BRI

Hi, I’m Bri! I am a professional pet stylist, and as of August 2023, the proud owner and founder of Lavender Fields Pet Spa.

I entered the pet grooming industry in 2015 as a dog bather at PetSmart in Millville, NJ. I worked as a bather there for about a year and went through grooming academy at PetSmart in Dickson City, PA. My academy class in 2018 had the great experience of learning face to face from Jodi Murphy, a renowned pet groomer who started at PetSmart herself. In April 2021 I took a salon management position at the Wilkes-Barre PetSmart where I was able to gain experience and improve my own grooming techniques while helping others learn to become groomers. My next career goal is to become certified as a master groomer with the AKC.

When the opportunity came up to purchase a salon I could not pass it up. Pet grooming is my biggest passion and owning my salon gives me the opportunity to create a safe, quiet, soothing space for my beloved clients’ grooming services. I love to research and utilize the best products, and utilize my creative freedom to practice new techniques/services and continue to grow as a pet stylist.

My own fur-baby’s are my precious, big, handsome, sweet pittie mix Brewski aka Honey Bear, Boo Boo Bear, Boo Boo, Big Handsome. He is the dog in our comapny logo! My husband and I adopted him from the Luzerne County SPCA. I also have my two cat’s- Shaela aka Shae Shae the gray tabby who is adopted from Miss Pats Cats rescue in NJ 2016 and Maybelline (Maybel) my funny Snowshoe girl who I rescued in 2017. A little bit about myself- I have always been an animal lover! I stopped eating animals when I was 12 years old, and I became vegan in 2018. I enjoy spending time with my husband Jeff, being an auntie to 5 adorable and amazing niblings, skiing, sketching, painting, pilates, jogging with my Brewski boy, and caring for my little plant collection.

I very much look forward to meeting you and exceeding your pet grooming expectations here at Lavender Fields Pet Spa.

CAITLYN

Caitlyn is another pet stylist here at LFPS!! Caitlyn is gentle, compassionate, and a perfectionist with a passion for her work. I admire her work ethic and dependability, which is so rare to find.

I hired Caitlyn while working at PetSmart in 2021. After months of training Caitlyn was ready for grooming academy, then I oversaw the rest of her grooming education until she became a fully certified pet stylist. Caitlyn has certain qualities that can’t be taught- she is naturally reliable, a fast learner, great communicator and so compassionate toward every pet. She quickly has become a talented and skilled pet stylist.

Outside of work Caitlyn has 2 cats, Bubs and Fat Man, and of course her precious pittie, Bella. Bella is 14 years old and has been with Caitlyn her entire life. Bella recently passed and will be dearly missed by everyone whose life she touched <3 Caitlyn definitely has a soft spot for senior pets!
