My name is natalie and I work in the grooming salon at petsmart! My life revolves around animals and I really do love it. I’m passionate about what I do because each dog is different and feels like my own little art project. I’ve become a person who obsesses over the dogs even on my days off. I want people to know my goal is to complete each dog as if it were my own. I take pride when dealing with a difficult doggy too, it’s just practice to become an amazing groomer. Patience is a virtue and it’s tested everyday working with dogs. Being able to read an animals body language is a BIG part of working with timid or stand-offish pups. Dogs are weird, and so am I! I work 4 to 5 days a week but usually only morning and early/mid afternoon. I wake up really early and could fit a moderately long walk in before I go in for the day. My job is awesome about working with what’s best for me. I can easily be put on to a set schedule that will allow me to work with what’s best for you and your pup. I can see my scheduling weeks/ months in advance so if a certain time or day is needed I can change my work schedule as needed. I can board as well, I could do potty breaks every couple of hours throughout the day and long walks in morning and evening. I’m an active girl who loves to hike and explore! I live in a pretty spread out area with lots of land to roam for walks. I have a house with a big yard and a tall fence. I have a small dachshund, a labradoodle, and a black lab that are really friendly playful pups. I live with my sister, she just graduated from isu with her bachelors in animal science. We are all animal lovers here!
