Meet the Groomers.

Katelyn.

With over 13 years of grooming experience, Katelyn brings a thoughtful, enrichment-based approach to every pup she meets. As the founder of Civilized Wolf, her mission has always been to prioritize each dog’s emotional well-being—not just their haircut. Katelyn specializes in working with rare breeds, show dogs, and project pups who require a more tailored, hands-on grooming experience. Known for her patience and precision, she excels with dogs that need a little extra time, training, or trust.

Her schedule is intentionally limited to ensure every appointment is calm, focused, and never rushed. If you’re looking for someone who builds strong relationships with both dogs and their humans—and believes grooming should be a positive, fear-free experience—Katelyn’s your gal.

Paige.

Paige is our resident poodle expert, known for her incredible attention to detail and consistently beautiful grooms. With a loyal following of clients who trust her eye and skill, Paige brings a quiet confidence to every appointment. Her calm, centered presence creates a peaceful environment that pets instantly respond to. While her precision work speaks for itself, she also enjoys the occasional creative groom—adding a playful touch when the moment calls for it. If you're looking for expert scissor work and a gentle hand, Paige is a perfect match.

Rebeca.

Rebeca is our self-proclaimed Yorkie queen and the go-to groomer for all things small and sassy. With over 15 years of grooming experience, she’s quick, confident, and always kind—especially with those “naughty but lovable” pups that others might hesitate to take on. Her schedule is almost always full (because her clients adore her), but she somehow finds a way to squeeze in “just one more” with a smile and a great sense of humor.

In addition to her small-breed expertise, Rebeca is also our master cat groomer—a true cat whisperer. Her feline clients not only behave beautifully for her, but their owners are often in awe of the transformation. Whether she’s taming a spicy chihuahua or perfecting a lion cut on a grumpy tabby, Rebeca brings talent, patience, and heart to every groom.

Sam.

Sam brings a deep sense of compassion and purpose to her grooming career. With a strong foundation in dog care and a passion for helping pets look and feel their best, she enjoys working with a variety of dogs—especially those well-adjusted to grooming, where she can explore more advanced and technical cuts. She also works with a variety of special needs pets, offering calm, thoughtful care when they need it most.

In addition to her canine expertise, Sam is well-versed in cat grooming and is continuing to refine her skills under the mentorship of our master cat groomer. Her dedication to ongoing education and her love for animals shines through in every appointment. With a kind heart, a curious mind, and a commitment to her craft, Sam creates a positive, educational experience for both pets and their people.

Liz.

Liz is a seasoned grooming pro with a calm confidence that comes from years of experience in the industry. She’s especially skilled with doodle cuts—balancing style and function to create grooms that both pups and parents love. She also has a soft spot for terriers, even the feisty ones, and knows just how to handle their big personalities with patience and skill.

Though she’s a husky groomer at heart, Liz is mindful of working within her limits to ensure every big fluff gets the quality care they deserve. When a cute little beagle, pug, or puggle walks through the door, you’ll catch her softening instantly—she’s a total sucker for those squishy faces and goofy charm. With a great sense of humor, a love for the craft, and a deep respect for each dog’s needs, Liz brings heart, honesty, and a touch of sass to the grooming table.

Hill.

Hill is a calm and steady force on our team, bringing patience and care to every bath they give. As our dedicated bather, Hill excels with special needs pets, anxious pups, and large-breed projects—taking their time and adjusting their approach to meet each dog where they’re at. Their thorough check-overs often help catch skin irritations or changes early, and their gentle handling helps dogs feel safe and supported throughout the process.

Always striving to grow, Hill is continuing their grooming education and gaining valuable hands-on experience with every pet they work with. Reliable, thoughtful, and deeply dedicated, Hill provides a consistent and caring experience that both pets and their people appreciate.
