Meet the Team
We are excited to have a wonderful group of people who are all equally as passionate about animals!

Owner
Crystal Labelle
A dedicated equestrian, pet groomer and animal lover Crystal grew up on a hobby farm and always knew she would end up in a career working with animals.
​
Crystal is an honour roll graduate with a Business-Accounting Diploma from St Lawrence College. She took her business knowledge and combined it with her passion for animals and opened her business in 2015.
Having over 15 years experience grooming and handling all different dog and cat breeds and temperaments, Crystal can often make nervous pets feel completely at ease.
​
In her spare time, Crystal is a busy mom of three and thoroughly enjoys riding in the sport of dressage with her horse Teddy.

Dog Groomer Trainee
Charlotte Dewan
With a degree in Zoology and a decade long Veterinary Technician career, Charlotte brings a variety of animal knowledge and experience to the team. You will immediately feel at ease with her lovely British accent!
Charlotte is passionate about dogs of all kinds and the best day of Charlotte’s life (aside from her wedding and children’s birth days!) was when her and her family brought home their rescue puppy, a chocolate Labrador mix named Phoebe.
​
In her spare time, Charlotte is also a busy mom to her children, as well as a mom to Fifa the cat, Flopsey the rabbit and a flock chickens.

Dog Groomer Trainee
Sarah Maschke
Animals have always played an important role in Sarah's life, both personally and professionally. With over ten years experience working as a Veterinarian Assistant and other animal care fields, she is ready to dive deep and take the next step to become a groomer.
​
With a BA in Environmental Studies, with a focus on endangered species and impact assessment, from Carleton University, Sarah always felt she wanted to be involved in the animal field and she is making her dreams come true.
In her spare time, Sarah is also a busy mom and lives on a small hobby farm with her family.
