Hi, I’m Jackie. I’ve adored animals for as long as I can remember. I credit that love to my dad, who worked on the railroad and was always finding friends in need — then bringing them home (sometimes in his shirt pocket) to get them the care they needed. From him, I learned the love and importance of the relationship between man and beast.

​

Over the past 23 years, I’ve worked in private salons, corporate settings, veterinary clinics, and owned my own grooming business. Recently, my focus has shifted to providing care in pets’ own homes — offering a calmer, more personalized experience for animals who may not thrive in a traditional salon environment.

​

Beyond grooming and continually furthering my animal behavior and grooming education, I love spending time outdoors, gardening, baking, cooking, reading,and learning new things. 

Animals have played a key role in helping me see and accept God’s love for me. My ultimate goal in grooming is to give that same love, gentleness, and care back — one pet at a time.
