It goes without saying that it has been quite an eventful year for all of us thus far, but I believe there is no better time in New Orleans than those first few warm days of spring when the Japanese magnolias, azaleas, and camellias start blooming. Some of your favorite places may have closed permanently [...]
In addition to having some cases of canine cough at Pawlins, we have also heard through the local pet community that it has been identified at dog parks and parks, and that local veterinary clinics have also reported an uptick in cases. But, all of our dogs are vaccinated for canine cough with the Bordetella [...]

Time to State The Obvious: It’s Hurricane Season! We are now well into hurricane season with a direct hit by Cristobal. Growing up in New Orleans, I have seen my fair share of tropical storms and hurricanes and learned so much while going through Katrina. One of the most important things I’ve learned is that [...]
SEPARATION ANXIETY AND COVID-19 Everyone’s world has changed and so have their dog’s. Although it seems like the dogs have the best of it by having everyone home with them 24/7, naturally, it will become something they come to expect and they may have a hard time adapting to their previously quiet days when everyone [...]

Hi, I’m Michelle, and I’ve been professionally grooming since August 2015. My heart beats a little faster for water retrievers and those gorgeous curly coats, with a special fondness for Standard Poodles. I also love getting creative with fun haircuts and even safe color applications! What’s truly rewarding for me is working with dogs who might be a little nervous about grooming. I team up with both the pets and their owners to build positive experiences, helping dogs feel safe and maybe even learn to enjoy their pampering sessions!
Hi, I’m Leonard. My journey in the pet world began way back in 1997, and I’ve been a professional pet groomer and show dog handler ever since! My experience is pretty diverse, from the exciting world of dog shows (specializing in terriers and herding breeds) to working in corporate salons, cozy boutiques, and even veterinary hospitals and boarding/training facilities. I even had my own mobile grooming business! My goal is always to make grooming as stress-free as possible for your beloved pets. Patience, trust, and understanding a dog’s body language are essential in my book. I focus on quality over rushing, ensuring each grooming session is thorough and tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I’m excited to meet your furry companions and give them the dedicated attention they deserve.
Hi, I’m Keri, and my journey in the wonderful world of pet grooming began in 2011. Starting as a bather and blossoming into a groomer two years later, my love for animals has always been my guiding star. I’ve been with Pawlins since the very beginning, and I’m proud to be part of a team that feels like family. I’ve been close friends with fellow groomers Ashley and Andre for over a decade, and working alongside them makes every day even more special. I treat every single pet who comes into my care as if they were my own, showering them with the same love and attention I give my own furry family. Your pup’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority!
Hello, I’m Casy, and with 27 years of grooming experience under my belt, you could say it’s more than just a job – it’s a true passion! Even on challenging days, seeing a pup strut out looking their best makes it all worthwhile. I’m a firm believer that a fantastic groom starts with a thorough bath and blow dry, and I take my time to ensure every pet receives the care they deserve. Schnauzers and Pomeranians hold a special place in my heart! Clear communication with pet parents is key for me – I want to understand exactly what you’re looking for and will always take the time to discuss everything to ensure we’re on the same page. Some coats and temperaments need a little extra time, and I’m always happy to provide the individual attention needed for top-notch results.
Hey there, I’m Ashley! My deep love for animals has been a lifelong passion, and I knew early on that I wanted to spend my days making them feel their best. I’ve been professionally grooming since March 2012 (and in the industry since August 2011!). While I enjoy working with all breeds, I have a special soft spot for the little guys and those gorgeous curly coats. I’m always eager to learn new techniques and love finding inspiration from around the globe to give each pet a little extra flair! Got a question? Don’t hesitate to ask – I’m here to help and can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them the TLC they deserve!
Hi, I’m Ansley! I’ve been grooming for two years, and I especially enjoy working my magic on Shih Tzus and Doodles. My focus is on bringing out the best in every dog, and I love creating those clean, short faces that keep them comfy and looking sharp! Building a bond with each dog I groom is one of my favorite parts of the job – making sure they feel at ease is so important to me. My love for animals shines through in my work, and I can’t wait to meet your precious pup!
Hey everyone, I’m Andre, and I’m the Grooming Manager here at Pawlins! My grooming journey started back in 2011, and I’ve had the privilege of growing from a bather to a groomer and now leading this fantastic team. Schnauzers and other terrier breeds have a special place in my heart. Grooming isn’t just a job for me; it’s a deep passion that started during my college years. Since starting at Pawlins, I’ve gotten married and become a proud dad—it’s been a beautiful journey, both personally and professionally. Those life changes have only deepened my appreciation for the responsibility I have when caring for your pets. My own dog and two cats are like my kids! While I always strive to meet your expectations, my top priority will always be what’s best for the pups in our care.
