Nikki

She is a passionate dog groomer who thrives on challenges—she loves tackling tough nail trims, mat cases, and working with elderly or nervous pups. Her favorite part of the job is building trust with dogs, helping them feel safe, and watching them grow over time. She also enjoys teaching both coworkers and clients, making every grooming experience a learning opportunity.

She found her way to Big Valley Pet Resort through a late-night job post, and from day one, it felt like home. The people, the dogs, and the atmosphere are what keep her here.

When she’s not grooming, you’ll find her hiking with her dogs, kayaking, or hunting for agates on the beach. She truly loves being outdoors!
