Hi! My name is Hailey Horn and I am a professional dog and cat groomer. I have been grooming for 3 1/2 years now and I have such a passion and love for it. Here is a little bit about me! I love ALL animals. I currently own 4 dogs, 3 Australian Shepherds and a Pit mix, 2 Siameses mix cats, 18 Ball Pythons, A Hognose, and a Boa ( All Snakes). We also breed mice and rats. Growing up I lived on a mini farm and have always been surrounded by animals and have always had a love for them.

But I am extremely grateful and proud of my job and hope to get the opportunity to groom and love on your fur babies!
