Our full-service grooming facility can take care of anything. Bathing, trimming, nail clipping, even specialty services!

For your cat:

We don’t often think that cats need to be groomed, especially the short-haired ones. However, there are many reasons to have your cat professionally groomed. Skin conditions, odor, or excessive shedding can all be helped by good grooming. In addition, it can help decrease hairballs and keep their nails from getting too sharp. Plus, have you ever tried bathing a cat? It’s not easy. Let us take care of it for you!

Get to know our Groomer, Kim Needre:

Kim Needre, Groomer, Harmony Pet Resort & Spa

How did you arrive at your current position, What path brought you here?

I got my first job bathing animals in high school and then became a veterinary assistant when I graduated. I switched to grooming animals in New York in 2004 and have been doing it ever since. I even had my own grooming salon in New York for five years before moving back to North Carolina in 2009.

What are you known for professionally, What do you have a knack for?

My specialty is getting to know our clients and their pets and doing the right style for them. We talk about everything when I check them in. I ask them what length they want their dog’s hair, how they want the face to be framed, and make sure I always deliver the best look for them!

What are you most passionate about professionally?  What excites you most about your work and the contribution you can make?

I have always been an animal lover and interacting with dogs every day is one of my favorite parts of my job! I also love interacting with our clients who bring their animals here. I couldn’t live without our excellent Harmony bather Ajia who helps me tremendously. I love working with the dogs and seeing them leave all clean and dapper.

How long have you been doing what you do?

I’ve been working with animals in some capacity since high school but started professionally grooming in 2004.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Massachusetts and moved to North Carolina in middle school.

Where can we find you when you’re not working? What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend or a Sunday afternoon?

You’ll find me spending time with my daughters aged 9 to 20. We love all the summer activities like fishing, river tubing, canoeing, basically anything outdoors that you can do in warmer weather. All my girls enjoy spending time together being active. I have no fur babies right now but I’m in the market for a sweet puppy soon!

Next time you are at Harmony, stop in the Pet Resort and Spa to say “Hi!” to Kim.
