Meet Our Team

Meet Colette Florey.

Colette is the heart, vision, and guiding force behind the way That’s FETCH! grooms. Colette oversees the That’s FETCH! Grooming Spaw, and it is her philosophy that shaped every detail of the experience. With over five years of intentional planning, she thoughtfully designed the Spaw from the ground up—selecting each piece of equipment and carefully defining the character, temperament, and values of the That's FETCH! Furologists who joins the team.

A professional pet groomer since 2008, Colette brings deep industry knowledge from years spent in traditional and big-box salon environments. As a former salon manager, she gained firsthand insight into what was missing in the conventional grooming model—and, just as importantly, what she never wanted replicated. Her goal was clear: to eliminate unnecessary stress, rushed handling, and impersonal care, and replace it with trust, calm, and connection.

Colette’s vision places the pet’s emotional experience first and foremost. Under her leadership, the Grooming Spaw was created as a serene, spa-like environment where each furbaby receives undivided attention from their Furologist and is treated with the same love and respect as family. Her passion for her craft and unwavering commitment to compassionate, holistic grooming are the foundation of everything That’s FETCH! represents.

Combining her affection for animals with a commitment to making a meaningful impact in the community, Linda created a business with heart, soul, and purpose.

Rex (aka Copper): Our Forever Shop Dog

When we first opened our shop, we welcomed visitations from shelter dogs, cats, and bunnies in partnership with Santa Barbara County Animal Services. It was our way of creating connection, compassion, and second chances.

Rex—known then as Copper—was a 13-year-old senior Chihuahua who came to visit us over the course of a few days. He arrived with a heart murmur and a gentle, knowing presence. Almost immediately, he felt like he belonged. And truthfully, so did we.

We decided to adopt him as our official shop dog.

Rex came to work with me every day, and it didn’t take long for him to appoint himself as our shop protector. Enter the front staff-only area without approval and he would be sure to let you know it was not acceptable. Otherwise, his days were spent lounging comfortably in his chair or bed, quietly overseeing the shop with dignity and calm.

An initial veterinary evaluation revealed that Rex not only had a significant heart murmur, but also pulmonary hypertension. He took his medications like a professional and made it clear—every single day—that he knew he was cherished. When weather changes triggered bouts of bronchitis, each veterinary or emergency visit was met with the same promise: we would continue to support him, love him, and provide care for as long as he wished to remain on this Earth.

Rex gave us seven more beautiful years.

One day, during a familiar episode, Rex looked at me with intention and refused his medication. In that moment, he told me he was ready. While the goodbye was deeply difficult, the decision was clear—he had made it for us.

Rex came into our lives surrounded by love, and he left knowing he was loved just as intensely.

Until we meet again, little man. 🐾

Meet Willow (aka Lindrina) Our Forever Shop Dog #2

Willow came into our lives a few months after we opened our shop. At the shelter, her name was Lindrina, and she was estimated to be nine years old. Her whitened face, however, suggested a much longer and harder life. A shelter volunteer shared that Willow had likely been used as a breeding Chihuahua for a backyard breeder and was surrendered when it was believed she could no longer produce puppies.

Willow was not a cuddler and was understandably wary of people, but she had a deep affection for other dogs. During her visits to the shop, she often chose to lie in Rex’s bed, quietly keeping him warm and tending to him. Watching her care for him, it was impossible not to imagine what a devoted mother she must have been throughout her life.

We felt Rex would benefit from a companion, and Willow seemed to need both a safe place and someone who would ask nothing from her except time. So we welcomed her into our family.

In those early years, Willow lived with us patiently, tolerating our affection but always keeping a respectful distance. She remained cautious, observant, and reserved. Yet with Rex, she took on the role of self-appointed caretaker—whether he welcomed the attention or not.

As time passed, Willow began to understand that she was safe, that we were not there to take from her, and that her boundaries would always be respected. Slowly and gently, she found ways to communicate her love. It was never loud or demanding—Willow was not a barker—but it was steady, intentional, and deeply felt.

In her later years, Willow developed heart and lung complications of her own. She found comfort sitting and sleeping close by me, and especially loved spending her days of retirement stretched out in the sunshine in our courtyard. Anyone who visited the shop knew Willow instantly, often spotting her in one of her many stylish dress harnesses.

Our final years with Willow were a profound gift. To witness her fully open, trust, and love after all she had endured was an honor beyond words. Willow was in our lives over 8 years when she passed. Even now, we still feel her presence and her gentle energy nearby.
