Sara's love for animals began from childhood. She knew from a very young age, that she wanted a career field involving animals, as she would take care of and play veterinarian with her stuffed toys.

​

She began her career as a professional dog groomer in 1991. Taking extra care and attention to the first-time puppies, making sure they get the best experience and enjoy many years of grooms for the rest of their lives.

 

Although her speciality is puppies, she has a tender hand and treats elder dogs and all ages in between with her own special touch.

​

Throughout her 25 years of grooming at Shear Heaven Pet Salon, she has never gone a day without her own fluffy family member, whether it be rabbits, birds, dogs, or goats. Animals have and will continue to always be a part of her life.

​

Sara's life has had a few ups and downs. In 2012 she was diagnosed with cancer and sadly had to step away from grooming for a year to undergo chemotherapy. Thankfully, she made a full recovery and is now cancer free. While the experience was a life-changing event, it helped connect her with customers who had those hardships. She is grateful to be alive, to continue doing what she loves, and to have a new connection with customers that she would not have had before.

​

Now with her new outlook on life, you can see it blossoming into her grooming. Shaping flowers on fur and using pet-safe dye to add color. She started practicing her flower art on her own dog. It is a fun way to let her creative side shine.
