Luzienne is the loving mother to a rescued cat named Octavia. She may have come to us at the beginning of her long medical journey after years of abuse, it took her no time at all to steal our hearts.
Luzienne’ s grooming journey began 14 years ago in 2011 when she had the privilege to open the very first Petsmart in my home country of Puerto Rico. “I instantly fell in love with the difference I could make in the lives of all the pets I met,” says Luzienne.
Through hard work, education and a passion to transform her skills, Luzienne spent the next 9 years developing craft while managing and opening 3 different locations before fate brought her to the USA. She then joined PetSmart and during her time there she managed many salons and worked her way up to the PetSmart Academy Instructor, where she had the honor to share in the development of dozens of students new grooming careers. “Teaching has always been a passion of mine since majoring in Pedagogy in college.”
Driven by her constant desire to improve she left PetSmart to pursue a career as a veterinary technician in 2020. While she learned so much during her time there, she was drawn back to her real passion, grooming and in 2021 she joined Barklee’s Pet Salon (formerly Sydnee’s).
“Every day I continue to develop my craft and am fortunate to share and mentor others.
I specialize in caring for elderly and behaviorally challenged pets because I believe that every pet deserves a chance to look and feel their absolute best. I am also one of the shops cat groomers and provide nail trim services to small and exotic pets.” Luzienne.
Luzienne has been instrumental in training many groomers at Barklee’s and is also fluent in both Spanish and English. She is also Pet CPR and Pet 1st Aid certified, and prides herself on being a welcoming space for clients of all backgrounds and gender expressions.

Abigail’s passion for animals started at a very young age.

Abigail’s passion for animals started at a very young age. From competitive horse riding at the age of 8, where she gained years of experience with large animals to obtaining my Bachelors in Animal Biology and Welfare in the UK, I’ve been paving my deep love for animals into my career for nearly all my life.
Once Abby moved back to US, she worked in the veterinary field as a vet nurse for 4 years. “I truly enjoyed my role in caring and nurturing all types of animals during sickness or health, gaining valuable learning experiences along the way.”
Abby always had an interest in the aesthetic side of the pet industry, so went through the training academy to become a groomer. “I have since found my passion and fallen in love with my career! After a year of working as a groomer at PetSmart, I joined Barklee’s Pet Salon (formally Sydnee’s) in 2021. I adore the team I work along side, and love the strong relationships I have built with my clients and their fur babies. I will always strive to make your pets feel comfortable and pampered. We treat each pet like our own. Thank you for trusting us to care for your sweet pups & kitties. Can’t wait to see you!” Abby

Laureen has worked in the dog industry since 2017, and her undeniable love for animals made her career into passion and pure joy. She got certified in animal behavior and animal therapy, and with this knowledge she has been able to implement her understanding in pet’s needs, tolerance and wellbeing. Laureen gained her training from a grooming mentor of 40 years’ experience, which has allowed her to view the large spectrum of differences in breeds and haircuts over the years. Before Barklee’s Pet Salon (previously known as Sydnees), Laureen worked as a grooming consultant for 4 years at Dog Camp Kennels, where she truly enjoyed her groomer-client relationships. Laureen is passionate about continued learning in the grooming industry and excited to gain a deeper understanding of your pets.
“I focus on the health and behavior of your pets. I strongly lean towards building a bond and trust with your pets in the groom room. I steer away from pushing them past their comfort zone, or from any stress in what can be a stressful environment. I thrive on being transparent and an open book with you when it comes to your pets behavior, coat and skin conditions. I believe no pet is a lost cause when it comes to getting their groom, even if they have been pushed away from others in the past. I love letting their personalities shine in their look! I desire to make your pets appointments a much deserving ‘Spaw Day’ for them! I am excited to get them feeling and looking their best! Thank you for trusting me with your babies, and I’m looking forward to meeting new Fur-Friends in the years to come!
