Tanya R. Washburn is a 2007-2008 graduate of the Academy of Dog Grooming Arts in Arlington Heights, Ill. But her "grooming salon" career started long before that at the age of 15. With a love of animals, and experience showing her Jack Russell Terrier she sought out to find a job that matched. So she applied at a bustling grooming shop as a bather/assistant. It proved to be a great job through high school and college so when the decision came to pick a career...She researched grooming school options and went for it. In a short few years she has worked along side some incredible groomers with experience in may aspects of the grooming and showing world. She takes pride in her work by attending numerous seminars and clinics annually, to stay current, as well as maintaining a membership with the National Dog Groomers Association. She values the close working relationship with the neighboring veterinary staff. Her experience working with them and her certification with Canine CPR are a wonderful benefit. She values the relationships built with long term clients and their owners. Her next goal is to begin the rigorous testing process to be a Certified MASTER Groomer. We look forward to pampering your pet at Petopia!

🌟 Meet Your New Pet Stylist and the Proud Owner of Petopia – Stephanie! 🌟

Hello, everyone! I’m Stephanie, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to Petopia! Caring for the dogs entrusted to me is not just a job; it’s a true honor. As a dedicated groomer, my mission is to provide thoughtful, compassionate care that creates a calm and uplifting experience for every pet I work with.

In addition to my passion for grooming, I’m also a proud mother to my two wonderful children, Willow and Zane. My commitment to this work drives me to commute from Lake George, Minnesota—about twenty-six miles from Bemidji—because grooming is more than a career for me; it’s meaningful work that I approach with intention and compassion.

My journey in grooming began in January 2021 as a bather, where I quickly fell in love with the transformative power of hands-on care. By March 2022, I was eager to deepen my skills, completing my studies through Animal Behavior College and interning at Canine Divine. I proudly passed my final exam on July 4, 2023, and I’m also certified in pet first aid, ensuring that your pet's safety is always my top priority.

Education remains a cornerstone of my career. In August 2024, I attended the All American Grooming Show in Schaumburg, Illinois, where I completed an in-depth hair and skin course taught by Dr. Cliff Faver. His insights into dermatological health have inspired me to pursue further training, especially for dogs with sensitive skin or specific wellness needs. My philosophy is simple: grooming should support the whole dog—mind, body, and coat.

When I’m not grooming, I cherish spending time outdoors—hiking, camping, exploring new places, and capturing special moments with my children. Being part of the Lake George community has deepened my appreciation for nature’s beauty and the connections it fosters. These experiences shape my grooming style—patient and artistic, grounded in attentiveness, and guided by a genuine respect for each dog’s unique personality and beauty.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! I am honored to carry on Petopia’s legacy. I look forward to building trusting relationships with both you and your beloved companions. It is truly wonderful to be part of your pet’s care. 🐾
