Indi started grooming in 2017 after graduating from the American Academy of Pet Grooming. When asked what made her fall in love with grooming Indi says “it’s seeing the change in the dog after they’ve been pampered. I love when they start wagging their tails on the table and they always seem to strut their stuff afterwards!” Indi loves working on breed-specific cuts and has spent her career perfecting the teddy bear style. When not grooming Indi divides her time between gaming and cooking new and healthy recipes.

Tatia started as a bather/grooming assistant in a high-end grooming salon in NYC in 2018, where she was handling up to 20 dogs a day bathing, drying, brushing, trimming nails and learning from the professionals she worked with. “It can be a very demanding job but I wouldn’t do anything else. Even when I am tired, the dogs make me feel warm and happy and I can forget my problems and just focus on making them clean and beautiful.” Tatia loves grooming collies, doodles, wheatens, and water dogs — the fluffier, the better!
