Kaitlin Hines

Lead Pet Stylist/Owner

With nearly five years experience in the pet care industry, Kaitlin began working in the kennel and bathing pets at a grooming salon that also provided boarding and day camp services. The exposure and variety of experiences she gained from that position cemented her love and passion for working with and caring for dogs.

Kaitlin began expanding her own skills and education by learning how to groom and working toward grooming certifications. She graduated through Paragon School of Pet Grooming, a highly regarded school in the grooming industry. Kaitlin is a member of the National Dog Groomers Association of America (NDGA) and the American Kennel Club (AKC), working towards several certifications. She recently competed at a grooming trade show, Groom’d, in Atlanta where she earned the “Best First-Timer” award and completed her Sporting grooming certificate through NDGA.

In addition to quality grooming, Kaitlin focuses on the safety and comfort of her clients. She received CPR and first aid certification through PetTech. Through all services offered, Kaitlin strives to provide an excellent experience for each dog and pet parent.

Within the next five years, Kaitlin plans to complete certifications through the NGA and AKC. Continuing her education, staying up-to-date on industry trends, and competing at trade shows will allow her to provide excellent services to all of her clients.

When Kaitlin is not grooming, she loves to explore and hike around NC with her husband and two standard poodles, Nori and Ren.

It is our mission at The Standard Mobile Groomer to set ‘The Standard’ of mobile grooming, by providing dogs a calm and safe environment with a luxurious spa treatment.
