Groomer
Kathleen’s first rescue dog, Dobby, brought her into the world of grooming and she hasn’t looked back since. He taught her quickly that there is a lot to grooming a dog! She decided to get trained properly at her local pet store as a bather and grooming trainee. From that point on, her passion for grooming dogs has just continued to grow!
Now 4 years of full-time grooming later, she loves spending her time one-on-one with the dogs in her care. She strives to communicate with each pet owner effectively to ensure their dog gets the desired look. She wants all the clients to feel their dogs are loved and that she will care for them like they are her own.
She looks forward to meeting new dogs and their parents and welcoming back her loyal clients at Miam’s Pets.
