Grooming your best friends since 2009.

Owners of Stubby’s Dog Wash and Grooming Salon.

While both of our backgrounds are in local law enforcement, we found our true love and passion in pets! We are the proud owners of both Furry Friends Inc (a local premium pet food and supply store) and Stubby’s. We have two children and 4 dogs we love to pieces. We are both Colorado Springs natives, both born at Memorial Hospital! We LOVE our community and participate on many local non-profit boards and organizations supporting the Pikes Peak Region. Our motto has always been “Work hard and do the right thing.”

My name is Kami and I have been grooming dogs for 21 years! I attended a formal grooming academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but I have been grooming here in the Springs consistently since 2006.

When I was 8 years old all my friends were out of town for summer. I spent that lonely time training my old dog how to rollover, jump through hoops and play dead. She was my only friend. That summer, the first Petco in my town opened and my mom and I were excited to go. We ended up buying some grooming tools so I could help keep my dog clean and brushed between her regular groomings. It was that year I decided that I wanted to be a dog groomer. Not many people end up becoming what they dreamed of as a kid, but I am lucky enough to have been given that gift.

I really enjoy grooming anything that gets a teddy bear face. I also love grooming Terriers, Westies, Scotties, Schnauzers. I love and pamper all the pets who visit me, but I have a particular soft spot for our senior friends.

Grooming is not just a job for me, it is truly a passion and I am looking forward to continuing to pamper, spoil and transform local pets for many more years to come.

My name is Zoe, and I have been working with dogs in multiple capacities for the past 11 years. In fact, I have been an animal enthusiast and advocate my entire life. I love coming in to work each day as it offers me the opportunity to meet new furry friends as well as reunite with past acquaintances! I believe my strength in grooming lies in my ability to connect with animals to create a calm, loving space for them. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, camping, snowboarding, and surfing (that is, whenever I get the chance to travel to the beach). I simply love our team at Stubby’s. We are all passionate about pampering your pet!

My name is Isaac Ramirez, and I am a professional dog groomer with a deep passion for working with dogs. I began my grooming career in 2017 in El Paso, Texas, and eventually moved to Missouri to continue honing my craft. Recently, I relocated to Colorado, drawn by the vibrant dog and pet culture and the stunning beauty of the Rockies. I love what I do and am dedicated to providing the best care and grooming services for our furry friends.

🐶✨ Hey Stubby’s Fam! I’m Laken – Your New Favorite Dog Groomer! ✨🐶

I’m a certified pup pamperer with a big love for big dogs (shout-out to my two Great Danes!) and a soft spot for the seniors and anxious cuties. I’m Geriatric Dog Certified and a Certified Canine Esthetician—which is a fancy way of saying I know my stuff when it comes to skin, coats, and TLC.

Whether your dog needs a glow-up, a deshedding session, or just someone patient and gentle, I’ve got them covered. I’m so excited to be part of the Stubby’s crew and can’t wait to spoil your fur babies!

Let’s make some magic (and maybe a little mess) together! 🫧🐾✂️

Hi there! I’m a professional dog groomer with 6 years of grooming experience and over 10 years of hands-on dog handling experience. Originally from the South, I’ve recently made Colorado my new home, and I’m excited to bring a little Southern charm to every groom. I’m experienced in all breed-standard cuts and helping each pet look and feel their very best. Whether it’s a show-worthy trim or a simple spruce-up, your pup’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority.

My name is Ella! I was born and raised in Colorado Springs. My love for animals started at a very young age, as we have always had a dog or 5 in our house. I have a real passion for poodles. My pup’s name is Oliver (also known as Handsome), a poodle mix from National Mill Dog Rescue. He is the reason why I do what I do. I really look forward to working with you and your pups and sharing my extensive knowledge about pet nutrition to help your furry friends live their best life.
