REYNA HULL
Manager

I am excited to meet your dogs!  I have 30 years of showing, training and grooming experience.  I got my start as a "4Her" at age eight and now have two 4-H kids of my own. I have owned and bred Whippets since 1996, and currently have three Whippets and one Spinone Italiano. I began grooming and showing Shetland Sheepdogs and Greyhounds. I have experience in conformation, obedience, and the rally ring. My favorite show memory was my trip to Westminster in NYC a few years ago. I have apprenticed under a longtime Yorkie breeder, and groomer Corrine Boon, and am forever grateful for their expertise.  I have experience with wire coated maintenance as well. I truly love researching show grooms to help make your dog looks like a champion at home.

SHELBIE MONTOYA
Assistant Manager

I have always loved working with animals.  In the past I have been an animal specialist and worked with exotic animals, been a dog bather, worked in doggie daycare and done dog sitting.  I fell in love with the dogs and their humans.  I became fascinated with all the education that grooming entails.  I especially love working with shih tzus and putting pretty bows and bedazzles on all of your pups!  At home I have three wild whippets.  When I’m not working I’m normally spending time over at our local theatre Whidbey Playhouse.  I love being a part of this team and I can not wait to glam up your pups.

MELISSA COVICH
Retail Manager

I started my grooming career in 2000 in the Chicago suburbs. Quickly I fell in love with grooming and had the opportunity to travel with a professional dog handler grooming and showing multiple breeds of dogs. In 2011 I moved to Washington state where I groomed in a veterinary clinic and learned some of the medical side of dog grooming and work on special needs dogs. I am so proud to say that I am one of the original groomers that opened Posh puppies. I was relocated to Jacksonville, Florida for three years with my military spouse but I am so excited to be back in Washington grooming with my Posh puppies friends. I also volunteer with the local 4H club to pass on my knowledge of grooming and showing dogs to the next generation. I love to attend grooming, conventions to stay up-to-date on the latest equipment and attend classes to further my grooming knowledge. I currently share my home with an English setter, Doberman, standard poodle, and a toy Manchester terrier. I strive to make sure your pet is comfortable and has a pleasant experience. I enjoy grooming all breeds and my goal is to make sure your dogs tail is always wagging.

KATI CRENSHAW

Being an avid animal lover all my life, when I was introduced to grooming in 2015, I knew it was meant to be. Growing up I always had dogs in the home, and when my husband and I got our German Shepherd in 2014, I knew that they'll always hold a special place in my heart. One of the things I love most about grooming is getting the opportunity to work with so many different dogs, and getting to know each ones unique personality. When I'm not getting my creative outlet at work I enjoy camping, being in the kitchen, and drawing.

JENICE PARKER

I am originally from California. I moved to Washington and became an attendant at a local doggy daycare. I was offered an amazing opportunity to work at Posh where I have been an apprentice groomer for two years now.  I enjoy working with all dog breeds, but especially your double coated breeds! I especially love grooming huskies, and Aussies, really fluffy dogs of any size. Making sure your high energy and older dogs are happy and comfortable is what I aim for. As long as I can remember I have always had dogs in my life. I currently own and enthusiastic chocolate lab that I absolutely adore. Being able to wake up and work with dogs, every day is a blessing.

LEAH MYERS

From a young age I knew working with dogs is what I want to do in life. I have owned dogs my whole life and have worked in daycare, boarding, training, and grooming  facilities.  I’ve loved taking care of pets in every way and being able to work with dogs every day is truly a blessing.  I currently own two amazing dogs who I have learned so much from through our time together training the past 5 years. I enjoy grooming because I get to spend one-on-one time with so many amazing and different dogs. I love spending the time to make each dog is as comfortable and as clean as I can. In the time I have worked at Posh Puppies, I have learned so many things from our amazing, experienced groomers and I look forward to the opportunity to spend time with your dog!

SAMI BARTELS

I was born here on Whidbey island and was raised on my dad’s hobby farm. Growing up I’ve always had a huge love for animals. I started participating in horse 4h at a young age and am still an avid barrel racer today. After high school,  I went to school at animal behavior college for their dog training program and service dog training program! I am also certified in pet CPR and first aide. My grooming career began in 2022 here at posh puppies. Starting as a bather, I was able to learn from the ground up from our seasoned groomers. I then moved to Italy in August of 2022 where I continued to groom and learn as much as I could! Now being back on island I’m happy to be back at posh puppies seeing old faces and new faces! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, but I especially love the big babies and fluffy double coated pups! At home I currently have a mixed breed pup that adopted me during my time in Italy.  I can’t wait to meet and pamper your pups!

REANNA LACOSTE

I started here at Posh Puppies as dog bather for the groomers. I quickly realized that I was loving learning the different drying techniques and working with everyone’s awesome pups. They asked if I would like to take my own bath dog appointments and I quickly said yes! I then started learning basic trimming on different breeds. Now I’m learning all different types of haircuts and I’m enjoying everything that Posh Puppies have offered me and can’t wait to meet you and your pups!
