About Me
With over 11 years of experience in the industry, I've grown to cherish every moment spent pampering our adorable furry clients. My commitment to providing exceptional grooming services in a safe and compassionate environment is unwavering.
As an AKC S.A.F.E Certified groomer and a Certified Canine Esthetician, I prioritize your pet's well-being above all else. Safety guidelines are always followed to ensure your beloved companion has a stress-free and enjoyable grooming session. It brings me immense joy to see them leave the salon looking and feeling their absolute best.
In 2022, I decided to take my grooming skills to new heights by seeking further education and venturing into grooming competitions. The thrill of showcasing my artistry alongside talented groomers has been exhilarating. I'm proud to have received honorable mentions and even secured a 2nd Place with a Standard Schnauzer in Handstripping within my first two shows! These experiences have only fueled my passion for delivering beautiful grooms that make tails wag with delight.
Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. Whether it's a soothing bath, a stylish haircut, or a show groom, I pour my heart into creating a delightful grooming experience for every adorable client. Together, let's make your pet's grooming sessions paw-sitively unforgettable!

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn.
Visit My salon
It all started with an idea
After separating from a corporate grooming salon in March of 2021, and deciding what to do with my career, I decided to remodel our garage addition into a small grooming salon! I was free to use my expertise to design a safe, clean, relaxing and practical space to work on clients from home! My garage was nowhere near “groom ready”, but I was convinced that I would make it work.
An Idea became a vision
With some help from family, we moved the old Bentley out of it’s resting place(Yes, a 1952 Bentley from London), and started to clean out a space! Slowly but surely, my salon began to take shape.
A vision became a dream
By June of 2021, the small salon got a few upgrades. A proper kennel bank that allows me to safely house up to 4 dogs at once, an electric grooming table, a professional grade high velocity blow dryer, and A WALL! But there was still more work to do…
A dream becoming reality
Currently, my salon now features sanitized kennels with nail safe grates, soft pad flooring that’s easily cleaned and sanitized between pets, a safety gate that creates an oops-proof barrier between pets and the door, dedicated drying and grooming stations to help keep the space clean, and much more.
Everything in my salon is easily cleaned to ensure the health and safety of clients and myself. There’s still a lot to be done, but I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished so far!
I groom here on Fridays ONLY, and work Mon-Thu at an upscale salon in Countryside, IL named Novi Grooming Salon. I am currently not taking new clients at my home, and select clients at Novi’s and I am typically booked 10-12 weeks out. I am currently only open to new Handstrip, Breed trim, or Show Trim clients that are on a MONTHLY schedule.
