- Introducing a series where we share a scoop from the lives of our groomers. This , we are bringing to you the story of Ms. Sonia - an integral part of our Groomer's Team.
"11 years ago, when I entered this space, I was overwhelmed to see how much care goes into upbringing a pet. And I was touched to see how pet parents considered their pet a family member. This feeling inspired me to explore the field and connect with more people who regard these adorable creatures of god and make them feel inclusive.
I always wanted to explore a field of work where I could challenge the male centricity and influence the perception of people that women are not meant to do certain things. The biggest challenge I faced as a female groomer was trusting clients. I was young and going to random houses to groom dogs without knowing what the conditions could be like was quite intimidating initially. With persistence and time, I was able to overcome my fear. Now, organisations like Pet Voyage are furthering this space with superior quality standards and positive work environment.
At Pet Voyage, I feel like I am a part of a family too, that makes me feel comfortable and inspires me everyday. So happy to be a part of this supaw team!"
