Groomer
Meet Bri Isbell:
Bri is a full-time pet groomer at Sidekicks Stay & Play. Bri's passion for grooming started in 2019. She has been an integral part of the Sidekicks Stay & Play team since 2023, working in both leadership and grooming capacities. Bri's favorite breeds to work wth include poodles and poodle mixes (commonly referred to as Doodles) as their personality and coats allow for countless creative options. Most importantly, she enjoys helping dogs feel better, the satisfaction of helping pets look their best, and the relationships she forms with them and their owners. In partnership with Swann Animal Clinic at Plum Creek, Bri also grooms patients who require sedated grooming due to pain, aggression, or other health concerns. She also enjoys performing creative grooming with pet-safe dye. Bri is an advocate for the overall well-being of the pets in her care. This means she will inform you of any possible health or behavior concerns, recommend veterinary intervention for anxiety or aggression, and shave pelted coats instead of full-coat 'de-matting.'

FAQ's
Does Bri Groom Cats?
While Bri does not perform general cat grooming except on cats requiring sedated grooming, Sidekicks Stay & Play does offer bathing and limited shaving for cats once a month with another groomer. Cat nail trims can be performed Monday-Friday. Please call for information and pricing.
Do you Accept Doodles?
YES, absolutely. While it's become common practice in many shops to turn away doodles or those over a specific weight, we are proud to offer grooming for poodle mixes of all sizes. For new pets, please schedule a grooming consultation to discuss pricing, scheduling, and more.
What is Creative Grooming and Pet-Safe Dye?
Creative Grooming incorporates 'fun' into styling your pet's hair. Bri is a whiz at bringing your visions to life, from head-to-toe mohawks to bright pink bell-bottoms. Pet-safe, Vegetable-Based Dye can also be incorporated into your pet's grooming in the form of 'cutie' marks, all-over or select area patterns, specific body part highlight coloration, and more. Creative grooming requires more time. If this is a service you're interested in, please call prior to booking so we can ensure we can accommodate this service and bring your vision to life.
