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 overall health. I truly enjoy every bit of my job and treat every dog as if they were my own. My family consists of; Garrett, my loving and support husband, 2 beautiful girls named Raeghan and Reese and our English Mastiff named Boomer.
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 very thankful and excited to be a part of the Spaw4Paws family. I started my grooming career in Arizona, where I attended Grooming Academy and received my Professional Pet Stylist Certification. Ever since I was a little girl, working with animals has been my dream. I am very grateful to be living that dream, spending every day with your fur babies, making them beautiful and keeping them comfortable. When I’m not at work, you can find me spending time with my dog, Bear (Lab Mix), hanging out with friends and family, or reading. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon!
Katie (Lakeville)
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!

I am so grateful to be apart of the Spaw 4 Paws team! I recently moved her from Arizona, I’m excited to be here and continue to grow.
Ever since I was younger I always wanted to work with animals and I’m so happy that I found grooming, it’s such an honor being able to take care of everyone’s fur babies! When I’m not at work usually you can find me outside or hanging out with our little fur babies at home.

I have been working in the pet industry for 8 years, in a variety of positions from being a Pet Health Ambassador at several retail locations to starting my grooming career in Bozeman, MT after growing up in the Lakeville area. I graduated from Rio Grooming School in 2023 with my full certification. I am more than excited to expand my career with Spaw 4 Paws, and offer the highest quality grooms to my community.
In my free time you can find me at the hockey rink, hiking with my dogs, and riding my two horses that keep me very busy. Happy tails and trails!
