Sandra K.

Sandra was born in Lunenburg, N.S. and raised along Nova Scotia’s South.

Sandra has worn many hats in her career, including working as a farm-hand and in the construction industry.

Growing up in rural  communities and around farm animals of all shapes and sizes, she knew from a young age that her love of animals would lead her to a career in the pet industry.

In 2018 she started her career in this industry  as a pet bather and in 2020 she commenced training as a pet groomer.  Sandra completed her certification through ICS Canada and has been working hands-on with dogs and cats at Posh Paws Fur Cause (and its’ predecessor company Adorable Dogs) since its inception.

In her spare time, you will find Sandra working in the garden or crafting. She is an avid reader and spends a lot of time researching standard breed cuts and creative grooming techniques as well as different methods of pet styling.  She is committed to continuous learning and in 2025, she attended a hands-on training seminar working with world renowned pet stylist Blake Hernandez.

Sandra is especially skilled in grooming curly-coated breeds, such as Poodles, Doodles, Portuguese & Spanish Water Dogs along with double-coated breeds like Golden Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs. St, Bernards and Australian Shepherds.  As the owner of tea-cup Yorkies and a Shih Tzu she also has a lot of experience working with breeds that have single and drop coats.

Sandra is the proud mom of an autistic adult son and lives in Dartmouth with her husband and their three dogs Elvis, Priscilla and Birdie.

Peyman A.

Peyman A. was, born in Bandar Abbas, Iran and raised in Tehran, its’ capital city. As a student, he became very interested in the sciences and pursued an education in Applied Chemistry, after which he served two years of mandatory military service.

In 2017, Peyman began working with a veterinarian friend, who had offered to mentor Peyman in a veterinary assistant program.  Very soon thereafter, he realized he was interested in working with pets, and that’s how it all began.

While the vet clinic didn’t offer pet grooming services to the public, the veterinarian would do simple grooming tasks on his own. He taught Peyman how to use the basic tools of the grooming trade so he could take on some simple grooming tasks.  As time went on, Peyman became extremely interested in a career as a groomer and used online education to learn new styles and creative grooming.  He also volunteered his time to work with animal shelters to bathe, vaccinate and treat animals for ticks.

With time he created a style that no one in Iran was using for pet grooming and his clients would travel for miles to have him groom their pets. As his client base grew, he turned to grooming education and was training new groomers through his own mentorship program. Shortly after, Peyman opened his own grooming salon and continued to teach other students.  His reputation soon preceded him and he became a recognized figure in the pet grooming field.

In 2023, Peyman was married and he and his wife decided to migrate to Canada for a better life.  He moved to Montreal in 2024, where he worked for a few months to familiarize himself with the Canadian culture, in anticipation of his family joining him soon thereafter.  He moved to Halifax in 2024 because, after growing up in the crowded capital city of Iran, he prefers smaller, less populated cities without the hustle & bustle and grid-locked traffic.

Peyman was immediately hired by Posh Paws Fur Cause when he moved to Halifax, where he continues to learn new styles and build his customer base. His customers are very pleased with his excellent grooming skills and he is quickly becoming well-known amongst dog owners in our community.

Peyman’s interests include traveling, swimming, and cooking (he enjoys bringing Iranian dishes in for the staff to try – he is a very good cook).  His favorite breed to groom are curly coated dogs (specifically Poodles, Doodles and Portuguese Water Dogs, of all shapes and sizes).  He is also a masterful groomer of Shih Tzu’s, Maltese, Westies and Schnauzers.

Peyman lives in Dartmouth with his wife and his two dogs, Fidel and Delphi.

Katelyn G.

Katelyn was born and raised in Beaverbank, N.S.

From a very young age, Katelyn knew that her passion for dogs meant she was destined for a career in a pet care profession.

Her first experience in the pet grooming industry was working as a pet bather, where she learned that a soft-handed approach was the best way to build trust with every pet she worked with. After a year of working as a full-time bather for four groomers, she decided to continue her career and in 2023 she began working towards her certification as a pet groomer.

In 2024, Katelyn received her pet grooming certification and has continued to master her skills through hands-on experience and continuous learning. In the fall of 2024, she attended a hands-on training seminar under the skillful hands of the famous Blake Hernandez.

Katelyn joined the team at Posh Paws Fur Cause in the fall of 2024 shortly after earning her pet grooming certification, where she has continued to learn and grow.  She is especially skilled in working with curly-coated breeds, including Poodles, Doodles, Barbets and Portuguese Water Dogs.  She also has a lot of experience working with double-coated breeds, like Australian Shepherds, Golden Retrievers and, Bernese Mountain Dogs.  Her customer base also includes Shih Tzus, Westies, Maltese and Schnauzers, where her skillful art of scissoring techniques leads to beautiful grooming results.

In her spare time, Katelyn enjoys listening to music of all genres and drawing.  She lives in Beaverbank with her parents and during her off time, she loves to spend quality time with her family, including regular Sunday drives with her folks.
