Our Staff

Owner/Groomer/Trainer

I am a self-taught groomer of 8 years. I learned how to groom on my mother-in-law’s Wheaten Terriers and the rest is history! I show my Australian Shepherds in a multitude of events including conformation, rally, obedience, agility, FastCAT, scentwork, and more. I currently have eight Aussies and one Great Pyrenees who lives with our small goat herd. My favorite breed to groom (other than Aussies) is Standard Poodles and Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers - really anything that requires some complicated scissor work! My strength as a groomer is my background as a trainer, having deep knowledge of canine behavior and unique ability to remain completely calm in the midst of utter chaos. Difficult dogs are my strong suit. My weakness as a groomer is thinking I’ll be 30 forever. Outside of all things dog, I love spending time with my family outdoors - hiking, camping, kayaking, etc. I also love a good True Crime Podcast!

Groomer in Training/Groomer’s Assistant

I joined the WagMore! team in August 2024 as a recent Kirksville graduate. My family has a shared passion and love for animals; resulting in our current fur baby count of 9 cats and one dog. I am eager to advance my skills as a groomer and continue to love on your furry family members. I enjoy spending quality time with my family and relaxing on vacation!

Bather/Prep

I began my dog grooming career with WagMore in 2021 starting as a bather, which provided me with the knowledge I possess today. It has definitely given me a sense of patience that I didn’t know I was capable of. I currently specialize in de-shedding packages! My favorite part about my profession is my team. I strongly believe that if you surround yourself with good people, you can accomplish anything in life. Also, a whole day with dogs?! Why not!! Outside of my job, I am a small town country girl. We raise a small herd of cattle and have a handful of dogs, including 3 Siberian Huskies and 2 Miniature Dachshund. I value spending quality time with my family/friends, participating in dog shows, and enjoying outdoor activities.

Groomer

I have been a dog groomer at WagMore! since 2021. I started a career in dogs by working in a large dog daycare and then started as a bather in 2015. I am now a full service dog groomer with 8 years of experience. My favorite breed to groom is the Pomeranian! I think my strong suit as a dog groomer is my patience and attentiveness with senior dogs or pets that have physical limitations. My weakness is definitely wanting to put perfect grooms on maybe not-so-perfectly behaved pets. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé and being entertained by our pack of 8 miniature rat terriers!
