Who we are

At Houndstooth, we believe that every dog deserves a grooming experience that is calm, personalized, and stress-free. We understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why we’ve built our salon around a dog-first philosophy, offering one-on-one grooming appointments that prioritize your pup’s comfort, health, and happiness above all else.

Our goal is to create a welcoming space where both dogs and their people feel at ease. We take the time to get to know each dog and tailor every session to their unique needs and temperament. By focusing on trust, transparency, and consistent care, we hope to build lasting relationships with our clients and their pets.

At Houndstooth, we’re committed to living up to the promise behind our name—grooming with heart, honesty, and a deep respect for the bond you share with your dog.

  • Kasey Welshons

    Owner Operator

    After 10+ years in the grooming industry, I took a break and worked reception in small animal medicine. After 4 years, I’m happy to be back in the industry! It’s my goal as an owner-operator to ensure that you and your pets have an enjoyable experience here at Houndstooth. I have 2 dogs, Bucky Barnes and Ekko, and two cats, Kled and Smeagol. When not working, I enjoy international travel and attending conventions with my husband and friends. If you need to contact me directly, you can do so here.

  • Alyssa Niven

    Owner Groomer

    I have been grooming since April of 2013. I love meeting new dogs every day and making them look their best. For me, one of the most rewarding parts of being a groomer is helping dogs who struggle with grooming become more comfortable with the process. I also have some experience in dog training and I would love to do it again one day. Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife, dog and cat, travelling, listening to kpop and hanging out with friends. I would love to meet you and your dog! If you would like to contact me directly, my email is here.
