Lavender Paw Pet Spa: support a small women-owned business!

Hi! I’m Jillian. My dear friends Caitlyn Reed and Heather Leon are taking the INCREDIBLE leap of faith into becoming business owners to live out their passion as expert dog groomers in a space all their own!

I’m unbelievably proud of these two. They have put their blood, sweat, and tears into making this dream a reality. Because of their hard work and dedication, this dream is finally within reach. They’ve acquired a space and are slated to take over the lease on January 1st, 2025.

I’m starting this fundraiser because I want to lift some of the burden off their shoulders. Starting a business is expensive, and much of that expense is up front.

As responsible business-owners-to-be, they’ve created a rock solid budget. Adhering to that budget means they’ve accepted that they will need to sacrifice some of their wishlist business items/projects initially. I want to help make those sacrifices as minimal as possible and get them closer to the salon of their dreams.

The past couple years, life has thrown them every possible curveball, from health emergencies, to family emergencies. They’re always the first ones to step up to the plate and help others. I want to show them their community loves them back and wants to see them thrive!
