Meet Your Groomer
Hi, I'm Devanne, a Certified Professional Groomer serving Milwaukee's Third Ward. I specialize in one-on-one, express grooming designed to support not just how dogs look, but how they feel.
I came to grooming because of my own dog, Bubby. Like many pet parents, I wanted care that felt safe, thoughtful, and respectful; not rushed or overwhelming. I quickly realized how many dogs struggle in traditional, high-volume grooming environments, and how often stress is dismissed as "just part of it."
What began as a personal commitment turned into a professional one: to create grooming experiences that prioritize comfort, safety, and trust, and to help pet parents better understand what truly supports their dog's wellbeing.
My Approach to Grooming
I offer one-on-one, express grooming because dogs deserve focused care. That means your dog is my sole priority from start to finish; no kenneling, no rotating between dogs, no unnecessary waiting.
I work at your dog's pace, pay close attention to their body language, and adjust each appointment based on their emotional and physical needs. Progress, comfort, and long-term wellbeing always come before perfection.
- This approach is especially beneficial for:
- Puppies building positive early experiences
- Senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace
- Anxious or sensitive dogs
- Dogs who struggle in busy salon environments
Education & Certifications
I believe professional grooming should always prioritize safety, comfort, and continued education. Below are select certifications I’ve completed to ensure every dog receives compassionate, knowledgeable care.

Quality Over Quantity Always
I intentionally limit the number of dogs I work with so that each appointment receives the time, attention, and care it deserves. This is not high-volume grooming, and it's not meant to be.
I work with pet parents who value routine, education, and thoughtful care; and who see grooming as an important part of their dog's overall health, not just a cosmetic service.

I'm grateful to work with dog families in Milwaukee's Third Ward who are deeply invested in their dog's quality of life. My goal is to be a calm, trusted partner in your dog's ongoing care - someone you can feel confident leaving your dog with.
