Kennel & Grooming Staff
Mary, Lead Groomer
Lead groomer Mary has been with Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital for 27 years and has additional experience working at other grooming shops. She helps care for pets by washing them, cleaning their ears, cutting nails, blow drying, giving haircuts, and making pets look fabulous! She also checks pets for any skin or ear abnormalities to help prevent serious health concerns from going unnoticed.
Mary loves being around animals and talking to clients about all things pet care! Mary loves her job and working with everyone here at Aloha and considers us to be one big family! Mary has a four-year-old dog named Jentezen, and two 6-year-old cats named Finn and Allie. In her free time, Mary enjoys working out, cooking, going to the beach, going on bike rides, and she loves going to church.
Kelly, Groomer
Kelly is one of our phenomenal Groomers here at Aloha Pet and Bird Hospital. She joined our kennel staff team full time in July of 2018 and has had over 22 years of experience in the animal related field. Before bringing her talents to Aloha Kelly worked for a horse and carriage company where she began developing her passions for working with animals. She has been grooming animals since 1998, and loves being able to interact with animals and helping them feel better, refreshed, and more comfortable after a groom.
Some of Kelly’s primary daily responsibilities include maintaining our amazing patients’ physical appearances by brushing and cutting fur, clipping nails, cleaning ears, bathing, drying, and styling the patient’s fur. Kelly finds it very satisfying seeing our clients’ reactions when they come to pick up their newly groomed and clean pets. “I love how pet friendly and family-oriented Aloha Pet and Bird Hospital is,” Kelly says. “It’s great how pets are able to get their specific needs met.”
Away from the hospital, Kelly likes to take her dogs to the beach or to the dog park. She owns an adorable doodle, named Charlie, and two cats, named Ragnar and Baby Ragnar.
