Hello! My name is Natalie and I was born and raised in Orange County, California. Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved being in the presence of animals.

I Grew up with many different types of pets, and today I can say that I’m truly blessed to have a career that I love, working with animals. I began pet grooming in 2008 when I was given the opportunity to work in a pet salon.

In 2017 I branched out on my own, and created Backyard Paws-where dogs (then cats) can be groomed without having to leave the comfort of home. I love making each pet look and feel their very best and I love watching their transformations from start to finish.

In 2023 I made the decision to direct my focus on cat grooming and earned the title of “Certified Feline Master Groomer” through the National Cat Groomers Institute.

My hope is to make each grooming session a peaceful experience for the cats in my care. By bringing the grooming salon to your home, your cat will avoid the stress of travel, and will enjoy a quiet, one-on-one appointment in the relaxing sanctuary of my mobile grooming studio.

Backyard Paws is Orange County’s first Certified Feline Master Groomer.
