The SoftPaws Family

 My name is Suzie and I am the owner of Suzie SoftPaws.  My love for pets started when I was very young.  However, I did not have my first dog until I was 14 years old.  My mother bought a miniature poodle and named him Babyduck.  I was always fascinated when Babyduck came home from the groomer because he was so pristine, and his feet were AMAZING, so round and fluffy.  That was how my love for grooming started.  I always knew I wanted to be a groomer and after 12 years on active duty, I separated and went for my dream.   Taking care of dogs is my passion and making sure they are as comfortable as possible is my most important job.   

Hi, I’m Lisa! I’m originally from Ohio and got my start in grooming through a high school vocational program. After graduating in 2009, I went on to receive my formal training and became certified in 2012. I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially horses—and I’m currently working toward my Equine Facilitated Learning and Coaching certification.

At home, I have two furbabies who keep me smiling: my dog, Cyprus, and my cat, French Fry. When I’m not grooming or spending time with animals, I love expressing my creative side through painting and other art projects.

 Hi, I’m Josie! I’m in high school and currently training to become a cat groomer. I’ve always loved animals, especially cats—I have two of my own, Moose and Indigo, who are the best little helpers. When I’m not practicing grooming skills, you can usually find me involved in my school’s theatre program. I also have a twin brother who keeps life fun and never boring! 

 Hello! My name is Katlyn, and I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My love for animals began with my childhood dog, Dave, and only grew stronger over the years. In November 2020, I started my grooming journey as a dog bather at PetSmart before moving on to private salons in South Florida.

What drew me into grooming is the blend of care and creativity it requires. I discovered that grooming allows me to express my artistic side while making pets look and feel their best. The satisfaction of crafting a great haircut and seeing the joy it brings to both the dogs and their owners is unlike anything I had experienced in previous jobs, and it continues to motivate me every day.

At home, I share my life with two fur babies: a Belgian Malinois and a  little Snowshoe Siamese.

Hey, I'm Beccy B and I've spent my entire life taking care of animals. When I was young I rehabilitated feral street cats and dogs, from my neighborhood to out of the country. While in art school at 18, I chose to work for PetSmart to help bring in income. I never thought that this job would be the starting point for my life's career in animal care. 

For the next 15 years I invested deeper in grooming mastery and animal behavioral, developing a deep passion for animal care and sharing helpful insights to the pet parents I get to work with. 

I currently have two loving furry babies. Benny, a pomeranian, whos been with me for 11 years and my cat, Pat, who I've had since a new born 10 years ago. 

My name is Jamila and I have been in the grooming industry for almost 4 years.  I have been passionate about dog grooming since I was a kid.  Before I started my grooming career, I was volunteering with the Denver Dumb Friends League Buddy Center.  I have been with them for 4 years.  I started my journey with a mobile grooming company and had an amazing teacher who taught me some of the skills that I have learned.  I still learn new things every day and I love taking care of and treating furbabies as if they were my own.  I have a 3-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd/American Eskimo mix named Natasha and a 16-year-old Ragdoll cat named Puff.  I'm excited to be a part of the SoftPaws family and can't wait to meet you and your pup!

  Hi! I’m Eva, I grew up in a house with 4 animals so I’ve always loved animals. Growing up I also really loved working with my hands so I came into the grooming industry! After a grooming basics crash course I started under a Master Groomer in a salon further north here in Colorado. I got to refine my skills on double coated dogs with her for just about a year, I love to do anything with style! I specialize in double coated dogs and most terrier patterns but love completing any service! I’ve been grooming for about 3 years now, but I am kind of new to mobile services and so excited to be a part of the SoftPaws family!
