Hello, my name is Gwen

My love for dogs began at a young age and has only grown stronger over the years.  As a devoted pet owner, my personal experiences continue to inspire my commitment to providing every dog with the highest level of care.

My passion for dog grooming began when my childhood dog entered her senior years.  What were once enjoyable grooming visits began to leave her unusually tired and restless.  The anxiety of car rides, the physical strain on her aging body, and the loud, high-energy salon environment took a visible toll. At the time, I was working as a hairdresser, so I began grooming her at home.  In the quiet, familiar space she knew —paired with plenty of breaks and less distractions—she became noticeably more relaxed and comfortable.  Mobile grooming offers that same opportunity:  professional care brought to your dog’s home environment, where they feel safer and more at ease, right in the comfort of your driveway.

I’ve always been a natural caretaker with deep empathy for those experiencing fear, stress, or uncertainty.  Before becoming a professional dog groomer, my career spanned wellness fields including cosmetology, massage therapy, and nearly two decades in healthcare—where I helped clients feel safe, heard, and valued.  That same intention now guides my work with dogs. With a strong understanding of how stress affects both body and mind, I’m dedicated to providing gentle, low-stress grooming rooted in Fear Free principles and a growing knowledge of canine behavior.  Grooming has become a natural extension of my lifelong passions—blending my love of animals with the skills I’ve cultivated throughout my career.

As your pet’s skin and coat care professional, I’m especially passionate about skin and coat restoration.  I help address common concerns like  dry skin, irritation, and excessive shedding—often signs that your dog needs more than just a trim.  Grooming isn’t only about appearances; it’s a vital part of your dog’s overall health and comfort.

You can count on me to continually further my education.  I regularly attend seminars, workshops, and advanced training taught by the industry’s leading professionals and veterinarians.  At Trust and Harmony Mobile Grooming, I am honored to support the well-being of both dogs and their humans—helping pets feel their best in an environment tailored to their needs.
