Our Team
Francine
Francine is our receptionist and has taken on the position of our most gracious manager. Francine is a dedicated mother and a devoted pet parent to her mini-zoo, including Pickles, Penny, Mattie, and Sophia. As she would say, “They are my whole world, and I just so happen to live in their universe.”
Many years back, she became a groomer, she has continued to work and remain involved in the pet grooming field ever since. As she would tell you from her heart, ” I have always had an inherent love for animals. I can’t imagine spending my days any other way.” Her days remain with incredible attention to detail and loyal customer service. “It is always an absolute pleasure working with the clientele and their furry friends.”
We are most grateful for her, as the front desk operations are full of many tasks to make daily activities and customer service perfect for your experience and ours.
Gloria
Gloria, born and raised in Phoenix, moved to Colorado for several years but decided to return to the Valley in 2010. She attended Gloria’s School of Dog Grooming and has been grooming for the past 36 years. Gloria grooms all breeds and her scissor-finishing skills are evident in her finished work.
She is called the Doodle star of our shop because she tends to do a lot of them. She also fancies Bichons, Havanese, and just about any variation of Poodle.
Gloria will always tell you how much she loves her work. That’s why she always goes above and beyond for her clientele. Her favorite saying is “I am blessed” and we call her The Perfectionist!
Christine
Hello, my name is Christine. I grew up in a small town outside of Boston, Massachusetts, and graduated from Northfolk Agricultural High School, where I majored in small animal science.
I discovered my love for dog grooming at age 16 when I worked for a grooming salon and was mentored by a wonderful dog groomer and business owner. I knew from then on that my life’s work and joy would be a hairstylist for our beloved animals.
I have been in this field for 25 years and continue that joy. Our family moved to Arizona in 2014, and my interests include hiking, gardening, reading, and spending time with my loving husband, our four amazing girls, and our six beloved pooches.
I thank all my clients for their trust with their furry friends, so I can continue to be of good service to you and yours.
Tatum
Our joyful bather, Tatum, has a zest for life and a profound love for all creatures, great and small. She has been involved in the dog grooming industry since 2016. She will tell you that she enjoys making dogs feel fresh, clean, and beautiful.
We are most fortunate to have her on our team while she continues to expand her education and qualifications to become a professional dog groomer for you and your besties one day.
