Jacklyn Hypes, one of two pet stylists at VCA Champions Northwest, has a contagious smile and gentle touch that helps some of the more timid pets relax and feel at ease during a special groom and spa day. She grooms all breeds of dogs and can add that creative touch, such as a fancy tail cut, when clients request it. A true animal lover, Jacklyn has eight "rescued" pets at home.

Outside of work she enjoys photography and spending time with her family. She says playing with dogs all the time makes her day.
