Groomer

Allie started grooming with a chain store, which was a great learning opportunity, but she was looking for a change of scenery and joined our grooming team at Camp K9.  Getting to see all of the adorable pups come and go throughout the day is a perk to working her dream job!  Allie looks forward to meeting your fur kids and is owned by three cats, Stormy, Tubbs, and Penne.

Groomer

After working for several Vets and doing other odd jobs I knew I wanted a rewarding career working with animals, and grooming seemed like a fun and creative way to spend my time. I started 5 years ago as a groomer's assistant learning the ins and outs and spent a lot of that time learning on show Chow Chows and other large long haired breeds. I then obtained my certification. After grooming for a corporate chain for a while I decided that was not where I wanted to be. I applied at Camp K-9 where I fell in love with the people and the dogs and I plan to be here for a long time.

Lindsey is owned be Sparti, Hermes and Cletus.
