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.

Lynn
Lynn has been working at Jimminy Clippers since 2000, and brings 19 years of grooming experience. She graduated from the Midwest School of Dog Grooming in Chicago in 1987. She then spent 12 years at two other grooming shops before coming to Jimminy Clippers.



Mandy Meersman
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.

Tamara Johnsen
I'm 17 years old and a senior at Lake Zurich High School. I am a camp counselor during the summer, and fill in as a back up bather at Jimminy Clippers. In the fall of 2006 I will take over Mandy's position when she leaves for school.I am a member of the Foxcreek Stables show team and the President of the Interact club, a community service group at my school. I have an English Springer Spaniel named Chief, and I love animals. I'm still deciding on my plans after high school, but for now I keep myself busy working, riding horses, and spending time with my friends.
