Rhonda Murray is the owner and operator of Rhonda’s Wags and Wiggles LLC, and the heart and hands behind every grooming appointment. Grooming since 2010, Rhonda brings over 16 years of experience to each dog she cares for — and she’s truly living her dream doing what she loves most.

Originally from Brainerd and now proudly based in Zimmerman, Rhonda is a Certified Professional Groomer with CPR certification and specialized knowledge in handling behavioral challenges and dog training. Her calm, patient approach helps even the most anxious pups feel safe and cared for.

Rhonda takes immense pride in her clients and believes every dog deserves her full, undivided attention. That’s why she offers exclusive, one-on-one grooming appointments — no other dogs, no distractions. This allows Rhonda to focus completely on your dog’s comfort, safety, and individual needs, creating a calmer and more personalized grooming experience.

Animals have always been a huge part of Rhonda’s life. At home, she’s surrounded by her own furry (and hooved!) family:
ZeZe (8) and Rosie (1) the dachshunds, Nika (8) the Malamute/Russian Bear Dog, cats KitKat (7), Heaven (1), and Onyx (1) — plus Sami, her beloved 18-year-old horse.

When she’s not grooming, Rhonda enjoys photography, cheering on the Seattle Seahawks, spending time with her daughter August, and volunteering her services to local animal rescues.

Rhonda’s Wags and Wiggles operates out of a brand-new, energy-efficient building and uses all-natural grooming products to provide pets with the safest, highest-quality care possible. Every appointment is handled personally by Rhonda, with compassion, expertise, and genuine love — because to her, pets are family.
