Our Approach
Our Approach
Our pets are family these days, The Wizard of Paws staff understands that and wants each pet to enjoy their spa day with individualized care. Our naturally derived products make our spa packages excellent for your pets overall health and well being. Our spa care is more than a few suds and water, it's a relaxing experience!
Our Story
Grooming goes beyond just making your pet pretty, it's part of maintaining the health and well-being of your pet. By maintaining a regular grooming schedule we are able to prevent or find skin and coat issues before they become a serious problem. Many times unhealthy skin and coat are signs of a serious underlying health issue, that if caught early can be treated easily by your veterinarian.
With that in mind The Wizard of Paws staff works with you to build a loving relationship with your pet to become part of their health care team. We are constantly learning and attending trade seminars and classes to stay ahead of the current techniques, styles and health information to offer the best that our pet profession has to offer.
Meet the Team
Sheila Cole
Owner and Senior Pet stylist
Sheila Cole is a 2008 graduate of the PetsMart grooming academy and a certified cat groomer. She is also a member of the International Pet Groomers Association (IPG) and pet CPR certified. While she loves all dogs and cats, big fluffy ones hold a special place in her heart.
Sheila's passion for animals started at an early age caring for all the family pets and often bringing home "foundlings." She started and ran her own club as a kid to raise money for the local animal shelter by selling homemade dog treats and collars. That evolved into working at an Animal Emergency Vet hospital and volunteering at the local wildlife rehabilitation center. Her goal had always been to be a veterinarian, but somewhere along that path she stumbled into the pet stylist profession and hasn't looked back since.
Will Cole
Owner & Operations Manager
The man behind the curtain. Morale officer and helps keep the business running smoothly.
Will and Sheila Cole married in 2007 while he was in the US Navy and she was just finishing up high school. He has been her number one supporter in her developing career as a Pet stylist, encouraging her when others would say "it's not a real job." With a great mind for solving technical problems Will enjoys his primary job at Optimum Energy as a project engineer and uses that mind to help improve the environment of the salon.
Casandra Thornton
Pet Stylist
Casandra has 14 years of grooming experience and joined our team the winter of 2021. She is a kind and hilarious individual who brings that warmth and joy to her work. She is pet CPR certified and is working on her professional pet stylist certifications.
She is a mother, a wife and an amazing employee! We're not quite sure how she manages it all, but are so happy to have her as part of the team.
Charlie Posten

Charlie has been in the grooming industry for about six years and has a natural knack for it. They are an exceptionally patient person and does very well with those dogs who need a little extra TLC. Charlie has also worked as a veterinarian technician and is pet CPR certified.
They are looking forward to expanding their experience with terriers and other breed patterns, but are well versed with all sorts of doodle trims.
Deborah Haney
Pet Stylist
Deborah is our pet stylist apprentice and has been in the industry for about four years now. She is certified in pet CPR. She is a kind and patient soul with a very artistic eye. She loves animals of all kinds and has quite the flock of Muscovy ducks, several goats and Kada, her livestock guardian dog.
We're very excited to see her grooming skills expand and know she is destined for great things.
Agathe Lopez
Assistant Manager
Agathe is originally from France, but has lived in the PNW for longer at this point. She is an avid animal lover, and has set her whole young life to be with animals in any way she can.
She is a woman of many talents whether it be prepping a cow for the Dairy ambassadors, trimming nails here at the salon, wrangling dogs for daycares or helping out as a vet assistant for Mercy vet, she's your lady! She has quite the passion for French bulldogs and if you visit, you will see her canine counterpart Lockett helping out at the salon.
Genevieve Gibb
Assistant Manager
Genevieve has the most contagious laugh and is always looking for that next organization project. She is a great help wherever an extra pair of hands are needed. She is pet CPR certified as well as had her own dog walking adventure business. While she is allergic to cats, she still loves giving the shop kitties some extra lovins.
She's taking a break from her actual profession of massage therapist and we're grateful to have her many years of varied experience to use as a sounding board.
