Hi, I’m Melody! I’ve been grooming for five years and love working one-on-one with each dog to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and looking their best. When I’m not grooming, I’m surrounded by my own crew of pups and spending time doing rescue work. Dogs aren’t just my job—they’re my life. I look forward to building trust with your pup!

Hello, I'm Lexie! I’ve been grooming since 2020 and knew very quickly this was the career for me. I work with dogs and cats, and I’ve completed training through two different academies. My goal is to make pets look beautiful and feel relaxed during their visit.  🐾❤️

Hi, I'm Julia! I've always made deep connections with animals and turned those connections into a passion. I began my grooming career in 2022 and have been striving to provide a fear-free experience for every pet I work with.  When I'm not grooming hanging out with my 2 pups- Piggie and Fin. 

I've been grooming dogs for ~ five years, starting as a Veterinary Tech before apprenticing under a master groomer. I managed a facility  that rehabilitated dogs where I worked on behavior and socialization. That shaped how I approach grooming. I'm focused on making every dog feel safe and comfortable while helping them look their best.

Hi, I'm Lisa. I started grooming  with my Aunt when I was 17. I've also been a human stylist and an ER nurse but my passion is animals. I've been with Bark and Mane for the last 4 years. I love my pups and have 2 of my own along with a farm full of goats, chickens, a duck and a large herd of cattle.
