Tamera is passionate about grooming dogs, specializing in de-shedding, nail painting, and styling long-coated hair in playful ponytails. A graduate of Westfield High School in 2022, she has always had a love for animals, which inspired her to take a Vet Science class where she learned about anatomy, physiology, disease prevention, and dog grooming. After graduation, Tamera began her career as a Dog Bather/Groomer at Pender Pet Retreat. She has continued to enhance her skills through courses in animal behavior, proper bathing techniques, and massage for pets. She is an AKC Certified Groomer, Fear Free Certified Groomer, as well as a certified Pet Massage Therapist from the Animal Behavior College.
Tamera is also a proud pet owner, caring for a spirited bunny named Thumper and a sweet, quiet hamster named Shadow. Her love for animals drives her work; they bring her joy and help her relax, especially during stressful times. The most rewarding part of her job at Pender is seeing dogs happy and healthy, and she takes pride in offering clients valuable grooming tips to keep their pets looking their best.
