Every person at Hearth has been chosen for their patience first, their skill second.

14 yrs

Margot Osei

Head Groomer & Founder

Former vet tech turned groomer. Margot opened Hearth because she believed every animal deserved to leave a spa feeling genuinely better.

9 yrs

Theo Nakamura

Senior Groomer

Specialty: Persian & long-coat cats · Nail art

Theo spent three years grooming show cats in Kyoto before moving stateside. His patience with feline clients is, frankly, supernatural.

6 yrs

Trained in animal aromatherapy and holistic skin care. Priya formulated every Hearth bath blend from scratch, using only food-safe ingredients.

3 yrs

Luca Ferreira

Junior Groomer

Luca grew up in a house with seven dogs and has been grooming since college. His energy makes first-timers feel like regulars by the end.

🩺

Vet-trusted since day one.

Three of our regulars are practicing veterinarians who bring their own animals here. That's the kind of endorsement no ad budget can buy.

The Hearth Community

Real pets.
Real regulars.
