Cari’s earliest childhood memories are of her dog & cat. They were her best friends growing up & had such a huge impact on her life. As a result, she developed great compassion & love for animals. They bring so much love, joy & laughter to our lives. What better way to spend a day working, than to spend it with dogs & cats?

Cari followed her passion & love of animals & completed grooming school over 20 yrs ago. She has been grooming professionally ever since. She was a grooming manager of a busy salon at a large company for years, until she opened Four Paw Spa in 2008. She chose mobile grooming because she wanted to provide pets with a better, safer & more comfortable grooming environment. She enjoys the one-on-one time with dogs & cats that she can only achieve in the mobile environment, rather than the factory like
environment of a busy grooming salon.

In addition to her grooming training, Cari has a bachelors degree in Animal Physiology from UCSD. She shares her home with 2 active dogs & 3 great rescue cats.
