MEET THE WILD ROVER TEAM
TANYA
Tanya has been grooming professionally for 17 years. She began her grooming career through a veterinary clinic and later went on to open her own grooming salon. Tanya spent several years working as the business manager of a local animal shelter and there found her passion for helping animals most in need of a positive grooming experience. Since creating Wild Rover, Tanya has continued to donate her time grooming shelter animals in need but has also made that a priority in the mission of Wild Rover. Grooming should be a positive experience for all, and for many pets and families, that is not possible at a typical grooming salon. Tanya created Wild Rover with those animals most in mind.
MICHELA
Michela has been in the animal care field for 15 years. She began working with baboons in South Africa in 2005 and from that point continued to work with wildlife and study in Belize and Madagascar and has been involved in several wildlife centers in the states. Michela began working with domestic pets in animal shelters about 12 years ago. She continued working in shelters during and after earning a degree in Animal Behavior and Evolutionary Biology. Through that work, Michela found that her experience in handling a wide range of wildlife offers a unique skill in working with domestic pets. She has a particular skill in working with sometimes challenging behaviors in animals and appreciates individual quirky animal personalities.
