know to treat them with the appropriate patience and care. I am lucky to work with a business that emphasizes the treatment of our little loved ones over all else. In my free time, I love to read and write. I'm also more than a little addicted to my workout routine. I have one dog named Pishpi, named after a very loyal stray I met in Peru while visiting. My favorite few minutes of every day is coming home from work and doing our excited little dance together when we're reunited.

It makes my day to meet and greet all of your sweet pups! I have three dogs of my own — a pittie named Maverick, a catahoula mix named Vinny, and a boxer mix named Saban whom I love with all of my heart! In my free time, I enjoy gaming, watching true crime, soaking up the sun, running my small wax melt business, and spending time with my dogs!
