WisePup Grooming, LLC
Marissa began her professional grooming career in 2007 working with a local veterinarian.
In 2015 Marissa declared the business “WisePup” as a play on our last name “Wisecup”. From 2015-2020 she offered in-home grooming services.
In 2020 she invested in a mobile grooming salon to offer full service curbside grooming.
Since then WisePup has grown to three full-time mobile groomers prepared to serve the Iowa corridor.
Marissa
Marissa is not only a committed mother, she has a deep love for all of God’s creatures, which includes taking care of her goats, pigs, turkeys, chickens, cats, dogs and sugar gliders.
When Marissa is not caring for all the living things she surrounds herself with she enjoys playing her violin.
Lexi
Lexi loves being outdoors and spending time with her family and friends - including her very own puppies. Lexi enjoys staying active and regularly plays volleyball.
”I have always known I wanted to work with animals since I was younger which eventually led me to major as a Humane Officer. What I enjoy most about working with animals is knowing that I’m helping them not only look better but feel better. I can always tell when I see them smiling afterwards that they are feeling better and are happier after their groom. It also gives me a sense of satisfaction when my clients are happy with how their dog’s groom turned out.”
Savanna
Savanna’s love for animals began early with showing pigs in high school - which led to her pursing an education in agricultural production swine management. After her experiences caring for sows with ultrasounds and helping birth their piglets she has a lasting love for swine. Savanna likes to stay active with roller skating and honing her horticulture skills.
Savanna is committed to expanding her knowledge of grooming - she is currently focused on learning more about skin and coat care.
“I love grooming because I get to communicate with clients while making their pups pretty. I enjoy communicating with clients about their pets' needs and I love the connections that are shared within mobile grooming as I get to see clients’ personalities in a comfortable environment.”
