Meet the Owner

Hello! I’m Colleen, the proud owner of Bark & Bath Pet Salon here in Southern Maryland. As a lifelong local with over 16 years of experience in professional pet grooming and certification through IPG, animals have always been an important part of my life. Opening Bark & Bath has been a dream come true, and I’m incredibly grateful to do what I love every day.

At Bark & Bath, my mission is to create a safe, welcoming space for both pets and their owners. We believe in personalized, one-on-one grooming, which is why we don't use bathers or dryers—your selected groomer will be with your pet from start to finish, ensuring both comfort and a strong bond.

I’m so proud of the amazing team of groomers I’ve had the privilege to work with, and I’m deeply thankful for every client who has supported our small, local business. Your trust means the world to us!

Thank you for choosing Bark & Bath, where your pets’ happiness is our priority!

Alyssa has also had formal classroom training in many different breed specific patterns, achieving so many service-learning hours in each breed pattern.
