About Our Groomer
My name is Melissa Knecht, I've been a dog groomer for 17 years. I got my start in the grooming profession by grooming my own rescue dog and also helping at shelters in Maryland. From the moment I started working with animals I knew I was on the right career path, I pride myself in my general pet knowledge and knowledge of dog breeds. During my career I have apprenticed with hands-on training under three seasoned groomers in the DC metro area. I do my best to keep on the cutting edge of grooming trends by attending grooming conventions for continuing education. I'm a proud owner of a few rescue animals, and I also believe rescues are the most rewarding pets to have as members of your family. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I am certified by the American Red Cross in pet first aid and CPR.
