dogs. We don’t just hire people who like dogs we hire people who understand them.
LAUREN HOLTEN
HEAD GROOMER Lauren has been grooming professionally since 2022
and has quickly established herself as a highly skilled groomer through a strong commitment to
continuous learning and professional development. In 2025, she began competing in grooming
competitions with immediate success, achieving 1st place in Open Handstripping with her
Miniature Schnauzer, Nigel, and 2nd place in Champion Handstripping at Madra Mania,
Ireland’s largest grooming competition. That same year, she was nominated for Up and Coming
Groomer of the Year at the Celtic Coat Awards — a significant milestone early in her career.
Lauren specialises in terriers and handstripping, with experience preparing dogs for the show
ring. She regularly works with Kerry Blue Terriers, Wire Fox Terriers, Miniature Schnauzers, and
Cocker Spaniels, and has also been invited to groom Kerry Blue Terriers at Crufts. As Head
Groomer at Zoomies, Lauren brings exceptional technical expertise, competitive experience,
and a calm, professional approach to every groom — ensuring each dog receives the highest
standard of care in a positive, reassuring environment.

KATELYN GRANT
DOG GROOMER Katelyn’s journey into dog grooming began with a deep
passion for animal care and welfare. She holds a QQI Level 5 qualification in Animal Care and
has completed a professional dog grooming qualification, giving her a strong foundation in
canine health, safe handling, and modern grooming techniques. Katelyn has gained hands-on
experience working with a wide range of breeds and coat types and is known for her attention to
detail and ability to deliver tidy, well-balanced grooms tailored to each dog’s individual needs.
She strongly believes that how a dog feels during their groom is just as important as the final
result. Her calm, gentle approach helps dogs feel safe, relaxed, and understood — particularly
those that are nervous or sensitive.
