About Us

  I have loved animals from a young age and always aspired to be a veterinarian. As I grew up and realized that wasn’t for me, I refocussed my career and achieved a Bachelors of Environmental Studies with a Major in Wildlife Management. I have a unique background working on the Peregrine Falcon recovery program in Manitoba and have worked at mitigating the gull population using both hawks and falcons. While in University I developed my love for grooming and since then I have attained the title of Certified Intermediate Stylist Technician from the Canadian Professional Pet Stylists (CPPS) along with having a Certified Stylist Technician certificate.  

I have been an active member of the Professional Pet Groomers Association of Manitoba (PPGAM) since 2013. I have attended many educational seminars here in Winnipeg that were put on by the PPGAM. I have also travelled out of town for shows including SuperZoo in Las Vegas in 2013, Mastergroom Canada in Calgary in 2016 and Groom Expo in Hershey, Pennsylvania in 2017.

I own three CKC registered Finnish Lapphunds named Olli, Elara and Eevee. Olli is a Canadian Champion, has the title of Canine Good Neighbour, and passed many obedience classes. Elara also has her Canadian Championship. Eevee is still in training and has a few points towards her championship, she also has her advanced trick title.

  Jessica started out in the dog industry by volunteering at multiple dog shops and was quickly hired on at 17 years old. Jessica loves to help with rescue work and volunteers her time to Manitoba Mutts Dog Rescue. She has 3 dogs, Lily the American bulldog mix who is 5 years old, Onyx the Mastiff mix from Winnipeg Giant Breed Rescue, he is 10 years old, and Haze the Shepherd mix who is around 2 years old. She also has a leopard gecko, Gummy who is a relaxed little lady who likes to chill on her shoulder.

She has done many obedience and agility classes with Lily and loves to teach her new tricks.

Her favorite breed of dog to groom is Australian Shepherds and she hopes to have one one day. Any type of double coated dog is her specialty!

She is knowledgeable in pet nutrition as she used to work in a pet food store. She is passionate about continuing education and is looking forward to certifying soon. Her goofy and upbeat personality makes it fun for every dog that comes to see her.
