Our Story

How Mama T's came to be

Mama T's Pet Parlor & Boarding - Professional Dog Grooming

Mama T's Pet Parlor & Boarding was born from a lifelong passion for dogs and a dream to create a place where pets could receive loving, professional care. Founded by Tammy Livermore (known affectionately as "Mama T"), our business began as a small grooming operation and has grown into a full-service pet care facility serving the Hersey, MI area and beyond.

With over 15 years of experience in pet care, Tammy noticed a need in the community for quality, compassionate dog grooming and boarding services. Many pet parents were looking for a place where their furry family members would be treated with the same love and care they receive at home.

What sets Mama T's apart is our genuine love for animals and our commitment to providing personalized care for each dog. We understand that every pet has unique needs and preferences, and we take the time to get to know each furry friend who comes through our doors.

Today, Mama T's continues to grow, but we remain committed to our founding principles: providing exceptional service in a loving environment where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.
