Ginger

Hi, I’m Ginger, the salon manager here at Waggerstown, and I truly can’t imagine doing anything else. Originally from Georgia, I moved to Maine about 12 years ago. After the unexpected loss of my beloved dog, I was drawn to a career that would keep me close to animals. That journey led me to grooming, and I’ve been in love with it ever since.

Never in a million years did I think I’d be grooming dogs by the beach in beautiful Wells, Maine. It’s truly a dream come true.

As a groomer, I’m passionate about teaching and mentoring others, as well as creative grooming and Asian fusion styles. I especially enjoy detailed, technical haircuts that require precision and patience. I have a soft spot for puppies and misunderstood dogs, and I find so much joy in helping them feel safe, confident, and cared for. I’m also deeply committed to continuing education and regularly connect with industry leaders to grow my skills and stay inspired.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me outdoors, hiking, fishing, or enjoying the lake or beach with my Pit mix, Scooter.

I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built at Waggerstown. Their dedication and talent are a direct reflection of the high standards I value, and it’s an honor to lead and support them every day.

Haylie

Hello! I’m Haylie. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. My first ever job was working as a receptionist at a grooming salon and I was always in awe of the work that was done there.

After growing up and going through college, I found my way back to the salon as a groomer. Working in the grooming industry gives me the perfect opportunity to combine my passion for animals with my creative side. Whether I’m giving a pup a fresh, clean look or adding some personality with a fun cut, I always aim to make each dog feel comfortable, cared for, and confident like they’re my own.

I believe grooming should be a positive experience, so I focus on building trust with every dog that comes through the door. No two dogs are the same, and that’s what I love most—every day brings a new personality, a new challenge, and a new chance to help a dog look and feel their best!

Hanna

Hi! I’m Hanna, and I’ve been a professional dog groomer for 2 years. After graduating college, I knew I wanted a career I’d truly enjoy and something I could look forward to every day. That’s when I found grooming. I started as a bather and apprenticed under Ginger, learning from the best and discovering a real passion for this work.

I absolutely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and forming special bonds with both pets and their people. It’s so rewarding to help dogs look and feel their best, and I take pride in making every grooming session a positive and comfortable experience.

I was born and raised in York, and when I’m not at the salon, you can usually find me spending time with my friends and family. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

Susan

My name is Susan and I have been professionally grooming for about 10 years. I graduated from A Plus Pet Grooming Academy and my first job as a groomer was at Dog’s Paradise in Detroit, Maine. I loved working with Melissa (owner) and while school had taught me the technique and artistry, not only did she help me refine those skills, but she also showed me how to work with the dogs that really didn’t want to be getting a haircut.

While I was there, I had my three children, and after the third was born, my husband and I decided we wanted to be closer to our family in Southern Maine. We moved to Kennebunk and I stayed home to raise my girls for a few years. I have been here at Waggerstown for about 2 years now and I absolutely love the team here. I have met so many nice dogs and their people, many who feel like family.

At home I have a miniature dachshund named Diglett and he is my bestest buddy. I love to take him on hikes in the summer and to the beach in the evenings. He is also a fabulous napping companion. Additionally, my family and I foster dogs from the AWS regularly. Dogs are my passion and keeping them as comfortable and happy as possible while taking care of them is my goal. Whether they are happy to be there, nervous, or downright scared, I will do my very best to make their appointment a pleasant experience.

There is no better feeling than when you witness a dog making significant behavior progress. I feel like a proud mama. Ultimately, the best grooming ends with the client looking AND feeling good.

About me!

I’m a mama to 3 dogs; Toby~Husky mix, Mako~German Shepherd, & Bella~ Pit mix. 1 cat; Dunn. 2 guinea pigs; Chester & Dexter & Frost the snake!

I've been grooming dogs for over 3 years and a Vet Tech for over a year! I fell in love with grooming and absolutely love grooming large fluffy dog breeds, like Bernese Mountain dogs, huskies, German Shepherd’s, border collies and more!

As a child, I had a Golden Retriever named Chase and we shared the same birthday! I've always grown up with many animals which led me to want to work with them and make bandanas and other accessories!

Kira

Hi, I'm Kira! I've been part of the Waggerstown family since December 2022, working in our Pet Supply Store and, more recently, expanding my love for animals into our Grooming Salon!

I've been grooming for over a year and had the wonderful opportunity to train under our amazing Grooming Manager, Ginger. I especially enjoy working with dogs who need a refreshing bath and a thorough brush-out, from short-haired pups to lovable Golden Retrievers and other furry friends.

One of my favorite parts of grooming is getting to know each dog's unique personality and helping them leave feeling clean, comfortable, and loved. I'm always excited to meet new four-legged friends!

You'll also find me helping customers in our Pet Supply Store, where I've enjoyed spending nearly four years getting to know our wonderful Waggerstown community.

When I'm not surrounded by wagging tails, I'm busy hitting the books! I'm pursuing my master's degree with the goal of becoming a teacher. Whether I'm caring for animals, helping customers, or preparing for a future classroom, I love opportunities to learn, grow, and make a difference.

Whether I'm helping you find something special for your pet or giving your pup a little extra TLC in the salon, I look forward to seeing you!

Sydney

Hi, I’m Sydney! 🐾

I joined Waggerstown in late summer 2026 with a passion for helping pets live healthier, happier lives. I love all animals, especially bully breeds, and rescue dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m a proud mom to four rescued dogs and a bunny, and I also foster and volunteer with local rescues.

Being a pet parent has shaped my interest in nutrition, as my own dogs have unique needs ranging from food sensitivities to picky eating. These experiences have inspired me to research ingredients, explore different foods, and learn how proper nutrition can support each pet’s overall health. I believe every pet is different, and finding the right fit starts with understanding their individual needs.

I love putting that knowledge to use by helping other pet parents find the best options for their furry family members. Whether you’re looking for food, treats, supplements, or guidance on supporting your pet’s well-being, I’m happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets at Waggerstown!
