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

I entered the pet grooming industry 8 years ago 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 quiet soothing space for my beloved clients grooming services. I love to research and utilize the best products, and have the 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. My husband and I adopted him from the Luzerne County SPCA. And then I have my two cat’s- Shaela aka Shae Shae the gray tabby who is around 10 years old from Miss Pats Cats rescue in NJ and Maybelline (Maybel) my funny Snowshoe girl is 6 years old. A little bit about myself- I have always been an animal lover! I stopped eating animals when I was 12 years old, and I went vegan about 3 or 4 years ago. I enjoy skiing, sketching, painting, pilates, jogging with my Brewski, and my plants.

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

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 at PetSmart as a bather 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. She definitely has a soft spot for senior pets!

Cassie is another pet stylist here at LFPS!! Cassie is creative and has a special way with animals, she always seems to find a way to comfort the fur-baby in her care! She is here every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 11-7:30 for your grooming needs!

I worked with Cassie for 2 years at PetSmart, I worked with her as a bather and was very excited to be able to see her off to grooming academy and oversee her journey of learning the art of grooming. She has blossomed into a talented groomer who loves working with large breeds, she definitely has a soft spot for Golden Retrievers and does amazing outline trims!

Outside of work Cassie has 5 cats, she is a proud cat mom and is excited to learn cat grooming with me here over time! She also has a talent for jewelry making, another way she loves to tap into her creative side, and you can see her jewelry on intagram @rassmiz_

We are so happy to have Cassie’s talent on our holistic grooming team!
