Julia (Owner/ Certified Master Pet Stylist)
Julia grew up in the Cowichan Valley and has always had a love for animals. She attended Animal Haven Grooming School in 2010 and after lots of hard work, practice and testing, managed to achieve her Master Groomer status through the CPPS (Canadian Professional Pet Stylists). She has placed in multiple grooming competitions and dabbled in conformation dog shows. Opening Julia’s Pet Spa in 2013 allowed for her to continue her passion while learning more about business, training staff, and starting a family. Due to health problems Julia has stepped back from grooming but is still actively running the business behind the scenes. She loves popping in to see her wonderful staff, loyal clients and, of course, the adorable pets!
Holly became a professional Pet Stylist in 2018 after completing the PetSmart grooming academy.
In 2022, she relocated to Vancouver Island from Saskatchewan and joined the team at Julia’s Pet Spa, where she continued to develop her skills through Julia’s mentorship.
Holly has completed certification in cat grooming and Pet First aid. She focuses on making every pets experience calm, positive, and stress-free so they can feel at-home in the salon.
Megan (Groomer)
With a background as a veterinary technician assistant, Megan completed a dog grooming apprenticeship under Julia in July 2022. Her love for animals spans back to her childhood where she grew up with horses, dogs and cats alike. Her calm demeanour and attention to detail makes the grooming experience pleasant, stress-free and positive. Megan is Pet First Aid certified and has completed cat grooming academy aswell.
Sabina (Groomer Apprentice)
Sabina moved from Ukraine to Vancouver Island in 2024 where she followed her life-long passion for animals and began her dog grooming journey.
