Hello

"What I love about grooming isn't just doing something I'm truly passionate about every day — it's using hands-on skill to help every fur baby feel better. When a dog is nervous, I start by figuring out why, then work to correct or nurture through it. After that, it's about showing them they're safe, loved, and that I mean them no harm."

Alexis Niffenegger - Groomer

With over two years of grooming experience, Alexis is especially passionate about proper double-coat care and maintenance, and loves educating owners on healthy coat management, deshedding techniques, and preserving the integrity of a dog's natural coat.

One of Alexis's greatest strengths is working with dogs that struggle with fear, anxiety, or fear-based aggression during grooming. She takes pride in building trust, moving at each dog's pace, and helping them create positive associations with the grooming process.

She also has a growing interest in creative grooming, and enjoys exploring safe, fun ways to showcase each dog's personality through color and artistic grooming techniques.
