Rorick and Diane Ward, Owners of Soggy Doggy L.L.C. After living in homes in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Placitas, we moved to our home in Cedar Crest 4.5 years ago, and we love it here! Rorick previously ran a business called DynaMo’s Blasting for 9 years, but to reduce stress and improve our quality of life, we decided to start a business centered around something we both adore – DOGS! An amazing opportunity arose, allowing us to work so close to home in Tijeras, NM, at a location that’s near and dear to our hearts (our dogs were High Plains Clipper customers). Thus, we opened SOGGY DOGGY in October! We will be in this lovely location until March 31, 2026, after which we will move to our permanent location in Edgewood. We are excited to offer pet boarding services and dog behavior modification, along with top-notch pet grooming. We look forward to taking special care of your beloved pets and hope to establish wonderful, long-term relationships! With gratitude for your patronage – THANK YOU FOR JOINING THE SOGGY DOGGY FAMILY!

Erin’s love for animals runs deep—rooted in her upbringing in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, where compassion, hard work, and community were a way of life. Over the past 20+ years, Erin has dedicated her life to animal rescue, rehabilitation, and professional grooming, helping thousands of beloved pets look and feel their very best while also finding forever homes for those in need.
As a highly experienced, multi-certified professional groomer, Erin brings not only skill and precision, but patience and empathy to every grooming session. She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, giving her a unique ability to understand animal behavior, ease anxiety, and create a calm, positive experience—especially for nervous or special-needs pets. Your fur baby is never “just another appointment” to Erin; they are treated with the same care and respect as her own.
Erin made the heartfelt decision to leave her rescue and grooming shop in North Carolina to relocate to New Mexico, where she could be closer to her young grandchildren—bringing with her decades of experience, an impeccable reputation, and a lifelong commitment to animal well-being.
Beyond grooming, Erin is a true renaissance spirit. She has performed professionally as a musician—providing backup vocals, flute, and percussion for the band Little Horse—and enjoys outdoor adventures like kayaking, even winning the New River kayak race in 2021. This blend of creativity, discipline, and passion shines through in everything she does.
When you choose Erin as your groomer, you’re choosing:
20+ years of hands-on grooming expertise
A lifelong animal rescuer and advocate
Behavior-aware, stress-reducing care
Gentle handling with professional results
Someone who truly treats your pet like family
Erin doesn’t just groom pets—she builds trust, comfort, and lasting relationships with both animals and their humans. Your fur baby couldn’t be in better hands.

Bringing your pet to Soggy Doggy ensures they receive top-tier care in a stress-free environment designed specifically for their comfort. Whether you choose their full-service grooming—where certified experts provide personalized attention to breed-specific needs—or their convenient self-serve wash stations with waist-high tubs to save your back, the focus is always on your pet's well-being. Beyond just looking and smelling great with high-quality products. Regular visits help with the early detection of health issues, reduce shedding, and maintain healthy paws through professional nail trimming and grinding. With a reputation for treating every dog like "royalty," Soggy Doggy transforms what can be a chore at home into a bonding, spa-like experience for your furry friend.

Going out of town for an extended period? Our pet boarding services provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry friends. While you're away, your pet will receive plenty of love and attention, and if needed, we also offer dog behavior modification and pet grooming to ensure they are happy and well cared for.
