Cara is a certified, insured canine/feline groomer, who has had a lifelong love for dogs and has been working in the industry for over 17 years! We consider Cara being our most experienced groomer and it shows. She lives with her partner and 2 children (Sterling & Sunny) in the heart of Cumberland. She also has her old K9 companion, Cameron (lab x Akita) young buck Rocket (lab x heeler) and crazy black cat, Chandler bing. Cara brings extensive knowledge in grooming and behaviour of all canine breeds. She’s trained in proper breed clips and takes a tremendous amount of pride in her work and the animals she works with. She’s also had many years of experience in show grooming and growing out breed clips. She specializes in hand stripping all breeds of terriers and has many years of experience in feline grooming. If you're looking for a breed clip, hand strip or specialized scissor work, this girl has you covered. Her calm, warm personality will have your pooch sold after your first appointment here at Dodge City Grooming Salon.
Sarah worked formerly as a dog handler at a local canine boarding facility (Country Canine Care) with the ability to read dogs, making them feel a little more comfortable and showering them with snuggles and selfies, this girl has your pup covered. Sarah has 1 of her own fur babies at home (Tank) who’s a senior, beautiful German shepherd. Sarah & Leanne go back 10+ years with very similar work ethic, compassion and always eagerness to learn/move. This is why Sarah made a very smooth and quick transition into DCG. Sarah had graduated as of Jan 2021 from the JKL distance grooming education. She apprenticed with Leanne & Cara during her schooling and continues to pick up skills amongst our team. She learned very quickly and her ability to understand attention to detail was a plus as well. She's now available to take on her clientele here at Dodge City Grooming salon. One of the many things you’ll love about Sarah is her warm laugh, sense of humour and the ability to treat your pup as if he/she is one of her own. Your pup will love her as much as we do! Sarah is excellent with all breeds of dogs but with her strength, she’s one of our groomers who can comfortably handle/support large breed dogs. With that being said she has a big soft spot for all doodles and golden retrievers.
