Madi
DOG GROOMER
Hi my name is Madi, I have 2 cats a bird and two fish I love all types of animals and will hopefully one day have dog as well. I wanted to become a groomer because I love working with animals and have been working in a salon bathing dogs for years. What I enjoy most about grooming is getting to work with all different types of dogs and fitting their grooms to their unique personalities.
Madi is currently off on sick leave

It all started with wanting to be a hair stylist when I was a kid. At age 18 when a friend i went to high school with asked me who was a dog groomer and wanted me to bathe dogs for her. I have always wanted to work with animals but also loved cutting hair. I am compassionate, caring and gentle and very patient. My job is to listen and take time to make every dog feel loved, safe and to enjoy the process of being groomed with a calming and loving environment. 16 years later and I still love what I do!

I am an experienced self-taught groomer whose love for animals came early on as I begged my parents for animals growing up. I would go to my grandparents and make many memories at their farm in the summer. I spent time with the animals and gardening. I worked in the office world for many years before deciding to go after my passion. It has been a fun experience, and I look forward to many more years of learning and fun. I love working with the loves of my life. I have 3 dogs named Buster ( Chihuahua), Angel (shipoo), and Ellie (Golden Doodle). I'm excited to be here at Pooches N Pals to look after your fur babies as well . Please let me know anything and everything about your pooches so that i can make sure they have the greatest experience with me.

What I love about grooming the most is the bond you end up creating with each dog once the groom is over.
I also love watching them slowly over time get over their fears of the grooming process.
I love to dry very big hairy dogs.
My goal for grooming is by the end of the year I want to be able to groom 3–4 dogs daily, in a timely manner

My goal for grooming is by the end of the year I want to be able to groom 3–4 dogs daily, in a timely manner while not sacrificing quality and the connect[ion] to the dog.
My second goal is to learn more about the business side of things to know if I would enjoy or suit it.
