Hello
My name is Rachel and I am an award-winning professional groomer. One of the things I love most about grooming is the ability to combine creativity with my lifelong love of working with dogs. Very few people are lucky enough to find a career they truly enjoy, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found one that I am both passionate about and deeply dedicated to.
My Story
My love for dogs started early. Growing up with several dogs, I spent much of my free time playing with them, walking them, and working on training. In 2017, I began working professionally with dogs as a bather, originally thinking it would be a temporary job until I figured out what I “really” wanted to do. Instead, I quickly fell in love with the artistry and skill involved in grooming and fully committed myself to the craft.
​
As my interest in grooming grew, I wanted to deepen my understanding beyond grooming client dogs alone. My first personal dog as an adult, a Standard Poodle named Sebastian, began as my “practice dog” while I continued learning and developing my skills. He has since become my first show dog, my first grooming competition dog, and a major part of my growth in this industry.​ Not long after, I added two more dogs to my home to broaden my experience across different coat types and breeds: my American Cocker Spaniel, Seamus, and my Sealyham Terrier, Maurice.
​
My favorite grooms are breed-standard styles thoughtfully adapted to fit the lifestyle of each dog and their family, as well as fuller hand-scissored trims. I have a particular soft spot for poodles, cocker spaniels, and terriers, though I truly enjoy working with dogs of all breeds.
​
When I’m not at the studio, you’ll often find me grooming competitively with one of my three dogs, attending seminars, or participating in dog shows and events while continuing to work toward new ribbons, titles, and—most importantly—continuing to learn.
