Katie's love for animals developed at a young age as she cared for her own cats and dogs. Her love for grooming started in 1999.

​

In 1999, at the age of 11, she contacted a local grooming salon to work off a grooming session for her miniature poodle. Katie then worked on and off for that business as a dog bather for 12 years before opening Summer Meadows Pet Spa in 2011, named after her loyal Newfoundland, Summer.

 

Seeing the need in the community for a more relaxed and spa like atmosphere for pets inspired her to open her own salon. A quiet, cage free, one on one experience helps to give your pet the relaxing session that they deserve. You will not find another groomer more dedicated to ongoing education, cleanliness and customer service for both humans and pets. 

​

In addition to traveling several times a year to grooming conventions to learn about the newest styles, techniques and products, Katie is a member of the National Cat Groomers Institute and attended their cat grooming certification course starting in September 2018 and earned her certification as a Certified Feline Master Groomer (CFMG).
