Meet Our Groomer

Kristen Pedelty has always known she wanted to work with animals. That became a reality in 2014 when she started working for a local animal shelter. While working there she learned patience, love and compassion towards all pets. She started grooming in 2021 and instantly fell in love with making pets look good while putting their comfort and safety first.
Kristen lives in Mason City with her husband and son, their 3 dogs, and one cat. In her free time she enjoys bird watching, being in nature, reading, and spending time with family. Kristen is looking forward to building new bonds with clients and their pets.
