Who I am

Hi, I’m Trina—the groomer behind The Grooming Loft.

I’ve created a grooming space that focuses on quality over quantity, with a structured schedule that allows me to give each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. My approach is calm, intentional, and tailored to each dog’s individual needs.

I continue to grow my skills through ongoing education, regularly attending industry grooming expos each year to stay current with techniques that support both coat health and overall comfort.

🐶 ❤️ The heart behind it all 🐶 ❤️

Chewie, my Goldendoodle, was the inspiration behind The Grooming Loft. Grooming him was something we both truly enjoyed, and it’s what sparked my passion for creating a calm, positive experience for every dog I care for.

While Chewie is no longer with me, his influence continues to shape the way I groom—with patience, kindness, and attention to detail.

✨ Training & Continued Education

My background includes hands-on training and continued education in:

  • Professional grooming and bathing techniques

  • Sanitation and safety practices

  • Geriatric (senior) grooming

  • Doodle and high-maintenance coat care

  • Pet CPR and safety awareness

  • Advanced skin and coat health, including training through the IV San Bernard Pet Aesthetician program

My goal is simple—to provide a calm, comfortable grooming experience where your dog feels safe, cared for, and treated with intention from start to finish.
