Ryan Foster - Owner & Pet Stylist
In 2009, Ryan decided to attend grooming school to pursue a career in the pet grooming industry. Shortly after completion of the program, Ryan decided to open Mission Bay Pet Salon and Wash. He felt that his love of animals and his passion of interacting with people would be something that he could bring to Pacific Beach and neighboring communities. Since opening their doors in 2010, Mission Bay Pet Salon has groomed thousands of dogs and cats and has built a strong reputation as a clean, safe and inviting atmosphere for both the owners and their pets.
Ryan is married to his wife Sue and together they have two Siberian Huskies, Juneau and Togo. They enjoy going to dog beach, riding their bikes and eating sushi. They have been Pacific Beach residents since 2007.

Haemi Choi, aka Hem, has over 13 years dog grooming experience. She received her formal training in Korea where she became a licensed dog groomer through a grooming school. She specializes in hand scissoring and dealing with difficult dogs. “When your dog comes under my care, it’s time to wash away the old, and create a brand new look. Its make over time!” When Hem is not busy grooming, she enjoys spending time with her husband Duke. They love watching movies, visiting new places and of course eating their favorite food, sushi!

Cecilia Arner, who goes by C.C, moved here from Mobile, Alabama straight out of college where she graduated with a degree in Art. She stumbled into the grooming world and found that she could use her artistic skills with animals.
C.C has been grooming for over 7 years and has incredible scissoring skills. She forms a very close bond with the dogs she grooms, and loves them like they were her own. She works with all breeds and loves creating new and stylish haircuts when given the opportunity.
She loves working with animals so much that when she isn’t grooming, you can find her out walking dogs and even pet sitting. She also has a four legged son named Tito, who is a handsome little pug.
Although her schedule is pretty busy, C.C still finds time to follow her passion of painting. She has been in a number of local art shows, where you can find artworks ranging from local scenes in San Diego to pet portraits. CC has a dog, Tito a Boston Terrier.
Pam Riggen, is a former Boise, Idaho resident who recently moved to the Pacific Beach to be with her high school sweetheart. Pam is the mother of two beautiful daughters, the oldest is currently attending the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and the youngest is pursuing a nursing degree at the College of Southern Idaho.
Having had experience in a veterinary clinic and spending over twenty years in the medical field, Pam has found the best in both fields while working at Mission Bay Pet Salon, an opportunity to provide great service to our community and meet so many wonderful four legged friends. Pam hopes to, in the very near future, manage a small farm and care for teeny tiny goats and fat chickens.
In her off time, Pam enjoys bicycling to the beach, boogie boarding the waves and riding in the wind with her man on the back of a Harley.
