Sherry Reyenga
Receptionist
For the past five years, I have been the warm, welcoming face at our front desk, greeting every client with a smile and a conversation. I love getting to know everyone who walks through our doors, especially if they're accompanied by my favorite breed, a poodle!
Although The Pawlor is owned by my daughter, I naturally have become the "mom" of the team, earning the affectionate nickname "Mama" from the staff. My caring nature, friendly personality, and genuine love for people make everyone feel right at home.
Outside of the Pawlor, I am the proud mother of four and grandmother of four and cherish every moment with my family. When I’m not chatting with clients or helping keep the front desk running smoothly, you'll find me relaxing with sewing or diamond painting.
Audreyanna Cooper
Stylist
I’ve been in the pet grooming industry for 8 years, starting as a kennel technician, bather, and grooming assistant before becoming a groomer in 2025. After years of learning from my mentor, I finally got the opportunity to train as a groomer, and I've loved every step of the journey. Animals have always been my passion, and from helping with police K9 training as a teenager to falling in love with Italian Greyhounds, I've always known I wanted to dedicate my life to working with dogs.
My favorite part of grooming isn't just making dogs look great, it's earning their trust. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and a stress-free experience. Whether your pup needs extra breaks, encouragement, cuddles, or treats (with your permission), I'll always put their comfort and safety first. My goal is to create positive grooming experiences while helping every dog look and feel their best.
When I'm not grooming, you'll usually find me streaming on Twitch, gaming, collecting Monopoly board games, spending time at the river, listening to true crime podcasts, or playing music. I love being part of the Purple Pooch Pawlor family because we truly care about every pet that walks through our doors. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members and help make grooming a fun, positive experience they'll be happy to come back for!
Tracy Johnson
Grooming Assistant
I'm a grooming assistant with a huge passion for animals. I love helping dogs feel clean, comfortable, and cared for, and I do my best to make every visit a positive experience filled with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
My love for animals doesn't end when I leave work. At home, I have a cat and a big, gentle Great Dane who keep life fun and full of slobbery cuddles. I'm also a proud mom to my amazing 11-year-old daughter, who shares my love for animals of every shape and size. Whether they're big and drooly or tiny and fluffy, we adore them all!
I truly believe every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and love. There’s no such thing as too slobbery or too furry in my book. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!
Kenzie Blazek
Grooming Assistant
I've been part of the Purple Pooch Pawlor family for about six months, and I truly love what I do. I've always had a soft spot for animals, and sometimes I joke that I get along with them even better than people! Some of my favorite breeds are Rottweilers, Catahoulas, and Chihuahuas, they all have such unique personalities.
When I'm not at work, I enjoy giving my friends manicures and pedicures. I also have a creative side that I get to express at a local haunted house, where I do special effects makeup and create optical illusions for our actors. It's a fun way to combine my love of art with a little spooky creativity!

Stylist
I’ve been a pet stylist since 2022, but my love for animals started long before that. Growing up, I was always reading everything I could get my hands on about animals, and I’m grateful to have turned that lifelong passion into a career.
When I’m not grooming, you’ll usually find me spending time with my cats and standard poodle, curled up with a good book, practicing piano, or painting watercolor birds and flowers. I also love exploring music, art, and stories of every genre, and I enjoy bringing that same creativity, patience, and care to every pet I meet.
