Jillian has - like many - loved dogs since she was a child. This love for animals took off when she began to learn all of the fun things dogs and people could do together; especially dog sports. She began training her family's Cocker Spaniel in obedience and shortly after rescued a Shetland Sheepdog to train in Agility, Conformation, and therapy work. From the beginnings of her hobby in training her own dogs, Jillian has become a force in the dog community.

With professional experience in the pet industry since 2008, Jillian is a trifecta of everything DOG. She her passion in professionally working with dogs first began as a "side hustle" grooming dogs out of her garage while she went to college. Jillian graduated from California State University, Fullerton in 2014 with a BA in American Studies but then went back to school, attending Carrington College for Animal Science in 2017. It was there that she earned her degree and was trained as a Veterinary Technician. She worked in the vet industry for a few years before having the opportunity to begin work as a Dog Trainer in 2020. It was while she was training dogs that she made the move to Austin, Texas. With all of these experiences in the pet industry, one thing always remained consistent: her maintaining a side grooming business for fun.

​

Jillian has since began the transition from part time groomer to a full time business, making her background in veterinary and training part of her art. The decision to start a home-based grooming business was very intentional. Grooming salons can be stressful, include long waiting periods and multiple hands working with each dog. With the home-based model, each dog is handled as an individual and their care is carefully monitored. 

​

With open arms, Jillian is happy to welcome your pet into her home. All equipment used is professional grade and the salon is separate from the house, making each dog's grooming experience catered to them in every moment. Jillian uses gentle techniques and patience taken from her background in dog training to assure that your family member is cared for as if they were her own. She also keeps her Vet Tech training in the back of her mind to assure your pets' health and safety along the way.

Jillian is proud to be a Fear Free certified professional since 20204 and uses gentle techniques to help dogs feel safe and comfortable during the grooming experience.
