  • Jess Years With Camp Bow Wow: 7 Groomer & Camp Counselor

    Skills and Experience

    Background:I started out at CBW as a camp counselor and quickly realized that I could never go back to a job without dogs! I took a particular liking to giving the campers baths and trimming nails, so I decided to take it another step further and become a groomer. Dermatology is my favorite aspect of grooming and I love working with essential oils to help soothe itchy pups!
    Additional Skills/Qualifications: Skills/Qualifications- Graduated from Pampered Pet School of Dog Grooming, Certified Veterinary Assistant, Pet First Aid & CPR Certified, Certificate in Canine Therapeutic Spa Essentials.

    Fun Facts

    What I love most about my job:Being able to spend one on one time everyday with my favorite pups. I also love that the dogs get to know me in the play yards as well as the groom room, because it helps us to create a relationship outside of grooming and builds trust!

    My pets: Sammi- German shepherd mix, Sophie- yorkie/peke mix, 2 cats- Gorby and Crumb and 1 guinea pig- Appa
