Southern Divine Kennels Pet Grooming

Hello, I'm Kaitlyn, and I bring several years of grooming experience to Southern Divine Kennel and Pet Grooming. My love for animals started long before I became a professional groomer, and that passion continues to guide me every day in the salon. I believe every pet deserves to be treated with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own animals.

At home, my husband and I share our lives with three wonderful dogs and a pet lizard, making our household just as lively and full of personality as the grooming salon itself. Each pet has their quirks and charms, and being surrounded by them reminds me daily of why I chose this career.

In the salon, I focus on creating a positive and stress-free experience for every pet, whether they’re in for a simple bath or a full groom. My goal is to help pets not only look their best but also feel their best. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a freshly groomed dog leave with a wagging tail and an owner who’s just as happy.

Hi, I’m Barbie!

I’ve been a professional pet groomer for 18 years, and I’m incredibly passionate about what I do. Grooming isn’t just a job for me—it’s my calling. I truly can’t imagine doing anything else, and I take pride in bringing comfort, style, and care to every pet I work with.

Throughout my career, I’ve focused on building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. I specialize in providing gentle, high-quality grooming that helps each pet feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. My goal is always to create a calm environment where pets can enjoy their grooming experience and leave looking and feeling their very best.

I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments and understand that each pet is unique. Whether it’s a first-time puppy cut or a full senior groom, I always tailor my approach to fit the pet’s individual needs and comfort level.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and fur babies. I'm so grateful to bring my passion and experience to Southern Divine Kennels Pet Grooming, and I can’t wait to welcome you and your pets into our salon!

Hi, I’m Cheyenne!

I’ve been a professional pet groomer for 13 years, but my love for animals goes back as far as I can remember. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by pets, and that connection has shaped who I am today—someone who truly enjoys building trust with every animal I meet.

At home, I live with my husband, Tommy, and a fun little farm of our own! We share our lives with dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, and cows—so it’s safe to say, I’ve never met an animal I didn’t try to befriend. I bring that same compassion and energy into every grooming session, always aiming to make each pet feel safe, relaxed, and pampered.

I specialize in gentle handling and care for pets of all temperaments, and I love helping each one feel their best while looking their best. My goal is to make the grooming experience a positive one for both pets and their people.

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll find me caring for our animals, enjoying the outdoors, or spending time with family. I’m so excited to be part of the team at Southern Divine Kennels Pet Grooming and can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them the spa day they deserve!

Hello, I’m Jim! I’m a professionally certified groomer with more than 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of grooming settings, which has allowed me to develop a well-rounded skill set that combines precision, creativity, and compassion.

I have extensive experience in breed-standard cuts and take pride in mastering the finer details that make each pet’s groom stand out. My favorite part of grooming is seeing the transformation — not just in appearance, but in confidence and comfort. Every dog has a unique personality, and I enjoy tailoring each haircut to fit that individuality.

I’ve developed a special dedication to dogs that struggle with fear, anxiety, or aggression. I believe patience and understanding go a long way, and it’s my goal to create a calm, safe environment where every pet feels secure. Helping nervous or timid dogs gain trust is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

Creativity also plays a big role in my work. I love giving pups a little extra flair through grooming styles that highlight their personalities — from playful trims to polished show cuts. Some of my favorite breeds to work with are Doodles of all types and Cocker Spaniels, both known for their fun, loving temperaments and beautiful coats.
I look forward to continuing to provide top-quality grooming and helping every pet look and feel their very best. 🐾

Hello, I’m Amanda!
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, I developed a deep appreciation for the happiness and comfort they bring into our lives. I believe animals are one of God’s greatest gifts — they love unconditionally, fill our homes with joy, and remind us daily of the simple blessings around us.

As a Kennel Assistant and Receptionist at Southern Divine Kennels Pet Grooming, I get to combine my passion for animals with helping clients every day. Whether I’m greeting a wagging tail at the door, assisting during grooming appointments, or helping pet parents schedule the perfect spa day, I truly enjoy being part of each pet’s experience from start to finish. My goal is to make sure every guest — both human and furry — feels welcome, comfortable, and cared for.

At home, I’m lucky to be surrounded by my own little family of pets: my dog Otto and my two cats, Hazy and Vesper. They always know how to make me smile and remind me why I love what I do.

Becoming part of the Southern Divine Kennels Pet Grooming family has been such a blessing. I love working alongside a team that values compassion, quality, and faith in everything we do. Every day brings a new opportunity to make a difference — one tail wag and happy smile at a time. 🐾

Hello, I'm Olivia, and I've never met a fluffy friend I didn't like. My love for animals started young—rescuing squirrels and tiny critters was a regular part of my childhood. Today, I'm a passionate groomer with a special love for big, fluffy dogs. When I rescued my husky, I realized grooming was more than just a skill—it was my calling.

I’m dedicated to helping every dog look and feel their best. I thrive on transforming tangled, shedding coats into smooth, glossy fur and believe that grooming is about health and comfort just as much as appearance. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a happy, fresh pup leave the salon with a wagging tail.

When I’m not grooming, I enjoy crocheting custom pet toys and clothing, tending to exotic plants, and expressing myself through art. Creativity is a big part of who I am, and I bring that same passion into every groom.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to make sure each pet feels pampered and each owner leaves with a smile.

Hello, I'm Brittany, and I bring over 18 years of professional grooming experience to Southern Divine Kennel and Pet Grooming. My journey began in Virginia, where I trained at an academy after moving from my home state of California. Skilled in all AKC breeds and advanced grooming styles, including Asian fusion, I take pride in combining artistry and precision to bring out the very best in every dog. Beyond grooming, I’m also passionate about mentoring and guiding future groomers, helping them develop their skills and confidence.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of every size, coat type, and temperament. Known for my patience and attention to detail, I strive to ensure that each dog not only looks beautiful but also feels comfortable and cared for during their grooming experience.

Outside the salon, I’m a proud wife of 17 years and mom of four wonderful children. Moving to North Carolina marks the start of an exciting new chapter, and I look forward to serving this community with the same dedication and love for animals that has guided my career from the very beginning.
