The person behind the care
Meet Destini
Destini Clapp is the owner and personal caregiver behind Barks Baths & Beyond. She brings more than five years of animal experience, former veterinary-technician work, and multiple grooming and animal-care certifications to her private salon and boarding business.
The idea behind the business
A grooming relationship kept intentionally personal
Barks Baths & Beyond grew around a simple priority: give the dog in front of Destini her individual attention. Owners communicate with Destini directly, share the details that matter, and hear from the same person who will help plan the visit.
That direct relationship shapes her private-salon grooming, one-family-at-a-time boarding, creative services, and mobile appointments. It also means a website request begins a conversation—it does not place a dog into an automatic schedule.
Credentials provided by Destini
Destini’s certifications and animal-care experience
Animal massage, Reiki & red light
Destini also provided credentials in animal massage, animal Reiki, and red-light care for optional wellness-style services.
Former veterinary-technician experience
Her former veterinary-technician work informs the questions she asks and the details she watches, while grooming and spa services remain separate from veterinary care.
Why one-on-one care matters
Destini’s motto is “gentle grooming for every stage of life.” One-on-one salon care gives her a clear point of focus: the dog in front of her and the information their owner has shared.
Owners can describe coat condition, preferred finish, age, mobility, injury context, behavior, routine, or handling concerns. Destini uses that information to discuss the grooming package and any optional massage or spa care that may be appropriate.

How communication works
Clear expectations before care begins
From the first text or form request, you can explain what you are looking for and what Destini should know about your dog. If you are unsure which grooming path fits, asking for guidance is a valid place to start.
Destini reviews the dog, service, location, timing, and care notes before confirming the next step. No unreviewed request is presented as a booked appointment or boarding stay.
