Hi, I'm Marisol
I groomed for nine years before opening Wag & Whisker in 2014 with two tubs and a fenced yard. The rules haven't changed: we never rush a nervous dog, we never sedate, and if your dog says no, we stop and call you.
Marisol Vega, owner and head groomer
- 12 years in Sellwood
- 14 people on the team
- 1 to 10 handlers to dogs
- 0 sedation, ever
