Bark Avenue Resort & Kamp and Mission Animal & Bird Hospital are thrilled to announce that professional groomer Brianna Gustafson joined our staff on June 17th.

Although our pet resort opened last November and we had a number of applicants for the grooming position, we intentionally took our time with the interview process.

Resort Director, Erin McGhee, states, “Being an excellent professional groomer wasn’t enough to be a team member at the resort.  Before we opened Bark
Avenue Resort & Kamp, we needed to find an experienced groomer who was passionate about animals – someone who would provide the same warm, loving care that the rest of our Kamp Counselors provide.  I believe that we have found that person in Brianna Gustafson.” 

Brianna Gustafson
Brianna has worked with animals and in the grooming profession most of her life - getting her first job at age 15, at a grooming shop in Encinitas.  She got her feet wet there (pun intended) as a bather/brusher for two years.

At 17, she relocated to Anaheim, where she was employed as a pet care specialist in an all cat veterinary hospital. Missing the North County area, Brianna moved back home the following year and became employed at a grooming salon in Carlsbad. Within a year, she progressed from a bather/brusher to an accomplished all breed groomer.

After five years at her previous salon, she has decided to become part of our team.  When asked about joining our team, Brianna responds, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to open the Bark Avenue Resort & Kamp”.  To all of our pet parents, Brianna states, “I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member!”

Bark Avenue Salon and Spa is now taking appointments for grooming of all breeds of dogs and cats.  Brianna will be grooming Thursday through Monday.
