Our JourneyPassion for Pet Grooming

Tidy Paws began as a true labor of love. Founded in 2021 by Audrey Rayens at just 17 years old, our salon has grown into a woman-owned, family-operated business with more than 40 years of combined grooming experience.

Audrey’s lifelong dedication to animals—starting with volunteering at a spay and neuter clinic at a young age—shaped our mission:

to provide high-quality, safe, and compassionate grooming rooted in education, expertise, and genuine care.

Our team holds multiple professional certifications, including:
 • Dog First Aid & CPR
 • Barkleigh Pet Professional First Aid & CPR (Dogs & Cats)
 • AKC S.A.F.E. Grooming Certification
 • Feline Safety Grooming Certificate
 • Brusher Bather Certificate
 • Hair and Skin 101 Certificate
 • Proper Storage and Sanitation Certificate
 • A Groomer’s Guide to the 15 Coat Types Certificate

We were honored to be Voted Best Groomer in Boyle County in 2025, and we proudly support our local community, including Boyle County and Mercer County Humane Societies and local theaters.

At Tidy Paws, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first—always.
