We’re thrilled to spotlight Bubble Up Dog Wash, a grooming haven created by Danielle Balarezo, a seasoned pet care professional who has been shaping her expertise since 1999. Through years of dedication, from her early days as a vet assistant to running her own dog grooming service out of her home, Danielle’s journey is truly inspiring. After a short break to focus on family, Danielle is back, this time with a brick-and-mortar shop ready to serve Santa Ana’s furry friends with love and care.
Santa Ana: A Place Danielle Calls Home
Having lived in Santa Ana for most of her adult life, Danielle’s roots in the community run deep. Her daughters have grown up attending schools in SAUSD, where she has been a familiar face, contributing to school activities and local events. Santa Ana, to Danielle, is more than just a city; it’s a vibrant community of neighbors, artists, and entrepreneurs who share a unique bond. This deep connection is why she chose to open Bubble Up Dog Wash here, a testament to her commitment to the place she calls home.
A Vision for Santa Ana's Future
Danielle’s dreams for Santa Ana include a future where growth harmonizes with tradition. She envisions a community where the “old and new” thrive side by side, fostering mutual support rather than competition. Danielle hopes that new businesses coming into Santa Ana will embrace the existing culture, learning from the rich diversity and unity that makes this city the heart of Orange County.
Overcoming Challenges with Community Support
Like any small business journey, Danielle’s path wasn’t without its obstacles. Finding the perfect location and navigating construction delays were tough, but support from fellow Santa Ana business owners kept her going. She firmly believes that Santa Ana’s small business community embodies resilience and that this network of encouragement is one of the city’s greatest assets.
What’s New at Bubble Up Dog Wash?
Bubble Up Dog Wash is more than just a grooming salon; it’s evolving into a fun, welcoming space for pets and their owners. Danielle is excited to launch a new stay-and-play service for dogs, allowing them some extra playtime at the new location. Additionally, cat parents, rejoice! Bubble Up Dog Wash will offer exclusive grooming services for felines on the first Saturday of each month—no dogs allowed, so cats can feel completely at ease.
