Carrie discovered her passion for dog grooming in 2011 after rescuing her first Newfoundland, Miss Riley, and developing a love for maintaining her beautiful, long coat. Inspired by this experience—and later by the rescue of her second Newfoundland, Parker—she enrolled in the Merryfield School of Grooming, graduating in 2017. Her talent quickly shone through when she took First Place in the Career Start category at her very first grooming competition, launching a fulfilling six-year career.
Committed to excellence, Carrie attends the Orlando grooming show annually, where she continues to expand her knowledge through hands-on education and industry workshops. She takes great pride in delivering high-quality grooming and is dedicated to creating a calm, positive experience for every dog in her care.
Outside of The Grateful Dog, Carrie loves spending time with family and friends, enhancing her photography skills, and exploring new places.
