Autumn

Pet stylist

“I love working with animals because I have a connection with them that I’ve never really had with people. Dogs love you regardless of your identity, if you treat them with love and respect, they will give it back. I’m looking forward to growing as a groomer, but it is one of my personal goals to work in rescue someday. I want to give back to the animals what they have given me, a safe place to grow.”
