Summary

I love working with dogs, and I have hands-on experience bathing, handling, and doing light grooming. I work with different breeds and personalities every day, so I’m comfortable keeping dogs safe, clean, and cared for. I’ve also been practicing grooming on my own doodles and poodles at home. I’m excited to keep learning, grow my skills, and eventually become a full groomer through PetSmart’s Grooming Academy.

Work History

Blue Water Pet Care

Blue Water Pet Care
Port Huron
02.2025 - Current

Currently working at Blue Water Pet Care, I work directly with dogs in both daycare and boarding. I give baths regularly and have worked with dogs that aren’t always easy to handle—nervous, wiggly, or high-energy. I’m used to monitoring behavior, making sure dogs stay safe and comfortable, and keeping everything clean. I also help with feeding, cleaning kennels, and watching over group play.
I haven’t done full nail trims at work yet, but I’ve helped co-workers when they need an extra hand, and I’ve done nails on my own dogs at home.
