About Us
The history of our salon
Hello, I am Cheryl Wyrick, the owner and manager of Pampered Paws Grooming Salon Inc.
I am proud to say 2023 marked the 25th Anniversary of our little business. Through many trials and lessons we have survived and are going strong. We love the Waldo community and the people who trust us with their furry friends!
In my youth I wanted to be a veterinarian, as many children do, but that didn't happen. I worked at an
animal hospital at the age of sixteen. Even then I felt a strong desire to care for pets.
As a young adult, I worked at the Humane Society of Greater KC with the neglected and homeless
pets. After seven years there, I decided to focus on caring for the pets in the community who have great homes and are pampered pets.
In 1989, I became a dog and cat groomer with a Vet in Waldo. In 1998 our grooming staff was large enough to branch off into my own business. "Pampered Paws Grooming" was created. I named it after my old dog "PAWS" a hound mix that I raised with my daughter.
In 2003 we moved into 7238 Wornall. We were there for 9 years and it served us well.
2013 was a time for change, when we moved to 7719 Wornall. This space is more of a "destination".
We were able to rehab the building and give it character. We have private parking, and a big yard in
the back for the dogs who stay. It feels like more of a spa now. We know you will love it too.
We have a wonderful loving, caring, patient team to care for your pets. We take pride in our work and continue our education at conventions.
I hope this helps you understand the history of our little business. It continues to grow because of
you, our wonderful clients. You give us the honor of taking care of your cherished family pets.
