About

Hello, my name is Ricardo Hernandez. I’ve been a pet stylist since 2014, and I haven’t looked back since. However, my career in the animal care industry began long before that. I’m fortunate to say that before becoming a pet stylist, I was a marine mammal trainer. I’ve worked with, cared for, and trained dolphins, sea lions, otters, and penguins. This career also gave me the opportunity to work in Hawaii, California, and most recently, Dubai, UAE. I have extensive experience as a Marine Mammal Trainer including Dolphin Quest-Oahu, U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program-San Diego and Ski Dubai, UAE.

Although I enjoyed my work in this field, nothing beats the comfort of home. Upon returning to Colorado Springs, I continued my career in animal care by helping owners train their dogs. During a chance encounter, I was offered the opportunity to groom dogs—and I quickly realized I had found my new calling. I have been pursuing this career ever since.

I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology, Minor in Communications from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS). I am also Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I am a Certified AKC S.A.F.E. Groomer.

I am now bringing my services directly to my community and neighborhood as an in-home, house-call groomer. This decision was not driven by business considerations alone, but by my desire to provide personal care and a hands-on, individualized approach to each grooming client.I am now bringing my services directly to my community and neighborhood as an in-home, house-call groomer.
