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.
