Patty Hey There, I am from Louisiana and have been here for 13 years. I have been around animals since the 1st grade. When my mother told me if you get all A's on your report card you can have a cat... well, I came home with both! I have been a professional dog bather, private dog sitter, and worked at a doggie day care. All of my animals have been rescues. I have a 17 year old dog, a 2 year old dog, and 2 cats. And yes they all get along great. I think I was put here on this earth to take care of pets and people and I Wouldn't have it any other way. I am proud to join this team of like mined people.

Jessica Hi! My name is Jessica and I have been grooming for 3½ years. I am originally from Memphis, TN and when I was 13 we moved to Defuniak, about 40 minutes away from Destin. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and when I returned from college I knew I wanted to work with them. Seeing them happy after a groom is the best feeling!	Stylist
Mandi I am originally from a small town in Illinois. I went to college for 3½ years majoring in Zoology. My passion for animals is why I love my job. I have 2 dogs so when I joined the Air Force I knew that I wanted to be Reserve so I could keep my dogs and stay in this area. I’ve been grooming for 3 years and am excited to have this opportunity to make your pet look and feel great!	Stylist
