Our Story

The Prestigious Pup was established in 2023 with a clear objective: to do more for our pets. Our aim is to deliver an unparalleled grooming experience for every pup in existence!

Sounds pretty straightforward, right?

But how does one go about doing that? What could we provide to really deliver on our goal? After years of working in the industry, we believe that respect forms the bedrock of a superior grooming experience. We hold great respect for you, our valued friend, and, more importantly, for your furry family members. By respecting your pet's boundaries and fears, we slowly work toward making the whole process of grooming enjoyable for the pups.

Kim East

CEO/Pet Stylist

Hello, I'm Kim, proud owner of The Prestigious Pup. My journey into the pet care industry began in 2015, but I've been bringing home new pets all my life. Haha, sorry mom.

I initially wanted to be a veterinarian, but it turns out i can't stomach seeing injuries. I ended up getting a job as a bather and fell in love with it. After completing PetSmart's academy program and almost 6 years under their wing, I began exploring other avenues to further my career. Everything in my life has been leading to this, and I can't wait to see where else it will take me.

When I'm not grooming, you can find me snuggled up on the couch with my babies, taking care of my plants, or crafting something new with my hubby or family.

Jason Meneses

COO/Bather/Driver

Hello, my name is Jason and I am also an owner of The Prestigious Pup. I officially started in the pet care industry in 2017, but i have been training dogs since I was young. I began as a kennel tech at a boarding facility where I handled approximately 20 dogs at a time. I gained a ton of experience and learned to incorporate my unique dog training approach to maintain a playfully calm environment. I was soon dubbed as the facility's "Dog Whisperer".

I soon followed Kim into the world of mobile grooming and have been bathing dogs for her ever since. I've learned so much about all the different breeds and their grooming needs, and I now use my training skills to ensure all our clients have a fun time with us on the grooming table.

On my downtime, you can find me gaming online with friends, catching up on some anime, trying to train our bird (harder than I thought), or drawing, painting, making pottery, ect.. I love all forms of art and try to dabble in a little bit of everything.
