A DOG'S LIFE
Shannon Guinn
GROOMER
My name is Shannon Guinn. I have been a groomer for over 8 years. My experience ranges from working in large salons, small salons to veterinary clinics. I have always had a passion for animals and being able to reflect that passion onto the dogs I groom, is a dream come true. I strive to make every grooming experience as stress free as as possible by using training and patience. Building trust with your pet is my number one goal. I currently have a Yorkie mix named Taz. Taz loves to come to work with mom and make new friends, but he'll always be mom's best friend.
Karen Lee
GROOMER
My name is Karen Lee. I have been grooming dogs for around 15 years. The majority of my experience has been in a busy, fast paced salon. I take pride in working with your fur baby to build trust and a great relationship. I will ensure that every fur baby gets the haircut their human wants. I love working with dogs and can't imagine doing anything else.
Val Sargeant
GROOMER
My name is Val Sargeant. I have been grooming for a little more than two years and I love it! I worked as a dog trainer for a pet hotel and quickly fell in love with working with pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I love doing fancy haircuts and I adore grooming poodles and doodles. I am also working on doing show cuts and grooming cats. I hope I can be your fur baby's new bff.
Jessica Stritecky
GROOMER
My name is Jessica Stritecky I have been grooming dogs for 14 years. I worked my way up from a bather to a groomer in 2007. I have had the opportunity to learn from many talented groomers over the years and know the importance of making sure that your pet is as comfortable as possible during the process. Having a relationship with my client and their dog is important to me. I take pride in attention to details of your dog's overall health and grooming needs. I love all breeds and sizes and each of their personalities. I have a German Shepard named Delilah and a mixed breed named Miss Lucy. They are the light of my life and they remind why I love this profession so much. My passion for animals started at a young age and has continued to grow. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member.
Jared Morgan
OWNER/MANAGER
My name is Jared Morgan. I have always loved dogs, and have been surrounded by many different breeds and sizes throughout my life. When I get together with friends, there are often more dogs than people present. For many years, I worked in the automotive industry painting vehicles, until I inherited my princess shih tzu, Charity. She had not been groomed for months and was just hot and uncomfortable. I made it my mission to learn how to groom her and it changed my life. I have been a professional dog groomer for more than 10 years now. In 2025 I made the hard decision to step away from grooming and concentrate on managing my talented team. It is still my goal to make every grooming experience wonderful for every dog. I will continue to make sure my team is patient and kind to your young puppy and gentle and caring with your senior dog.
Lani Morgan
OWNER/RECEPTIONIST
My name is Lani Morgan. I have been working for A Dog's Life, behind the scenes, since my husband, Jared Morgan, started this business, in our garage, in 2019. I took over the receptionist duties in 2023 and it has been such a pleasure getting to know all of our fur clients and their "paw"rents. When I was a child, my parents wouldn't let me have a dog, so I would feed and play with stray dogs and cats. I will always do my best to make your fur baby feel safe and loved, and to make you feel heard and valued.
