Groomer
Meet Kristin Ammons:
Kristin joined Sidekicks Stay & Play. Kristin started her grooming career in 2015 and has been an integral part of the Sidekicks Stay & Play team since 2022. Her favorite breeds to work with include poodles and schnauzers of all sizes, chihuahuas, and every squish-able bully breed. In partnership with Swann Animal Clinic at Plum Creek, Kristin also grooms the patients requiring sedated grooming due to pain, aggression, and other health concerns. She loves to perform creative grooming and pet-safe dye. Kristin advocates 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.'

Do you Accept Doodles?

What is Creative Grooming and Dye?
Creative Grooming incorporates 'fun' into styling your pet's hair. Kristin is a whiz at bringing your visions to life, from head and full-body mohawks to 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.
