Meet the Owner – Kelly Belcher-Hauk

Bark-N-Bubbles began as a dream and became a passion-fueled reality. I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals—grooming, learning, and building hands-on experience across the pet care industry. Over the years, I had the opportunity to work side-by-side with two highly respected professional groomers. One was a renowned AKC judge who also owned a successful kennel, and the other groomed for Team USA. I worked for each of them for several years, gaining valuable skills, insight, and inspiration that helped shape me into the groomer and business owner I am today.

Born and raised in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, I’ve always had a deep connection to animals and a strong work ethic rooted in local community values. Before opening Bark-N-Bubbles in 2013, I also worked at Tufts Animal Hospital and several other local animal hospitals. These experiences gave me a deep understanding of animal health and behavior, and helped shape the high standards of care we follow today.

I knew it was time to create something of my own—a place where pets are treated like family, and their comfort, happiness, and safety are always the top priority.

I’ve personally raised and loved five Great Danes, a Frenchie, and several horses, so when I say I understand animals, I truly live it every single day. My life has always been centered around their care and well-being, and that passion is what drives everything we do here at Bark-N-Bubbles.
