Meet the Team

---

Hi, I’m Kim – the founder and heart behind Dog Town Grooming!

I started Dog Town because I wanted something different for my own dogs: a grooming studio that was kennel-free, calm, and built around trust and care. That vision turned into a space where dogs are treated like family—not just clients.

While I’m not a groomer myself, I’m deeply involved behind the scenes, making sure every part of the experience reflects the love and respect I have for dogs.

What truly sets Dog Town apart is our incredible team. Each member brings their own unique talents, but what truly sets them apart is how much they care. Every dog that walks through our doors is met with patience, gentleness, and genuine affection.

When I’m not at Dog Town, you’ll find me spending time with my family, out walking our dogs, biking, or hiking together. This business is a passion project—and we’re so excited to share it with you and your pup.

Hi, I’m Bernie! I’ve always loved animals and naturally went into working with them. Meeting and caring for countless pets over the past 8 years has been a pleasure and I particularly enjoy building trust with nervous dogs and rescues. I love a good deshed and especially grooming huskies with their silly personalities.

Outside of the studio, you’ll find me working on various art projects, snuggling with my kitties, or biking on our awesome pathways around the city!

Hey there, my name is Kristina! I'm a Fear Free Certified professional pet groomer with 20+ years in the animal industry, including work in the Veterinary field and with rescues. My love for dogs and creative flair make it a joy to work with every dog that sets their paws on my table. I treat every dog as my own - with love, patience and maybe one too many treats. I enjoy grooming every breed, size and personality. My goal is to create a calm and welcoming session for your fur baby, while having fun creating a haircut that best suits your pup.

When im not at the studio, I enjoy time with family, our favourite things are exploring outdoors, picking up our favourite books from the library and spending quality time with our pets.

Hi, I'm Khala - a certified dog groomer with a true passion for animals. I absolutely love what I do and take pride in making pets feel comfortable, cared for, and to look their very best. I approach every groom with patience, compassion, and a keen eye for detail. 

Outside of the shop I'm a proud mom to 2 wonderful kids, and 2 amazing senior dogs. We love spending time outdoors, especially camping, and soaking up everything nature has to offer. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I feel lucky everyday to have been able to turn that into a career.

Hi, I’m Hannah—and I’ve always preferred dogs over humans (no offense!). Their quirks, loyalty, and adorable faces make every day brighter. I grew up in a small town, and I’ve brought that same cozy, down-to-earth care to the big city with our small-town-style grooming salon.

I treat every dog like family, with plenty of patience, care, and maybe a silly voice or two. When I’m not elbow-deep in suds and fur, you’ll  find me curled up with a good fantasy novel—lost in magical worlds—snacking like it’s a hobby, or crafting something just to justify my copious amounts of craft supplies.
