Today we’d like to introduce you to MeMe Mathis.
MeMe, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Four years ago, I decided I would dedicate my life to doing the one thing that I actually LOVED to do. That’s was working with Animals. I attended and graduated from Carrington College in 2015. However, every time I went to an interview no one would give me a shot. So, I held my chin high and decided I would start my own business!
I knew I loved animals, but dogs have always been my passion. I then had my dog-son oreo, and still do he is 10 years young, lol, Shitzu-Poodle. I had noticed when taking him to get groomed he would come back acting differently. A light bulb came on…
Then, I find out I am three months pregnant!
So, I started grooming… my family members dogs, friends, and neighbors out of my home in the west valley at the time. I practiced, made some mistakes, and practice some more.
Researched about opening up a mobile grooming business. But I knew I didn’t want just Mobile. In-Home grooming. I wanted it to be a more personal experience not only for the pets but for the family as well
Let me say! That was the best decision I have ever made in my 29 years of living.
Has it been a smooth road?
I definitely have overcome so many challenges over the past year. From car troubles, being a mother & wife. It’s more of finding a balance though. However, I am grateful for every lesson I have learned and will continue to learn as my business grows.
