Meet Zakayla, MGBS

Hi, I am Zakayla Riley, owner and lead groomer at Pawpin' Pawz and I am honored that you have chosen us to give our love and care to your pet! I am a 2021 graduate of Northern Kentucky University where I received my Bachelor's of Social Work Degree as well as a graduate of The Mortar Entrepreneurship Academy. I began my grooming career amidst COVID-19 back in 2020 at Pet Supplies Plus, where I attended Paragon Pet Grooming School. I realized early on that the corporate grooming environment was very fast-paced and sometimes stressful for both the animals and the employees. Therefore, I decided to step it up, but slow it down by opening my own grooming salon, Pawpin' Pawz Luxury Mobile Grooming! By offering in home grooming, we are able to keep stress low and relaxation high.

I have two dogs of my own that keep me on my toes, Benji the Miniature Schnauzer and Shadow the Giant Schnauzer! I have always loved being with and caring for animals but it wasn't until I began cutting Benji's hair that I found my passion for making dogs look and feel their best. I have since competed in multiple shows, participated in various community service initiatives, and most off all I continue to further my knowledge so that we are always providing you and your pets with top quality care!
