Victoria discovered her passion for animals at a young age, during her childhood summers at her grandmother’s farm.  Over the years ahead, her love of dogs lead her to having a Rottweiler of her own, who she would often present at competitions and exhibitions.  Her beloved pet received many awards throughout Europe and Russia , during this time.

As Victoria’s love for this work grew and developed over time, she made the decision to become a Pet Handler.  She began her journey in 2003, and it was during this period of her life that she fell in love with grooming.  Victoria worked hard to learn everything she could about the industry, and received some wonderful mentorship and training.  As a result, she became a Pet Stylist.

By the time she left Latvia, and arrived in Canada in 2009, she had 5 years of experience under her belt.  Additionally, she had been involved with a security company that utilized police dogs.  Even with the arrival of her beautiful daughters, Daniella and Alyssa, Victoria maintained her skills, by offering grooming services to family and friends.

With the arrival of 2016, there began to be more time in Victoria’s world.  With both daughters in daycare, she was looking for something to sink her teeth into.  Later in 2016, she ventured to Europe, where she worked as a dog groomer assistant – having made the decision to become a Professional Groomer back in Canada.  Her time overseas enabled her to experience many unique educational opportunities, not accessible to her back home.

Victoria attended Grooming School while in Europe – and graduated from the Europe School of Dog Grooming and Handling, from the Professional Pet Stylist program.  She was honoured to receive a Red Diploma and Certificate of Excellence, as a Master Groomer.  Once back in Canada, she updated her Pet First Aid Certificate, which brings us to the present.
