Septembers employee of the month is: ✨✨RUTHIE✨✨
CONGRATULATIONS RUTHIE! We are so happy and lucky to have you on our team! You are such a talented groomer and one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! Since Ruthie is employee of the month here is a little get to know you Q&A
1. What do you like to do on your off time?🎬🥾⛰️☀️
“When I’m not working, I love being outside — kayaking, hiking with my husband and furry sidekicks, and tracking down fun new places to explore. Although, I’m always down for a good lazy day eating snacks and watching movies!”
2. Where are you from?📍
“Born and raised in Beauregard, right here in Opelika — this community has always been home.”
3. Do you own any pets?🐓🦮
“I share my home with three amazing dogs — Nemo (my perfect husky boy), Rixie (my pittie and resident ‘house hippo’), and Ducky (my pint-sized lap dog who thinks she’s the biggest of the bunch). Plus, a flock of 13 beloved chickens — all named, of course!”
4. What is your dream career?💭✂️🐩
“I didn’t exactly follow the ‘ideal dream career’ path — I just knew I wanted to work with animals. For a while, I pictured myself in wildlife rehab or working with raptors, but in the end, becoming a dog groomer turned out to be my real-life dream job.”
5. What do you love about working at Zoom to Groom?
“One of my favorite parts is the one-on-one time. Each dog gets their own spa day while I focus on helping them look and feel amazing for their favorite humans.”
6. Favorite dog breed to groom & why?🐩✂️🫧
“I love a creative challenge, and poodles and doodles deliver! Their coats are perfect for experimenting with fun cuts that bring out their best look (and attitude).”
7. What is your dream vacation?⛵️🗺️🏖️
“Honestly, anywhere! From tropical beaches and stunning natural wonders to incredible man-made masterpieces — I want to experience it all.”
8. What motivated you to become a groomer?🎨✂️🫧
“I originally became a groomer just to work with animals
something I’d always dreamed of. But once I saw other groomers turning dog fur into true works of art, I was hooked. Seeing wagging tails and dogs looking like real art, absolutely fills my heart with joy”🥰
