Meet The Team

Carrie

Carrie’s passion for dog grooming began in 2011 when she rescued her first Newfoundland, Miss Riley, and fell in love with caring for her long coat. After rescuing a second Newfoundland, Parker, she enrolled at the Merryfield School of Grooming, graduating in 2017. Her first competition earned her First Place in the Career Start category, marking the start of her rewarding six-year grooming career.Every year, Carrie eagerly attends the Orlando grooming show, where she engages in continuing education to enhance her skills. She takes great pride in her work, focusing on quality and ensuring a stress-free, positive experience for every dog.

Outside of The Grateful Dog, Carrie loves spending time with family and friends, enhancing her photography skills, and exploring new places.
