Southern Divine Kennels Pet Grooming

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. 🐾
