✦ The One Who Started It All

Linda G.

Co-Founder & Managing Partner · Cat Whisperer

Thirty years of knowing exactly what your pet needs — before they tell you.

Linda built Bark & Purr from the ground up because she believed Allen, TX deserved a grooming salon that actually saw each pet as an individual. Not a number, not a time slot — a family member who deserves real care.

As our resident cat specialist, Linda has a gift that's almost impossible to explain. The cats who've "never been groomed without drama"? They settle right in with her. She reads their body language, slows everything down, and meets them exactly where they are.

"I didn't open a grooming salon. I opened a place where pets feel safe and PAWrents feel proud."

— Linda G., Co-Founder & Managing Partner

When she's not in the Zen Den, Linda is building the future of pet care — mentoring her team, expanding the Academy, and dreaming up what comes next for the Bark & Purr family.
