Company Overview

We started with 1 van back in 2020 and have grown steadily to now operate 9 vans daily with a solid team backing our groomers. Lora & Sam, the owners, are both heavily involved in the business with Lora as one of our groomers since the beginning and Sam spending quite a bit of time filling in as a bather as needed, so we've built our team around respect for groomers - concern for their safety and wellbeing, providing growth and educational opportunities and emphasizing care for the pets and their treatment. While we're part of a franchise brand, we're very much a local business who takes a long-term perspective on building a good team and good customers.
