Simone "Sophia":

With over 10 years of professional grooming experience, I’ve dedicated my career to helping dogs look and feel their best. My passion for grooming started early—I grew up in the world of conformation shows with Chow Chows, where I learned the importance of precision, coat health, and presentation.

That foundation shaped my approach today: combining show-ring quality grooming with gentle, stress-free care tailored to each pet’s needs. I specialize in bringing out the natural beauty of every breed—whether it’s a flawless scissor finish, a hand-scissored coat, or maintaining the lush textures of double-coated breeds.

Above all, I believe grooming isn’t just about appearance—it’s about the comfort, confidence, and well-being of the dogs in my care.

In my personal life, I’ve been fortunate to explore the world and its quiet wonders — sharing Rakia in Serbia, watching the sun rise over the Taj Mahal, and drifting along the Danube. Each journey has deepened my appreciation for the many ways people find beauty, meaning, and connection in everyday life.

More than anything, I hope my son sees in me the belief that anything is possible when you lead with curiosity and the courage to try.
