Oasis Pet Styling, first established in 2017, brings you the Upper Hunter’s first & only 5 ☆ Pet Grooming Facility.
The team here, at Oasis Pet Styling, pride ourselves on providing the very best care for dogs, cats & humans, alike. Our team has been trained by some of the best in our Industry & continues to further their education to guarantee you & your pet the best experience possible.
Shavon founded Oasis Pet Styling seven years ago and has since made a mark in competitive grooming, earning numerous awards. Today, she channels her expertise into mentoring aspiring groomers, fostering talent and innovation in the industry. Her dedication to excellence and passion for teaching drive the success of her business and the growth of her team.
Shavon has been in the industry for over 12 years now, as well as having a lifelong background in dogs & everything to do with them! She has worked alongside some of the Hunter Valley’s best groomers, which eventually led her to her opening her own salon in 2017, right here in Singleton.
Being in an industry for so long leads to many areas of growth & passions changing, and Shavon’s desire to continue learning has lead her to a love for felines and is now the Hunter Valley’s only trained Cat Groomer with a Feline exclusive salon. Shavon is currently undertaking exams to become a fully Certified Feline Master Groomer with the National Cat Groomers Institute.
As well as cat grooming, Shavon has recently found a thrill in competition grooming with her Gundog Allegra, the American Cocker Spaniel (who you’ll see collecting the hair off the salon floor with her lush hair!) and scored a 2nd place ribbon in July 2023, a 1st place in November 2023 and with a borrowed dog, another 2nd place ribbon also in November 2023!

You’ll catch Shavon in her own private cat salon 90% of the time now, or if she’s not in the salon, she’s trying to entertain two toddlers, or stay on top of the grooming of her own animals; Mani the Toy Poodle, Allegra the American Cocker, Opie the Rottweiler, Nova & Athena the Siamese and Pookie the Persian.💕
With four years at Oasis Pet Styling, Caitlin excels in Asian Fusion Style, merging classic techniques with creative flair. Her passion for grooming and eye for detail make every pet look and feel their best.

With three years at Oasis Pet Styling, Maddi excels as both a Senior Stylist and Salon Manager. She specialises in Extra Large and double-coated breeds, bringing expertise and care to every grooming session.
Maddi has always been passionate about animals of all species, shapes and sizes which is why she has grown into being such an amazing animal handler, stylist and now salon manager.
While she is the ‘jack-of-all-trades’ and often goes between dog and cat grooming, Mad’s absolutely adores a big, satisfying de-shed, which is why you’ll often find her out the back with all of our Husky, Malamute, Newfy, etc, clients; she loves a challenge when it comes to big,hairy, dirty dogs!

Without Maddi, our days would never run smooth. We’re so blessed and grateful to have such a kind, compassionate and hard working soul amongst our team!
