Grooming Crüe
ANNIE
more about annie
Hi! My name is Annie and I’m the owner/lead groomer of the Crüe! I got my start in 2000 (surprising since I’m only 29… wink, wink!) and even after all this time there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t love my job! I am definitely known for my doodle and hand scissor cuts but love to do pattern cuts like Airdales, Schnauzers and Kerry Blues. Grooming is an incredible trade; it takes skill, a good eye for balance, patience, an artistic flare but the best part for me is that I get to spend my days with the dogs I love and it’s different every day and even after almost 19 years I’m still learning and honing my skills! |
LAURAH
more about laurah
Hello, I’m Laurah! I started grooming in 2008 and have been grooming with Muttley Crüe since 2016 when I first arrived in Calgary and I love the team I work with. It’s hard to pin point exactly why I began grooming. I come from an artistic background and have been obsessed with dogs since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Those two interests generally marry together in the grooming world and I took advantage of an opportunity to learn when I was back home in Ontario. Though I have gained quite the reputation for my doodle clips, I also love working with poodles and terrier breeds. No matter who I am grooming, I am known for taking my time... (they don't call me Slow-Poke Cerilli for nothing!) so it's important for me to take the time I feel necessary to work with your little pal’s needs and making them look fantastic. |

MORE ABOUT CHELSIE
Hi my name is Chelsie! I’ve been grooming for the last 6 years. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Even at a very young age I always told my parents I wanted to be a dog when I grew up (the proof is in my kindergarten yearbook!!). With my love for dogs and a mother as a hairdresser, grooming came very natural to me. I love grooming double coated breeds and scissoring teddy bear cuts. I absolutely love making the pups look as cute as possible because they are family after all!! |
SALINA
MORE ABOUT SALINA
Hey, my name is Salina! I’ve been in Calgary for over 5 years now, where over half of that time I have started to emerge myself in the world of dogs and I haven’t looked back since!! I have owned and loved animals my whole life, my most loved one being my 16 year old Jack Russell, Blaze, whom I’ve had since he was 3 months and is still going strong! Though most would call me a strange one, I’m sure that can be validated by the fact that I rode a bicycle across Canada to get here. This is by far the most rewarding job I have and will ever have as I am planning to continue my growth under the wing of the best groomer I know, Annie Cole! I plan to continue to be apart of the Crüe for many years to come! |

I started working at Muttley in 2016 and I've never looked back. Here, I met the worlds best boss, so many wonderful clients and their adorable fur babies. I also met the love of my life, Oreo. All of these things have shaped who I am and my love for animals of all kinds. Especially those less likely to be loved like senior dogs and those with special needs. I love being there for dogs who otherwise would have to spend their days at home with no one to snuggle or play with. I love making sure they are safe and happy. Muttley Crüe is amazing and I am so grateful for what we do here. HOLLY W.

Hi, I'm Holly! I'm 21, an artist, and the best doggy snuggler in the world! When I can't be with my own dogs, hanging out with all my four legged friends at Muttley Crüe is the best. I'm mostly with the dogs overnight, making sure they are getting a good sleep so they can be happy to play all day! Providing my love and care for your pets is an honour and brings so much joy to my life. In the future I hope to work with rescues so I can help dogs who need it and show my love to those who have never seen any. I hope to see your best friend at Muttley Crüe soon so we can play! ♥️ JULIA

I have always had a strong love for animals. I grew up around dogs and cats and they have always been a big part of my life. My love and passion for animals is why I work at Muttley. Working here has been an amazing experience. Taking care of pups is super rewarding for me and I love going to work every day ! Seeing happy puppies and happy owners always puts a smile on my face. My favourite part of the job is getting smothered with kisses and getting to know each of the dogs who all have unique personalities. |

Muttley Crüe became my home away from home in August of 2017! It has been an amazing journey! I love my job, waking up everyday and getting ready to come to this pawfect place it is hard to have a bad day when you're surrounded by amazing people and all these amazing dogs. Going home at the end of the day to my young daughter and sharing all the pictures we take for our Instagram post and our daily muttdate reports with her! To me its reinforcing how important it is to love , be kind and cherish animals. We both really love dogs!! She loves hearing about my day and giggles at some of the unique names our clients give their fur babies! We have a black lab X named Moe and two kitty's Broccoli and Prince Midnight Jimmy. My love for animals started at a very young age. Growing up on the farm I was surrounded by critters of all shapes and sizes! Horses, pig chickens , cows, cats and of course dogs!! Working at Muttley Crüe has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I have the most amazing coworkers and and even more amazing boss. This place might just be heaven on earth. JAKE

