Our Team!
Meet the Groomers
Our groomers have chosen to work for Muddy Mutts because they understand the stress the pet feels after being stuck in a cage all day, groomed in an assembly line fashion. They know that
your pet deserves one-on-one attention, and are willing to give him/her that attention during
the appointment. We offer a relaxed and stress-free grooming experience. We provide a sanitary environment where groomers are professional and deliver a high quality groom that you will love!
