About Little Paws Dog Grooming Stylist
Salon Owner
Hi, I’m Carly – the proud owner of our dog grooming salon! ✂️🐾
I’ve been in the dog grooming world for over 20 years, but really, my journey started when I was just 10 years old with a brush, a comb, and a big love for dogs. Since then, I’ve built and run several successful salons, each one inspired by my passion for making pups look and feel their best.
At home, life is full of love (and wagging tails!) with my amazing partner, our two kids Ellie and Henley, and our cheeky dachshunds Pepperoni and Macaroni 🌭🐶.
Owning this salon isn’t just a job – it’s my dream career. I’m so grateful to do what I love every day and to meet so many wonderful dogs (and their humans) along the way. 💕
Salon Manager
Hi there! I’m Lyla, but most people know me as Lala. I’m currently completing my final year of school at a trade college. I’ve always been someone who carries herself with confidence and maturity and I take pride in that. Outside of school, I’m a devoted dog lover—I have two adorable Cavoodle cross Shih Tzu puppies named Mama and Tae Tae, who bring so much joy to my life. I’ve always been drawn to hands-on work and knew I wanted to be part of an industry where I could stay active, involved, and passionate every day. That passion really came to life when I started helping Carly, the owner of Little Paws Dog Grooming. From the moment I began working with the pups, I knew I had found something I truly love.
Senior Spa Pawfectionist
Hey! I’m Dominique
I am 18 years old, and proud dog owner to Appa, a Maltese x Terrier, and Nibbles, a Maltese x Poodle. I’m currently studying Youth Mental Health at uni but outside of the classroom you’ll find me covered in fur and loving every second of it. Thanks to my boss Carly (the reason I fell in love with this job), I’ve learned just how fun and rewarding working with dogs can be. I’m super hands-on and always make sure every pup gets treated like family — with lots of love, care, and belly rubs!
Junior Spa Pawfectionist
Meet Lily, our wonderful junior team member! You’ll find her in the salon on Saturdays and during school holidays. Lily is a bright, happy soul with a genuine love for dogs and a joyful attitude that lights up the salon. She’s an important part of our Little Paws family.
Aunty Fee | Daycare
Hi,
I’m Aunty Fee — your pup’s second favourite human!
After retiring in June, I wanted to fill my days with love, laughter, and wagging tails. I’ve always adored dogs, and offering doggie daycare and pet sleepovers lets me enjoy all the puppy cuddles while still having the freedom to travel the world — the best of both worlds!
When I’m not caring for my furry guests, you’ll find me spending time with my wonderful husband, our adult children, and my four beautiful grandchildren. Family means everything to me — and when your pet stays with me, they become part of that family too.
I also love popping into my daughter-in-law’s grooming salon to meet all the happy pups (and sneak in a few extra cuddles!).
At Aunty Fee’s, your pet is treated like one of my own — loved, spoiled, and completely at home. 💕
