Dog Nail Cutting near Lakewood, CO

After a time with Nailed It as a technician she and her family moved to Nebraska and now she is the main source of scheduling and communications behind the scenes at Nailed it Denver!

Anj was a dog handler for many years in her youth. To this day she still thinks of some of her favorites. She has worked in dog daycare facilities as management for 9+ years, eventually came across grooming, and had an amazing time with that for a couple of years. After she had a few odd jobs but she always seemed to find her way back to the animal industry. Which sparked her school bug to obtain her veterinary assistant certificate and proceeded to work for a busy vet clinic until her first baby was born!⁠ She has proven to be an amazing, driven, compassionate, and patient addition to the Nailed It team!

When your first word is “moo” and you grow up surrounded by animals it isn’t surprising to grow up to be an animal whisperer. Which is precisely what Bree is. Bree spent a great deal of her childhood with her Mom inside of grooming salons, doggy daycares (because why would anyone go to a human one if given the option?), and watching her Dad rodeo while the family was surrounded by horses. It’s easy to see little Bree working as a mini grooming assistant. When leaving the nest, she had her sights set on not making a career out of becoming a groomer. Her first calling was becoming a Colorguard instructor, but she tried to broaden her horizons by attending school to become a dental assistant, working in restaurants, retail, and even door to door sales.

Life had other plans for Bree though and introduced them in the form of her dog soulmate, Tink, the beautiful boxer mix. With Tink as her guide, Bree applied at Petco in 2011 on her 20th birthday and got the position. Since that moment she has worked to rehabilitate dogs, prepared them for adoption, interned with dog trainers, cared for pets, and (yes) groomed pets in the decade she has been in the industry. Using that time to build a network of brilliant and talented friends while building on the skills she already possessed from childhood. During that decade, her clan had also expanded to include Marilyn the cat from Adams County Animal Shelter in 2012 who was in the back corner of the shelter. Marilyn is known for her resting bitch face which Bree finds impossible to resist.  Next to join was Odie the Purple Poodle who has been a big part of the growth of Nailed It.  While Tink has always acted as a guide pushing Bree towards the right direction, Odie is a teacher in how he has taught Bree the gentle approach to working with animals hands-on. (Don’t forget to check out Odie’s bio!)  Among the three, the clan has also grown to include rats, a rabbit, and fish! 

Nailed It Denver was founded four years ago in April of 2017 with a vehicle, a pair of nail trimmers, and a dream. While it may have been a joke at the beginning “Wouldn’t it be just so silly if I only did nail trims all day?” This business has and is continuing to grow.  Bree uses her animal whispering skills to make sure that every dog, cat, and small animal feels safe and pampered during their visit. 

When not working at building up her business, Bree likes to dream about traveling across the United States (eventually the world), embarrassing others with her “spectacular” karaoke skills, plan her next concert outing and next Disney adventure with her fiance Nick, or even her next tattoo (she likes to claim she will be covered like a billboard one day). She also likes to express herself with her amazingly colorful hair and show off her spooky side through her love of Halloween. Last but not least celebrating other small businesses by attending networking and small business events.

Amber too started her journey with Nailed It as a client and is the founder of DigiGrin. She is a (usually) rainbow-haired, tattooed boss babe and Colorado native who really enjoys being able to bring up those around her.

In April of 2018, she quit her full-time, stable job because she was convinced there was a better way to do business than what she was being taught. She wanted to start a digital marketing company that was honest with its capabilities and transparent with its clients.

Now, together with her team, she empowers business owners to find what works for them in the digital marketing world and to fix what doesn’t.

In her free time, you will find her watching way too much Tik Tok and wishing it was Vine or recreating vegan versions of her favorite childhood meals. She has never met a craft that she didn’t like. She talks to her dog Gibson like he’s a person, allows her cat Priscilla to hog keyboard space and she actually enjoys family dinners.
