Nicole Smith

My name is Nicole Smith and I am the proud owner of Grooming by Nicole. I am married to a wonderful man, Jim. I have a beautiful daughter who is now 13 years old, Mikayla. I also have 1 stepdaughter, Kirsten, and 1 stepson, Ryan.  I am a proud member of Bardstown Christian Fellowship. I have lived in the Bardstown area for my whole life. I have always had a love for animals and as a child, I wanted to be a veterinarian. Because of the long, extensive schooling that it takes to become a vet I decided to look for a different career that would still deal with animals.  I have been grooming dogs for 17 years now and wouldn't have it any other way. I graduated from the Nash Academy of Animal Arts in Lexington. I worked at a pet grooming facility in Middletown for 2 years. Then I had my daughter and took a couple of months off. Deciding that it would be a huge strain driving to Middletown with an infant, I ended up grooming at a vet in town, Central Ky Animal Clinic. I never dreamed off owning and operating such an extensive business but the Lord has been very generous to me and I give all the credit to him. God has blessed me tremendously in my personal life and also in my business. Well, that's enough about me, take a look at the rest of my staff.

I am Trish Phillips. I've been married for 10 years to my wonderful husband Jason, we have two children 7 & 3. I've been grooming with Nicole for 12 years and worked 4 years for a vet prior to Grooming By Nicole. I enjoy working with cats and dogs because it is so rewarding at the end of the day when the pets go home looking and smelling great. We have 2 huskies, a mini aussie and 2 cats we love very much.
