Trisha is our Owner and K9 Stylist. She lives by the motto, “If you don’t stand out, you blend in.” She began her Professional Pet Grooming Career in 2003 at petco in Shreveport, Louisiana she opened her 1st salon in 2005 at her home in Haughton, Louisiana, while also working full time as a receptionist for Airline Animal Health & Surgery Center. She moved back to her home state of Utah in 2008, there she worked for various animal hospitals before settling into her favorite position as a Vet Tech for an Animal ER in Northern Utah. It was there that she obtained a lot of her knowledge and skills that she carried forward and ignited her passion for Animal Care. Trisha accepted a position at the Veterinary Treatment Facility at Hill AFB in 2010 stepping away from The ER Life when she was expecting her first child.
There she gained knowledge and experience with MWD’s. Moving with her spouse and the military she had many “home salons” where she cared for friends and family’s pets as well as fellow military, family pets. She and her husband even “fostered” a few as a part of the program “Dogs on Deployment” while their owners were serving overseas. Following a military move and the birth of their 2nd child, Trisha opted to step away from Animal Care as a profession and instead operated an in home daycare for tiny humans while she stayed home with their two children for 5 years.
Missing her dogs and her creative outlet, but also needing the freedom to be available for her kids and family, she opened her 1st mobile salon when her husband took his 1st Civilian position in Little Rock, Arkansas. She quickly filled her route and purchased a 2nd van. Employees were not reliable and she and her husband found out they were expecting their 3rd child, so decided she wanted to stay small and service her clients as owner/operator to maintain the quality and personal relationship with each of her loyal clients. She sold her 1st van and moved forward with her new van. Following the birth of their 3rd child and 3 1/2 years into her successful business, they relocated to Louisiana to be closer to family. Trisha continued to service both her new louisiana clientele and her entire original arkansas clientele, following their move to Louisiana in 2020. she was forced to give up her arkansas route in 2023, after many vehicle breakdowns on her way home from her monthly visits. Trisha and her husband have 3 boys, ages 16, 12 and 7. They currently have 4 dogs that they love dearly. a rescued Lhasa names Missy, their 5 year old Dalmation / Border Collie, Ellie Mae, Their Rescued Blue Healer Lainey, and their rescued Beagle Mix Willow. They finally purchased their dream home. A small homestead on 6 acres where they acquired 5 goats and 12 chickens, a Horse named Cookie, a donkey named Paco, & two Kune Kune Pigs named Winston and Churchhill. They plan to add many more farm animals to their small piece of Heaven!

trisha has enjoyed servicing her wonderful mobile clientele in Louisiana and cherishes the relationships that have been built. Though she loves her clients and will go to the ends of the Earth for each one, with many continued breakdowns and having the mobile salon be unreliable, she made the decision in January 2026 to close down the mobile salon and build a luxury, small volume salon at her home in Benton so that she can continue to provide the same luxury, stress-free services at home that she has provided in her mobile salon for the past 10 years.
