CASPER'S PET GROOMING
The Casper’s Story
“Those who have pets should love them, provide for them, and care for their needs.” -Proverbs 12:10
Hi, I’m Sandy, your all needs incorporated pet grooming guru! I’ve owned and loved animals for my entire life. In fact, when I was just 12 years old, my family had as many as six dogs at one time (one Doberman, one Schnauzer, and four Poodles). Nobody likes a dirty doggy, and as you can imagine, it got pretty expensive for my family to pay for professional groomers once a month for all six of our dogs. So, in order to save time and money, my Mom and I started to take care of our animals and their grooming needs at home. We found out that not only did we love working with these furry family members, but we were pretty darn good at it too!
As a result of this discovery, my Mom made the important decision to officially enroll in dog grooming school in 1972. There she learned the skills that are so vital to an animal’s health that cannot be provided by a simple bath at home. It is important to me that this approach and these skills are still the hallmark of Casper’s Pet Grooming to this very day. In 1976, Mom was ready to branch out and start her own grooming business. She became so busy that she eventually needed a “bather” to help with her heavy workload. Even though I was young and I would love to have been able to sleep in on the weekends, I finally decided to go to work with Mom, and since then my life has never been the same! Mom taught me all that she knew about animal care, and together we continued to hone this art while expanding our business and practice.
We officially opened Casper’s Pet Grooming in 1983 when we moved from Boulder, Colorado to sunny Phoenix, Arizona. It’s sometimes hard to imagine, but we’ve been making our four-legged friends clean and happy for almost 33 years now! During that time, we’ve moved our location a few times, and Mom is now helping me out instead of the other way around (after I officially took over the business), but the high standards and the strong work ethic that she instilled in me is the same now (and even stronger) as it was when we first set up shop. I love what I do here at Casper’s Pet Grooming, and I would love to have a chance meet with you and your pet to share my skills with your family.
