Katie

Hello, my name is Katie; I have been a dog groomer in Winona for about four years. I was born and raised here in Winona. I have three children (17,15 & 10). As a Norwegian elkhound, we have a hairless Chinese crested, two cats, and three parakeets. At the farm, I also have two horses and a pony. Growing up, I have always loved animals; I was part of 4-H, where I showed horses and did baking, sewing, and photography projects. My favorite part about grooming is meeting all the great pets everyone owns. The seniors are my favorite, as I  love spending a little extra time with them to make them as comfortable as possible. I also enjoy going to groom shows to learn all the new things in the grooming industry to better my skills. Outside of work, I love going for walks/hiking, gardening, kayaking and camping, and hanging out.
