Kathy Ward
Co-Owner/Groomer
Hello. I am co-owner to Lil Bit. I am looking forward to getting to know our Lil Family. It brings me great joy to give a pup a relaxing spaw day. I take a holistic approach to grooming. I aim to create a stress free environment to promote the health of your pet's body and mind.
I have been grooming for 7+ years. I joined this industry after decades working in child development.
I strive to treat your fur baby with kindness and compassion while in my care.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, parents and dogs. We enjoy all sports with college football at the top of the list, but have been known to watch corn hole too.
Heather Larson
Co-Owner/Groomer
Hi! I am a Graduate of Gonzaga University (GO ZAGS) with a degree in Business Management . I am married and have 3 amazing (almost grown) children (GO COUGS!), 2 dogs, 1 fish and 2 Geckos! I've spent the last 10 years as the owner/operator of a mobile grooming business. Prior to that, I spent 15 years working in insurance and building a family. Being co-owner of Lil Bit of Grooming Salon with my partner Kathy is a dream come true! Our team of experienced and talented animal lovers fit perfectly with our vision to provide a safe, kind, low stress environment for your furbaby while in our care! Outside of work I enjoy concerts, comedy, camping, boating and loving on every dog I come across! I have always had a passion for animals and having the opportunity to spend my day with your pets is a blessing!
Kim
Groomer
Hello, I have been working with dogs for 4 years. I started at a dog trainer and then I joined Lil Bit of Grooming. Here I have worked as a receptionist, bather and now groomer. I really enjoy color dying dogs' fur and giving them a fun look. It's always been a dream of mine to be able to work with dogs. I am lucky to have found my career in life.
Tues - Sat. 8:00-4:00

I'm a Spokane Native and I've been in the grooming industry for over 10 years. I thrive on building relationships with both canine and human clients. My favorite fur client to groom is Doodles. On my days off you'll find me hiking with my two pups or at Lowe's planning our my next house project. You'll never see me work a Sunday (GO SEAHAWKS!!). I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Erin
Bather
My name is is Erin! I’m an experienced animal care professional with over 8 years of hands-on experience working with dogs and small animals. Throughout my career, I’ve gained expertise in various areas, including dog boarding, daycare, veterinary medicine, and grooming. With a deep love for all animals, big and small, I’m currently focusing on grooming and aspiring to perfect hair coloring techniques for dogs.
At home, I’m a proud pet parent to four dogs and two cats. I love spending time with my outgoing fiancé as well! Outside of my professional life, I’m passionate about art, particularly illustration and animation, and enjoy drawing in my free time. A fan of Studio Ghibli films and cartoons, I also dabble in modeling during my off time, embracing creativity in all forms.
