The Story

Welcome to The Groom Room, my name is Bethany. I am a single mother, middle school teacher, school bus driver, and animal lover. I started my journey as a pet groomer by grooming my own pets, including a dog, cats, and guinea pigs (yes, they need grooming too...nail trims and haircuts for the ones with long hair). While living in State College, PA, and a single mother of a preschooler and a toddler, a friend and fellow animal enthusiast suggested that I apply to the grooming department of the local, newly opened, Petco. I applied, and was hired on, as a bather/brusher, with the understanding that I would be promoted to groomer, upon completion of grooming school and demonstration of an acceptable skill level. I enrolled in, and passed, grooming certification through a correspondence course, and was mentored by the head groomer in the salon. Due to disagreement with management, and a move to a different town, I left Petco and went to work in a private grooming shop closer to home. While racing with the kids one day (I was much younger then) I fell and SERIOUSLY sprained my wrist, and was unable to groom for a number of months. Skip to today, and that preschooler and toddler are now 20 and 18, and there are 2 more in the mix. I love my teaching job, but it is at a small non-profit christian school, and our family of 6 requires more income than it provides. So, I decided to go back to the only other job I have ever really absolutely loved. Contact me today and let me know what I can do for you and your furry friends!
