Hello! My name is Morgan.
I was born in Boise, Idaho and currently live in Nampa, Idaho. I was raised in Phoenix, Arizona and have lived in Oregon and Minnesota as well. I love to read, learn and travel, and I love animals.
I have been a dog groomer since March of 2011 when I started as a bather at a Petco in Phoenix, Arizona. I worked at my first store for a year and a half and became certified as a Pet Stylist, then moved to a second store in Glendale, Arizona in preparation of moving to that area. Times can change fast though, and four months later I moved to Portland, Oregon. I worked at a Petco store in Portland, Oregon for 5 years, where I started cat grooming as well as dog grooming in August of 2013. I stayed in Portland until I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in the winter of 2018, working at another Petco in St. Paul until the summer of 2019. During the summer of 2019, I also worked in a private shop with a Certified Master Groomer to work on my technical grooming skills. In the summer of 2019, I moved to Boise, Idaho and I worked at the Petco in Eagle, Idaho until February of 2021 when I made the decision to go fully private and leave corporate. I worked at a small private salon located in Meridian, Idaho called the BarkMarket, BarkWash & Treat Shoppe before moving to a salon named Fancy Paws Pet Salon in Nampa, Idaho. I work out of Fancy Paws as a self-employed groomer. I am a member of International Professional Groomers (IPG) and am a certified Advanced Professional Groomer (APG) through IPG.
I love grooming. I love being able to spend time with all sorts of dogs, and being able to make them look their best! My job isn’t always easy, what with dogs not always wanting to be groomed and handled, so it’s also an intellectual and physical challenge. Grooming pets is definitely not boring!