What I love most about animals and dogs in particular is their ability to remind us how important love and friendship is in our lives. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own lives and our own stories that it becomes overwhelming. It’s pretty awesome working at Muttley Crüe, not many people get to come into work and be reminded of the positive things in life. LINDZIE

In the summer of 2018 I became a member at muttley Crüe and since than it has become my second family full of precious pups and friends that can make you laugh when you don’t even want to crack a smile! Muttley Crüe has made it so I can finally, for the first time in my life, say that I love coming into work and enjoy every moment of being here. This place has been one of the best experiences in my life with all the great tools I am learning, the friendships, and just being able to work with dogs for a living, and the funny thing is that it doesn’t even feel like work because I am doing what I love! I look forward to making many more memories here and enjoying this experience for a long time. EMILY

more about KATIE
Hello! My name is Katie and I have worked here at Muttley since August 2017. I have worked taking care of exotic cold blooded animals, children, and eventually dogs since 2008 and I have definitely found my calling as a care giver! I am working on becoming certified as a positive reinforcement trainer to bring something extra to my work with dogs here as well. I have a huge soft spot for misunderstood and anxious dogs, and thanks to Annie and AARCS, I met my best friend working here. My dog Kurt was fostered here at the facility and adopted out, but was brought back 6 months later due to anxiety. For a while it looked like he may not find his forever home. However he worked his way into my heart and I simply couldn't let him be alone anymore. I started by fostering him and within 2 weeks he was my dog officially! I love the work we do here, especially when we can help dogs find their forever homes and make lifelong friends here. Meeting new dogs and making them part of the family here is the best feeling in the world. I have never loved a job as much as working here, and I hope to be here for a long time to come! MAKHAILA

Since I was a child owning my first pet, I have loved animals with all my heart. I would pet every single dog I would see and begged to bring them all home with me. I now have four dogs of my own at home and still feel the need to stop and say hello to every furry friend I meet. I also benefit from working with our clients as I have an anxiety disorder, the genuine and unconditional love that each dog gives helps me more than anything else. When I started working at a doggy daycare it was a dream come true! I am excited everyday to do my job, which is loving the dogs I work with. Muttley Crüe is such an amazing company of close knit, dedicated people, I am proud and excited every time I tell someone what I do for a living. BETH

I started working at Muttley Crüe in July of 2016. I have always loved animals so getting to work with dogs is a dream come true. After a year of working here I finally got a dog of my own, a Shiba Inu named Yuki. He loves coming to work with me and playing with the other dogs and staff. I work the overnight shift and I love getting to snuggle the dogs and tuck them into bed after a long day of playing. I couldn’t ask for a better place to work. :) TANEA

Becoming part of the team here at Muttley Crüe has been an eye-opening experience for me. Even being a dog lover my entire life, I never imagined getting to work with dogs daily could be as rewarding as it is! Now I know I couldn’t see myself doing anything else. I learn something new every day about this crazy, affectionate, and intelligent species and it makes me so happy to come in to work, which is something I feel very grateful to be able to say. Each dog’s personality is so unique and fun, making them a gratifying and worthwhile challenge to get to know! It’s amazing to me how much love they have to share with us lucky humans, and there’s nothing more heartwarming than seeing them thrive when given the treatment they deserve. |

My love of animals started at a young age growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and fish animals were always a big part of my life. I love that animals do not judge you but treat you like a best friend and a always excited and happy to see you. And that during those hard days animals are always there for you and know how to brighten your day.

Being a part of the rescue is such and big and important part of my life and it allows me to help change the lives of so many animals in need.you and know how to brighten your day.

I've always loved animals! I have a dog of my own that I rescued and got to watch grow into the spunky, fun girls she is! Adopting her made me realize how incredible these animals are so I knew that working with them was something I wanted to do. I've worked at Muttley Crüe for over two years and I love that I get to spend my days working with these beautiful little guys! |
