Meet Michelle Wald

With over 20 years of experience in dog grooming and a heart full of love for our four-legged friends, Michelle is the magic behind the scissors at Tidy Tails. Specializing in small dog grooming, she brings patience, precision, and a whole lot of personality to every pup she meets.


When she’s not pampering pooches, Michelle is soaking up the good life with her husband of 30+ years, Dion. Together, they enjoy cruising on their motorcycle and spending sunny days on the river. Family is everything to Michelle, especially her son Brandon, his wonderful wife Kayla, and their three adorable grand-dogs who keep her on her toes and in the treat jar.


Michelle’s passion for pets, attention to detail, and fun-loving spirit make the salon, along with everyone else, a place both dogs and their humans love to visit.
