About Us

As a Certified Dog Groomer and Owner of Barks and Bubbles Mobile Pet Salon in Sonoma County, Stephanie moved to Sonoma County as a toddler and grew up in rural Santa Rosa on farms with domestic and exotic pets.  Some of her first canine pets included an Afghan, Giant Schnauzers, Rottweilers, Samoyeds, and various Spaniels.  Later, there were German Shepherds, a Doberman Pinscher, and more Schnauzers!  After graduating from San Jose State University, she worked in Staffing and Human Resources.  For the last several years, Stephanie has focused her attention on being proud Mom of the most beautiful tri-colored 13-inch, Beagle named Annie, and recently adopted a Miniature Schnauzer named Max!

Stephanie is a Member of the American Mobile Groomers Association and received a Certificate for completion of a 600-hour Professional Groomer Course from Madeline's Institute of Pet Grooming in Santa Clara, California, in May 2007.  She keeps current on grooming trends via professional magazines, online groups, and by attending seminars, trade shows, and dog shows throughout the year.
