Hi, I’m Heather

My history and love for dogs started when I was 14. I’ve now been grooming dogs for over 27 years. 

At the age of 14, I went to the local pet hospital/dog grooming business, which was 2 blocks from my home and was hired to clean animal kennels for them. During the 4 years i was there, they taught me a lot about the veterinary industry.  I decided after graduating high school to go to Ridgewater College to receive my Veterinary Technician degree. During my college years I worked for a local veterinary clinic in Willmar who hired me on after I graduated. I worked for them for 7 years honing all the skills I had learned. At that time in life, I was having a family and decided to go work for Fedex Ground. At FedEx, becoming the Senior Administrative clerk gave me a great opportunity to learn how to manage a business. As I was working for FedEx, I was also grooming dogs out of my home on the side.  In the summer of 2013 my dog grooming business out of my home became extremely busy. It became obvious that this was going to be sustainable full-time and allow for me to do what I love: working with dogs.

In 2016 the dog grooming business kept growing, which enabled me to hire on another full-time groomer. With 2 additional groomers working full-time, I was able to buy a building for the Groom Zone to continue to grow. My goal for this business is and will always be to help and support our communities families with their 4-legged friends. I believe I have been blessed with this calling for my life and I love going into work to be able to love what I do.
