Dorine & Diego - Owner/ Master Pet Stylist

My name is Dorine, and I am a Certified Master Pet Stylist with over 30 years of professional experience in dog & cat grooming. I have had a deep love for animals since childhood; at the age of eight I began bathing and walking dogs in my neighborhood, and by the time I turned twelve I was doing odd jobs for my favorite pet shop to earn credit to purchase a bird.

Animals are a huge part of my life, and I truly appreciate having the opportunity to work with them each day. In addition to my 27 years of pet grooming experience, I have also spent more than 14 years working as a grooming instructor. I love my career, and I enjoy being able to teach others how to properly groom pets. Schooling is an important part of becoming a pet groomer, and I am proud of the fact that I have completed the strenuous advanced training required to earn the certification of Master Pet Stylist.

I opened Pet Makeovers, LLC, my home-based pet grooming salon in Mesa, AZ, in order to share my years of grooming expertise with pet parents of the East Valley. I understand that a pet really does become a member of your family, and I believe in giving each one of my furry clients the same attention and affection that they receive at home. My goal is to remove the stress that a dog or cat may associate with grooming by providing a comfortable environment, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement.

Meaghan & Gus, Darla, and Mooschu -Groomer

Hi there!

I’m Meaghan, and I’ve been grooming for almost 15 years now. I really love working with senior dogs and cats, especially those who are a bit nervous about grooming. Helping them feel comfortable and confident brings me so much joy.

I’m also a proud dog mom to two pups, Darla and Gus, who often hang out at the shop. At home, I have an elderly cat named Mooschu who keeps things interesting. When I’m not grooming, I enjoy traveling and discovering the beauty of new places.

I recently moved to Arizona and feel so lucky to have found Pet Makeovers. It’s such a warm and welcoming place, filled with people who genuinely care about pets and their well-being.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Gracie and Roxie - Apprentice Groomer

Hi, I’m Gracie! Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember, and getting to work with them every day is truly a dream come true. I’m thrilled to be training here and learning everything I can about professional grooming. Helping pets look and feel their best is incredibly rewarding, and I love making each grooming experience as comfortable and positive as possible.
At home, I have the sweetest dog, Roxie, and two wonderful cats, Poe and Lola, who keep me entertained. When I’m not at work, you can usually find me curled up with a good book or exploring new places on road trips with my husband.
Helping pets stay clean, comfortable, and happy is my passion, and I’m so excited to be on this journey. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends!

Brooklyn Vance- Bather

I’m passionate about animals and currently studying veterinary medicine with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. I love working with animals and helping them feel happy, healthy, and cared for. Growing up on a ranch surrounded by lots of animals gave me a deep appreciation for animal care from a young age. When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy spending time with my family. I’m so excited to be working here!

I'm Jessie. I enjoy art, games, sports, but most of all Animals. I can't imagine life without them. I've been a pet sitter, and bather in the past. I've also worked with reptiles. My life revolves around Animals.
