About Us
Katelin (Lakeville)
Hi! I’m the proud owner and one of the professional pet stylist at Spaw 4 Paws! Working with animals has always been a dream and passion of mine. I graduated from Argosy University with an Associate of Applied Science in Animal Technology, and stayed with that for almost 5 years. In 2014, I felt like I wanted to expand my education and career opportunities, so I became a part-time student at Rio Gran Grooming School where I received my certificate as a Professional Pet Stylist. While I enjoy both lines of work, grooming was where my heart was, so I pursued that full time. With my previous education, I have a high understanding and knowledge on animal behavior, hair, skin, and coat conditions, and over all health. I truly enjoy every bit of my job, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you!
Mindy (Apple Valley)
I am a Certified Dog Trainer and have been dog training for almost 20 years! With several years of experience in the veterinary field and dog training, I decided to expand my knowledge into the Pet Grooming field! After attending grooming school, I received my Certification as a Professional Pet Stylist.
I have several animals at home including; 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bearded dragons, and ferrets! Tootles, my 3 yr old cavapoo, was the one that inspired me to grow my passion for grooming!
I am so excited to be a part of this team at Spaw 4 Paws, as I believe every dog that comes in should have the BEST care and one on one attention they deserve. They become a part of my family just as much as your own. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

I feel fortunate to join the Spaw 4 Paws family! When I am heading into the salon in the mornings, I can not believe that I do this as a career! I get to hang out with dogs all day long and to top it off, I get to make them look beautiful.
Grooming has always been my passion. I graduated from Ruff Cutts Grooming School in 1998.
I have a loving husband, 2 beautiful daughters, and 2 amazing English Springer Spaniels (Mooney & Monroe) I like to spend my free time with family and friends doing fun things like fishing, camping, and just hanging out! I look forward to meeting you and your pooches soon!

I am excited to start my grooming career at Spaw 4 Paws! I will be working along side a group of amazing talented ladies where I'll have the opportunity to learn and grow my skills daily in my new career. I graduated from Rio Grooming School in 2021, where I received my Professional Pet Stylist Certification. I have 2 dogs; Ellie (papillon mix) and Smokey (chihuahua mix). When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I can't wait to meet you and your pups soon!
Paxtan (Apple Valley)
I started my journey to become a groomer in 2016 and I have loved every minute of it! I received my Professional Groomer Certificate through PetSmart Academy. Im inspired every day and strive to do my best even on the challenging ones. Spaw 4 Paws has made me grow as a groomer and I could not ask for a better opportunity and coworkers. I love all styles adn sizes of dogs but my personal favorite is Dobermans, but every dog that walks through the door will get the same amount of love and attention, (especially because I don't have dogs of my own.) I can't wait to meet all your furry buddies!
Taylor (Lakeville)
I am excited to start my new journey in joining the Spaw 4 Paws family! I am excited to grow and learn new techniques, as I continue my career as a groomer at Spaw 4 Paws. I have been a groomer for 9 years. I went to grooming school through Petco. After grooming for 4 years I decided to help dogs in more than just one way, so I became a dog trainer, and have been training dogs for 5 years. I have 3 dogs named Bree (pit bull mix), Kenai (Husky), and Jango (German shepherd). Dogs are a big part of my life, and I can’t wait to surround myself with more furry friends at Spaw 4 Paws!!

I’m excited to be a part of the Spaw 4 Paws family! I’m always looking to better my skills and I’m excited to be working with such a knowledgeable and caring team. I started as a groomer at Petco where I met and worked with a wide range of dogs. Through this experience, I have become comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I have a boxer/pitbull mix named Apollo and two cats, Wednesday and Jinx. In my free time I read, play the occasional video game, and spend time with my husband. I’m excited to meet you and your fur-children!

Hi there! I am beyond excited to be apart of the Spaw 4 Paws family. I started out grooming through Petco where I got to learn the basics of grooming and experience working with many types of different dogs. I’m thankful for getting the opportunity to start out here at Spaw 4 Paws because I get to work with these amazing ladies in the best work environment. There is so much love for any dog here and that is why you can trust your dog being here! I have a Shihpoo named Baby and a cat named Nino. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me and more than anything I look forward to meeting all your fur babies!
