About

Our Team

Emily Lee is a WNC native and a lifelong lover of animals. After spending many years in financial positions, Emily opened Carolina K9s Mobile Pet Spaw- a dream many years in the making. She completed the Certificate in Professional Grooming and Pet Care program at Greenville Tech in July 2017. Emily is also certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. She also holds an MBA and a Bachelor's in Management.

For each new pet, we will sit down with the owners to discuss the pet's grooming history, health issues, and lifestyle in order to fully understand what will work best for that pet. Our goal is to have a great looking (and smelling!) pet and a happy, satisfied owner after every groom.

Beth started with Carolina K9s in May 2018. Previously, she completed a grooming apprenticeship and has been grooming full time ever since. Before becoming a groomer, she was a bather in a grooming shop for 3 years. She also has several years experience at vet clinics and shelters.

Ariel began working with Carolina K9s in July 2020. Previously, she groomed for many years and also worked at a doggy daycare facility. Ariel is a highly skilled and accurate groomer, while also being extremely patient and gentle with the pups.

Lyndsey joined the team in February 2022 as our Customer Service Specialist. She helps with our non-grooming business needs such as scheduling, bookkeeping, and other customer service tasks. Lyndsey is kind and energetic and loves her dog Maddie (pictured) to pieces!

Carolina K9s is a full service pet salon on wheels. Pets are groomed one at a time and receive plenty of one-on-one time with the groomer. Benefits of mobile grooming include:

super convenient to the pet owner - you don't even have to be home (except for our initial first meeting)
less time away from your pets - most grooms can be completed in 1-2 hours
less stressful for pets - no day-long stays in a grooming shop with tons of other dogs, people, sounds, and smells. Great for shy, nervous, or elderly pets
one-on-one attention and care - your pet is handled from start to finish by one person
flexible to your pet's needs - we have the time to cater to your pet's specific needs or trouble areas, without the pressure of tons of other pets waiting to be groomed
