Staff
Cathy Hartley
I am the owner of Jimminy Clippers. I am proud to be an internationally Certified Master Groomer, the highest attainable skill level in my field. I like to stay on top of the latest trends in order to provide you with the best quality and styles. I encourage my staff to set goals and work hard to achieve them. I have 28 years of experience in pet grooming, and was only 21 when I took the big leap into self-employment! I've dedicated myself to providing an impeccably clean working environment with state of the art equipment for my employees, as well as a fun "in the mood" call office for my clients. I currently own two dogs, three cats, and four miniature horses.
Ashley Waters
I am twenty years old. I graduated from the Arlington
Heights Academy of Dog Grooming. My family and I have four dogs--two labs, a flat coat retriever, and a cute little bichon that we found wandering on a street and rescued last winter. I have been training dogs since I was eleven and have fun taking my dogs to obedience shows. I love working with dogs and hope to some day have a kennel with my family.
Nick Waters

Heights Academy of Dog Grooming Arts and I enjoy being able to work with animals. I have a black lab that I compete with in obedience shows and I also volunteer, along with my sister, Ashley, and the rest of my family, to train both boxers and bull terriers that are trying
to find homes at the Boxer Rebound rescue.

I'm 20 years old. I will be attending Illinois State University in 2006 as a junior. I intend on majoring in Biology and hopefully
work with animals as part of my career. I've been working at Foxcreek Stables for four years and have been part of the show team
for two. I started working at Jimminy Clippers in January of 2005 as the main bather. I have a dog, Lucy, a cat, Oliver, and a horse,
Jordan, all of which keep me very busy. Although I will be leaving for school this coming fall I plan on returning to help whenever needed.

Stables show team and the President of the Interact club, a community service group at my school. I have an English Springer Spaniel

and spending time with my friends.
