Lisa Marie brings 25 years of experience to her business Everyday Pet Styles, which has been in business eight years.
Everyday Pet Styles provides clients with professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and respectful service. Lisa Marie takes special care when grooming pets. There is no cage drying. Dogs are hand fluffed, and she does scissored styles, balancing layers throughout the hair.
Lisa Marie grew up helping her dad and stepmother with their grooming business in Maryland. Though she entertained the idea of other professions, including journalism, it was pet care that stole her heart.
“I fell in love with grooming and received so much joy from turning a shaggy dog into a kissable pet … dogs get more love when they’re groomed,” she said.
Sometimes, dogs that are not regularly groomed can have an uncomfortable experience. Lisa Marie is sensitive to their special needs.
“It’s about building trust with the dog and the pet owner. I like ending on a good note, so that the next visit is associated with happy thoughts,” she said. By taking time to make pets feel more comfortable and addressing their unique situation, Everyday Pet Styles creates a great experience for both the pet and their owner.
Though working with some dogs that aren’t regularly groomed can be challenging, it’s always worthwhile.
“It’s years of training that enables me to get the job done safely and efficiently. It’s the dogs themselves that keep her motivated. She attributes her inspiration to “tail wagging, dog breath kisses and smiles from my clients.”
