Meet Michelle Hopkins, one of our talented and experienced groomers who joined our team in 2023. Michelle brings over 6 years of professional grooming experience, along with a lifelong passion for caring for animals.
Michelle is also a proud mom of three sons, and being a great mom is one of the things she values most. Her caring and nurturing nature extends beyond her family to the animals she works with every day.
Michelle’s love for animals started early. She grew up on a farm, where she spent her childhood surrounded by animals and learning how to care for them. Because of this, she has truly worked with animals her whole life.
She began gaining professional experience at 17 years old, when she started trimming nails at a spay and neuter clinic, giving her 18 years of hands-on experience working with dogs.
Michelle also has a big heart for rescue dogs and has rescued many dogs over the years, giving them loving homes and second chances.
When it comes to grooming, Michelle has a special place in her heart for big dogs—in fact, her motto is “the bigger, the better!” She specializes in grooming large breeds and is known for her confidence, strength, and gentle handling that helps even the biggest pups feel comfortable.
Michelle truly loves what she does and takes pride in helping dogs look great, feel comfortable, and go home happy.
Meet Christa Champagne, one of our passionate and caring groomers! Christa has been grooming since 2025 and quickly found that working with animals is exactly where she belongs. Her gentle approach and attention to detail help every pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their grooming experience.

By the time she was 16, she started her first job working with animals, continuing to build experience and deepen her passion for animal care.
At home, Christa shares her life with two energetic companions—a German Shepherd and an Australian Shepherd. In her free time, she loves training her dogs and taking them on fun adventures, whether that means exploring new places or practicing new skills together.
Christa also has a special soft spot for ferrets, and her love for all kinds of animals shines through in everything she does. Known for being very sweet, patient, and dedicated, she truly enjoys spending time with every pet she meets.
Christa is grateful to do what she loves every day—caring for animals and helping them look and feel their best.
