About Oodlepaloodles

Why Oodlepaloodles?

I grew up with a natural passion for animals — always watching Animal Planet, reading everything I could about animals (even dinosaurs!), and falling in love with dogs at an early age. I had the wonderful opportunity to help out at a local grooming, daycare, and boarding salon during my teen years.

That passion grew into becoming a Bather for a corporate salon and eventually earning my Grooming Certification. Later, I worked at a private salon and honed my skills even further. I came up with the dream of Oodlepaloodles as an environment where I could provide a low-stress atmosphere and an individualized care plan for each dog I service.

Oodlepaloodles is Certified in Canine CPR & First-Aid and I am a Certified Canine Esthetician — ready to help improve the lives of dogs with different skin and coat needs. I am constantly hungry for extended education and do my best to help educate pet parents on their dog's needs.

Spending two years mobile, I focused on expanding my special skill base. I've worked with dogs with multiple skin conditions, health conditions, in-heat, pregnancy, post-partum, final end-of-life grooms, shelter dogs straight from the streets, extreme flea and tick removal, aggressive/reactive dogs, and more.

Now, Oodlepaloodles continues in my own Private Suite within Jazzy Pawz Pet Suites Inc. in Atlanta — a cage-free, one-on-one personalized "Arista-paw" grooming experience. Companions of all shapes and sizes are welcome. Suite #103.
