AboutSix Paws Bath House

At Six Paws Bath House, we believe grooming should be more than a bath and a haircut. Our team combines skilled grooming techniques with gentle care, creating a safe and welcoming environment where every dog looks and feels amazing. From self-service bathing stations to full-service grooming and creative styling, we provide convenience, quality, and comfort under one roof.

Our Story

Six Paws Bath House was founded by Sixtus and Sherri Opara, a husband-and-wife team who share a deep passion for pets. With more than 25 years in grooming and veterinary care, they envisioned a space where pet owners could count on both expertise and compassion.

While dogs enjoy stress-free grooming, their humans can browse our boutique filled with chews, natural treats, and stylish pet apparel — because looking good and feeling good should always go paw in paw.

Cailee Leivan

Lead Groomer

Cailee Leivan has a passion for animals of any kind and started working with them in 2009 showing her dog in 4H and at 12 years old as a junior handler in AKC dog shows. That passion continued as she experienced different environments working with animals such as pet salons, veterinary clinics, volunteering with rescues, and worked as a kennel technician/daycare supervisor at a boarding facility where she learned obedience, agility, and behavior/modification training. Even working along side some of the top dog professionals in the world! Her grooming career started in 2014 where she became a dog bather in a small business and started her apprenticeship, by 2016 and 18 years old she was doing full grooms.

Over the years she has learned that her natural soothing, understanding and unconditional love she provides to each dog she grooms is a gift. Which quantifies her choice that grooming was the correct career choice and mission in her life.

Cailee would love to provide the most enjoyable stress free grooming experience possible for your pet and become a member of your pack.
