The Local Floof

My journey in pet styling began in 2009 at a pet grooming school in Pasadena, California. Over the last 17 years, I’ve refined my craft and perfected a compassionate grooming style that prioritizes a dog’s emotional well-being above all else.

​Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the best professionals in the industry, gaining invaluable insights and mastering the high-level techniques I now bring to my own shop. I have been practicing Fear Free grooming since long before the formal movement began; for me, the official certification was simply a bonus to honor the way I have always handled animals.

​Now, as the founder of The Local Floof—which has been proudly serving the Bend community for almost five years—I’ve traded the California coast for the high desert, but my commitment to excellence remains the same. I believe every pet deserves a stress-free experience, which is why I focus on a 'quality over quantity' approach and exclusively use high-quality, skin-safe products. As a registered member of the National Dog Grooming Association of America and being CPR certified, I ensure your dog is in the safest, most experienced hands possible.

​Outside of the grooming room, my life still revolves around the animals I love. Whether I’m at the grooming table, gardening with my husband, or on the field with the Bend Polo Club, I am proud to be a part of the vibrant animal-loving community here in Central Oregon.
