Owner
Certified Pet Groomer and Iv San Bernard CPAe
Growing up, Lydia volunteered at wildlife sanctuaries, animal hospitals, and a zoo in Gulf Breeze and Pensacola, Florida. She loved (and still does!) spending her free time bonding with her own pets and being surrounded by all the different species on the farm. In high school, she worked as a kennel technician and assistant dog groomer and trainer.
Then, Lydia was a veterinary technician at an animal hospital while earning her bachelor's degree from the University of West Florida. She went on to obtain her dog & cat grooming certification, followed by Pet Skin Academy's Certified Pet Aesthetician in October 2024, and 6 other certifications: Hair & Skin 101, Skin Assessment, Geriatric Grooming, A Groomers Guide to the 15 Coat Types, Mobile Grooming Safety, and Pet First Aid/CPR, along the way and counting!

Whether we locate at your home, work, or another setting, we are here to meet the needs that are best for you and your dirty dog.

Wondering where the inspiration behind the dog in our logo came from? Groomer Lydia's childhood Golden Retriever, Sassy!
We wish you guys could have met her, but this is how Lydia is able to share her sweet spirit with you all. She inspired young Lydia to become the ulti-mutt dog lover and to dedicate her life to helping all four - legged friends since they all help us so much.
Rest in Peace, Sassy girl, the original dirty dog!
