As a lifelong dog lover, it only made sense to Leslie to choose a career where she could follow her passion and work with dogs. She graduated from grooming Academy in 1977 and become the 45th groomer in CA to become a National Certified Master Groomer (NCMG.) After owning a successful grooming boutique in Marin County, CA for almost 20 years, moved to Sonoma County and started a mobile grooming business in 2003. In 2019, Leslie followed her dreams, sold everything, and moved to the south of Portugal. Not quite ready for retirement, she opened a small dog hotel with grooming and daycare. Loving her life, living her dream.
