Our Amazing Staff

Mel


 

Says “No problem!” while mentally calculating how long this is going to take. Runs on caffeine, high standards, and the quiet satisfaction of shaving out mats you swore weren’t there.

Nicole

​(Wyoming Store)

Can bathe, blow dry, and fluff a hairy dog before your coffee gets cold. Moves at 2x speed but still finds time to say, “Who’s a good floof?” Bling? Yes. Beaches? Yes please. Dolphins? Here is my resignation letter and I'll be right there.

Tricia

Customer Service & Co-Owner  


Tricia is always available to check you in/out and answer any of your questions. Tricia has many years of customer service experience and it shows.

Calli

Calli

Calli

Operations Manager

Yes, I can book you. No, today is not available. No, not tomorrow either. Yes, your dog is very cute. That does not change the schedule.  If I had a dollar for every time someone said “just a trim,” I could retire. I cannot retire. I answer the phone. 

Traci

Calli

Calli

(Wyoming Store)

Small to medium dogs with the occasional big dog mixed in. Despite all the sass, the wrestling matches and the fluff explosions, the dogs leave looking fantastic. Traci, on the other hand, not so much.

Ray

Cari

Cari

Customer Service & Nutrition

Focused on growth, branding, and vibes. Unclear how a deshedding works but fully supports it.  Knows the Instagram password. Does not know where the extra shampoo is stored. 

Cari

Cari

Cari


Specializes in 6-pound dogs with 60-pound attitudes. Has been yelled at in frequencies only dolphins understand. 

Kenzie

Kenzie

Kenzie

(Comstock Park Store)


Yes, your dog was matted. No, brushing once a month is not “regular.” Delivers flawless haircuts and uncomfortable truths with the same steady hand. 

Raquel

Kenzie

Kenzie


Raquel is a groomer. Her favorite color is pink. She no longer cries like she used to.

Grace

Kenzie

Grace


 

Grace is a graduate of the Michigan School of Canine Cosmetology and has a true passion for working with dogs of all breeds and sizes-especially the big ones! She is dedicated to making every pet feel comfortable, cared for, and looking their best. Outside of work Grace enjoys outdoor activities and going for walks.

Zoey

Has a system for everything. Drying pattern. Bow placement. Treat distribution. If you disrupt the system, you will be gently corrected. 

Liz

 

“Wow, that’s cute!” Internally: The blend could’ve been smoother.  Your dog looks amazing. I’m still annoyed about the left paw. Don’t ask which toe. I know which toe.  

Kailey

(Comstock Park Store)


She has wrestled 73 doodles, Mastifs, mean cats and only lost twice. Fluent in Bark, Side-Eye, and “He doesn’t usually act like this.” Accepts payment in Dr. Pepper and emotional validation. 

Nancy

Calms nervous dogs, nervous owners, and occasionally nervous coworkers. Has said “He did great!” about dogs who absolutely did not do great.

Nikki

Nikki

Nikki

Runs the daycare solo after dark. Knows who howls at 8:03pm sharp and who pretends to be asleep but isn’t. Talks to the dogs like coworkers. Trusts none of them fully. Though alone, she is emotionally monitored by twelve pairs of eyes. Still manages to maintain bedtime order like a pro. 

Jenny

Nikki

Nikki

Holds daily staff meetings with the dogs. Provides performance feedback like, “We don’t eat our friends, Pepper.” Firm believer that eye contact solves most workplace conflicts.  Regularly narrates the dogs’ inner thoughts out loud. Yes, she answers when they “talk back.” 

Alexis

Bronson

Bronson

Dog screaming? Calm. Toy war? Calm. Mud explosion? Calm. Softly narrates the dogs’ behavior like a nature documentary. “And here we see Stanley attempting to steal a toy that is not his.” Remains peaceful at all times. 

Bronson

Bronson

Bronson

Arrives at work. Says hello to every dog individually. Updates them on the weather. Debriefs them at pickup. Somehow never stops talking, smiling or letting you know how amazing he is feeling.
