History
Jason & Sarah Ray started PurrFurred Pet Styling in June of 2006. When we started the business, Sarah was the only pet stylist and working part-time. Within 6 months of opening, Sarah moved to doing mobile grooming full-time for PurrFurred Pet Styling.
By 2008, we were so busy that we decided to purchase our 2nd grooming van…right as the recession hit. Ouch! By God’s grace, our business continued to grow year after year throughout the recession, albeit a little slower than before.
In 2011, as we came out of the recession we decided to maintain the current size of our business at 2 grooming vans as we started our family. In April of 2011, we welcomed our son Corbin into this world and two years later in February of 2013, our daughter Addie. During these years we turned our attention to the balance of raising our family and running a business.
In October of 2013 we pushed forward and added our 3rd grooming van which took off so quickly that we added our 4th grooming van in April of 2015.
With 4 grooming vans, we had outgrown our home based business and needed to move our growing business to a commercial location. In September 2015, we did just that and opened our Naperville salon. This location not only served as the base of operations for our mobile business, but also allowed us to expand our services to include a traditional grooming option to customers who may not be interested in the added cost of mobile grooming.
In May of 2017, we added our 5th grooming van.
In April of 2019, we launched our 2nd grooming location in Aurora. This location has allowed us to expand our services to include self-wash and has allowed us to offer additional pet retail products such as pet food, treats, bakery items, leashes/collars, CBD products, etc.
More to come!
