Our story
A grooming studio built on trust
Paws & Reflect was born out of a simple love for dogs and a desire to give them the care they deserve. What started as a small local grooming service has grown into a trusted name in Clarksville, TN — built on word-of-mouth, happy tails, and a whole lot of heart.
We take pride in treating every dog like our own. Whether it's a first-time puppy visit or a regular full groom, we make sure each appointment is calm, comfortable, and tailored to your dog's needs.

Heather
Owner & Certified Groomer
Hi everyone! I'm Heather, the owner and groomer behind Paws & Reflect. I've been in the dog grooming business since 2018 in California after being a medical assistant. I've grown from a bather, to a groomer assistant and certified Dog Groomer — also certified in geriatric grooming. I've also taken a healing the follicle course for skin issues.
I'm here to create a stress-free, safe, trust-building and fun grooming experience. Grooming isn't just a job for me — it's a way to connect with the pet parent and pups, making them feel loved, safe and comfortable.
Outside of dogs and Paws & Reflect, I'm a mom and wife. I love playing soccer, hiking, being outdoors, and spending time with my own 2 dogs, 3 cats and a gecko lizard. My love for dogs goes well beyond grooming and into training — working with my own German Shepherd and Golden Retriever sparked a genuine passion for helping dogs with stress and anxiety.
Opening Paws & Reflect gave me the chance to turn my love for dogs into something I could share with my community. I wanted to create an affordable, welcoming salon where dogs receive real attention and I can get to know the pups and families who come through my door. I can't wait to meet more of you — and of course, all of your pups!

Hi, I'm Ashley! I've been grooming just over 3 years. I met Heather in 2017 when we were both medical assistants at Premier Medical. Life took us both different directions when she moved to California, but somehow we ended up taking the same career change — from the medical field to dog grooming. And here we are, back working together again!
I became a bather at PetSmart in February 2023 and by August 2023 I was in their groomer academy. I worked in Hendersonville until July 2025 when Heather brought me to Clarksville because she knew my passion for pets and my desire to keep learning.
Outside the salon, I live on 2 acres with my mom and 4 dogs — Stan Lee, Apple, Cricket, and Hammy! We have 8 chickens with plans to add more. I have a 25-year-old son in Florida and two 8-year-old nephews I completely adore and spoil. I love all things Halloween and horror — you'll find skeletons in my yard year-round! In my spare time you can find me with my animals or crafting up something I found online.

Hi, I'm Michelle! I started out as a bather in February 2024 and after about 6 months I started getting interested in grooming. I may not have a lot of experience yet, but I am so grateful for the clients who trust me with their fur babies.
I've lived in Montgomery County for 34 years and just celebrated 23 years of marriage to my wonderful husband. I have two kids — a 20-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son. I love camping and spending time with family, and I'm very active in my church. At home I have 3 dogs (a Rottweiler and 2 Shih Tzus) and about 30 chickens!

Hi, I'm Anna! A few fun facts about me: I'm a military kid who lived in Germany for about 9 years! I love being creative and reading. I have a Pittie at home who's 11 years old. My favorite season is Fall and my favorite colors are red and yellow!
Happy pups
