Elizabeth “Lizzie/Liz” Grajeda has been dedicated to professional grooming since 2008, turning a childhood love for animals into a lifelong career. Her journey reflects not only skill and expertise but also a deep passion for creating positive, stress-free experiences for pets and their families.

Her commitment to integrity and responsibility ensures that every animal is raised with care, respect, and the highest standards of quality.

Her work is guided by compassion, professionalism, and a promise to deliver excellence in every detail.

Cheri Grajeda
Owner
Cheri Grajeda is a versatile and multi-talented entrepreneur whose journey reflects dedication, creativity, and a love for animals. After building a successful career spanning more than 21 years, Cheri chose to retire and pursue her lifelong passion by creating a handcrafted, family-owned grooming business. What began as a dream quickly grew into a thriving salon where pets are treated with the utmost care and respect, and where every detail is designed to ensure comfort and joy.
Cheri and her family work side by side, blending professionalism with genuine compassion. Their teamwork creates a harmonious environment that radiates warmth and trust, making both pets and their owners feel at ease the moment they walk through the door. Every grooming session is more than a routine appointment—it’s a personalized spa day where “Fur Babies” are pampered like royalty. From soothing baths and gentle grooming techniques to stylish finishing touches, Cheri’s salon is committed to delivering an experience that is as stress-free as it is luxurious.
At the heart of the business is a simple but powerful philosophy: treat every customer like family and every pet like the cherished companion they are. Cheri believes that grooming should never feel rushed or transactional; instead, it should be a joyful experience that strengthens the bond between pets and their owners.
​
✨ Our Goal: To provide Albuquerque with the BEST grooming experience—one that combines expert care, a welcoming atmosphere, and the kind of personal attention that makes every visit unforgettable.
