Our Team
Hanna - Owner
Our owner began her journey young, working at her local grooming salon as a receptionist and bather in Denver, CO. This sparked her passion in the pet industry and since then, Hanna has worked hard on perfecting her trade and education in pet wellness and grooming. She is a registered member of the International Society of Canine Cosmetologists and the National Dog Groomers Association of America, both of which offer rigorous continued education and hold their members to a high level of ethical standards.
Hanna and her husband Derek are Colorado natives proudly raising their family in his home-town, Firestone! Family values are an important part of their lives and is the reason we are closed on weekends. Weekends have been dedicated family days since the start and as owners they would like to provide the same to our Gold Paw family.
Jenni - Salon Manager and Professional Bather
Jenni has over 18 years in the pet industry under her belt, and a long-lasting passion for animals that started at a young age. Growing up, her dad was into weight pulling and dog sledding, a sport that captured her imagination. As she went off on her own she adopted Kobie, an Alaskan Malamute who led her to her passion in pet wellness and nutrition. She is our go-to for anything pet nutrition and we are so glad to have her as part of our team. Jenni takes great care of her clientele of "bath only" dogs while helping our professional stylist bathe some of their dogs as well. She is also the reason our salon stays clean and organized and is often the first to get to our phones.
Jenni also proudly raises her family locally and can often be found with her kids at our town events enjoying the activities. Don't hesitate to say hi when you spot them!
