Katarina and her dog, Remi

Remi & Betty




Katarina
Hello! My name is Katarina and I am from Serbia. I moved to Miami with my son, Stefan and husband, Mladen in March 2023. I have been a big dog lover my entire life. My mother always says that the love started when I was still in her belly because she would carry our German Shepherd puppy with her everywhere she went.
​
Now I am proud to say that I’m raising another animal lover, my son! We sometimes “argue” who loves our dog, Remi , the most! I have always dreamed of working with dogs so in 2018. I decided to start learning how to groom and finally found my true calling! When I moved to United States I decided to enroll into grooming school, to get a chance to learn more and grow as a professional dog groomer.
​
Now, as a Groomer and Social Director, I am thrilled to be a part of Pete & Izzie's Social Club, where I have the priveledge to give amazing and adorable doggies a nice spa day... and make their parents happy, I am so lucky I get to hang out, play with them, give and recieve a lot of hugs, kisses and love, whether they come for their groom or to socialize. My friends and family, knowing my passion for dogs, say that I have found a dream job and I couldn’t agree with them more!

Hi! I'm Christina and I'm from Fort Lauderdale. Grooming isn’t just about baths and haircuts; it’s about understanding each dog’s personality, making them feel safe, and sending them home happy and healthy. Being a groomer has allowed me to turn something I truly enjoy into meaningful work, while building relationships with both pets and the people who love them. Thanks for allowing me to take care of your fuzzy baby’s!
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. When I was young, I was always bringing home stray animals and trying to hide them from my mom because I just wanted to help and care for them. That passion stayed with me as I grew older and eventually turned into a career in dog grooming. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working with all kinds of dogs, focusing on their comfort, safety, and making sure they look and feel their best.

Beth
Hi there, I'm Beth and I'm the founder and owner of Pete & Izzie's. I live in Oakland Park with my husband, Wes. For the past 16 years while working in sales, I have dreamed of finding a job that I could "just hang out with dogs all day." In March 2020, I was given the opportunity to re-evaluate my career (and my life) and built up the courage to pursue a life dream of becoming a professional dog lover and business owner.
​
As if the stars aligned, my current groomer and kindred spirit was looking to enrich her business by offering a groomer apprenticeship program. After completing my Pet Grooming Certification and an intensive 10-month (1560 hour) apprentice program, my passion for dogs, and being the front line to their well-being, has been awakened. The fulfillment received from being surrounded by dogs every day has nourished and challenged my soul in more ways than I could have ever imagined. I can't wait to continue my grooming journey with you!
​
Being a dog mom, I understand the importance of finding a safe, patient and loving groomer. Grooming experiences (good & bad) follow your dog throughout his or her lifetime. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to provide a thoughtful grooming service that is stress free, fun and as joyful as possible for your pup. Secretly, I also enjoy all the extra dog snuggles.
who are Pete & Izzie?
Well, of course, they are my dogs and they deserve their very own social club!
Izzie, my sweet baby Maltese, exponentially made my life better in 2009 when my co-workers' dogs had puppies. From a single girl in Denver to a married gal in Florida, she has been my partner-in-crime and best mate through it all. She loves treats, going on vacation with her mom & dad and napping on big fluffy pillows.
​
Peyton, or as his friends call him, Pete, joined our family in 2016. My husband and I were big fat foster failures for a local Oakland Park animal rescue. We think he is a Chihuahua-Chinese Crested Mix, but as our vet says, the only thing guaranteed is that he's 100% dog. He is our sweet little buddy, who is always down for a long walk, soaking up the sun or a good cuddle.
Sadly in 2024, both Pete & Izzie crossed the rainbow bridge. They are missed beyond measure. Their legacy lives on forever through Pete & Izzie's Social Club.
