My Story

Hej,

 

I’m Nova, the head groomer and owner of BjörnBear.

 

I was born in Stockholm and spent the majority of my childhood and teenage years in the Swedish countryside.

 

With my best friend Dexter, the cutest Portuguese water dog ever, by my side, we often ventured into nearby forests and lakes brimming with wildlife. Being surrounded by nature during my formative years inspired a deep affection for all animals, and I knew from a young age that working with and caring for them would be my calling.

 

Arriving in Canada marked the beginning of a new and meaningful Chapter in my life.

 

Although it took some time to get the ball rolling; with support from my partner, and some serendipity, I was able to start my own pet grooming business! It brings me joy, pride, and satisfaction every day, because I’ve realized my aspirations of working with animals as a profession.

BjörnBear

BjörnBear, named after our Bernadoodle, is a pet grooming studio located in downtown Toronto (Little Italy), offering high-quality, in-home grooming services to local residents.

 

Our mission is to foster a comfortable, cage-free, and low-stress grooming environment, akin to a pet’s own home.

 

We blend the comfortability and familiarity of a home with the grooming quality of a professional studio. All pets are able to enjoy a completely cage-free experience, as we never overcrowd our studio space. From start to finish, every pup receives one-on-one care, by either myself or my assistant Ava. In addition, we have a fully fenced-in, dog-friendly backyard, directly accessible from the studio.
