About Us

Hi, I am Karen Astin, owner of Karen’s Pampered Pet Resort & Salon.  I am also a certified groomer and have my own salon in my home.  I worked in the medical field for over 23 years and my parents became ill and I had to move my parents in with me to care for them.  I wanted to start my own business from home and since I have such a strong love for animals I started my own Pet Sitting & Grooming Service.  My customers and their owners are very special and want the love, care, and special attention they get here in my home and not in a kennel somewhere.  My entire family loves animals and they get more attention here than they even do at home.  I thank God for blessing my efforts to care for my parents by blessing my business as He has.

We are so busy because we offer something special no one else does that I have now added employees and their homes to the resort business.  The same care is given at every single location.  We all absolutely spoil, love, and adore your dogs!!!!

My name is Gina Stansell-Workman and everyone who knows me knows I love all animals. I am a pet sitter for Pampered Pets and in training to be a certified groomer. Since I was a little girl, our family always provided a safe place for injured or helpless animals. For me, caring for animals is a special privilege to experiencing the unconditional love of God.

A few years ago I left a job I was married to so I could stay with my parents who are both partially disabled. I have two nephews who are like my own children. My goal was to work part time enabling me to spend more time with my family. I have been substitute teaching, and I love children, but working for the school board was too stressful and draining.

I was thrilled when the opportunity came for me to learn dog grooming. After meeting Karen, the owner of Pampered Pets, I knew that God in His infinite wisdom led me here. Like me, Karen goes above and beyond just “owning” pets, she loves and values them as God’s creatures. I am grateful to be a part of grooming, loving, and caring for your animals as I would my own little “Twiggy”.

Hi, I am Linda Snedeker and I am a certified groomer.  I have had a great love for animals all my life, especially horses and dogs.  My husband and I have 2 horses and 2 dogs.  We have a son who is currently proudly serving his country in the Navy. When the time came for him to leave, I was feeling the empty nest syndrome since I had spent the last 13 years home schooling my son and being very involved in his activities.  It was about this time I learned about this wonderful opportunity to work as an assistant in the grooming salon at Pampered Pet Resort & Salon.  After working for several months, I realized I was doing something I truly loved, not just endured.  I am now a certified groomer, and am so thankful that God in His perfect timing led me to this great business with a wonderful group of Christian people who truly love their clients and have their best interest at heart.

Hi, I am Thomas Thomas, son of Karen Astin of Pampered Pet Resort.  Our entire family loves animals and they get more attention here than they even do at home.  I live next door to my parents and have the pleasure of caring for your dogs and spending quality time with them.  It is hard to let them go home at times.  I thank God for this rewarding and fun opportunity I have at times.
