Get to know the team!


Meet the owner♥

 Hi, I’m Tanya, Owner/Operator of Puppy In My Pocket Dog Grooming.  

I started my grooming career back in 2004 and quickly fell in love with the industry. After years of grooming in salons across Calgary, I finally took the leap and built the business I had always dreamed of.

Creating a calm, positive experience for every dog is at the heart of everything we do here. I truly believe that when a dog feels safe and cared for, the entire grooming process becomes more enjoyable, not just for them, but for us too.


In 2023, I made the difficult decision to step away from grooming due to the physical strain on my body. That transition allowed me to focus fully on growing the business and intentionally building a team that could uphold the reputation I worked so hard to create. Every member of our team has been carefully chosen - not just for their skill, but for their compassion and shared values. Watching them grow, succeed, and carry forward the vision of gentle, thoughtful grooming has been incredibly rewarding. Together, we continue to learn, evolve, and raise the standard of care we provide.

I feel so lucky to do what I love every day, and my team and I can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friend(s) into our space.
