KyAnna Martino, Owner/ Certified Professional Groomer                           

“I have always had a passion for animals, especially canines. I grew up with two Toy Poodles who visited the groomer every four weeks. Even as a young girl, I was fascinated by the level of detail and effort that went into their haircuts. In 2017, I started my grooming career in Bellingham, WA, and have since focused on continuous education. I strongly believe in the saying "You never stop learning" and invest in seminars, certifications, online courses, webinars, and hands-on classes with the top professionals in the grooming industry to provide the best services for your pet. I am a Certified Professional Groomer through the International Pet Groomers Association and am currently working on my Masters Certification. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband Logan and our pets, Oats - a Bichon Frise, and Rusty - an orange tabby cat. I have recently started showing Oats in conformation AKC dog shows, and I hope to get involved in more dog sports in the future. I believe that every dog is unique and special and deserves to be treated as such. Each dog has its own personality, specific needs, and requirements.”
