ABOUT US
 
Pretty Paws and Julie GebkaI graduated from The Midwest School of Dog Grooming in the fall of 1987.  Before that I attended college while working at the Downers Grove Animal Medical Clinic.  After receiving my grooming certificate, I worked at Shear Perfection in Clarendon Hills.  I worked there for a couple of years and became the shop manager.  From there I went to work at Sylvia's Dog Grooming in Darien for a year while I started to build a business from my home.  I began Pretty Paws in 1991 and have been grooming ever since.  Sometimes more and sometimes less, depending on what my life entailed. 

I used to groom all sizes but have now restricted it to 35 pounds and under.  Sometimes with the bigger dogs you need help handling them and it became too difficult being that I work by myself. I have always enjoyed grooming, and my success has shown me that I am good at it too.
