Hi everyone!! I thought I’d take a few minutes to introduce myself to some of the new pet parents here!
✨my name is christa! I have two dogs (charlie- my recent tripawd and beacon) and a late kitty (her name was scruffers). I have been grooming for close to 15 years now 😅 I started as a bather as I attended college. Loved it so much that I took some time off from school and went to grooming academy. After some time, I graduated with my bachelors in nutrition science from Russel Sage. I loved nutrition but I felt grooming was my calling so I dove head first in to it! I have managed salons, worked under others, spent a few years at a wonderful vet clinic as their groomer, and then in 2019 I opened my own salon! It was extremely successful with some of the best clients and two wonderful employees. In 2022 I made the difficult decision to close down and move back to the Hudson valley.
Two years ago i took a job opportunity as a nutritionist for Columbia and Greene county WIC while i built roots and a house here. So, Monday through Friday you’ll notice I don’t offer day time grooming appointments because I’m helping the community’s pregnant, infants, and children populations.
In april my house was finished being built! Inside I added on a full functioning grooming salon as I very much have missed being with dogs and cats. So, if you choose to use Pawsitively dapper, I am able to provide kennel free, home feel grooming to you and your pet during non traditional hours with the luxury result of a traditional salon.
Please feel free to text or message me (text is best) if you ever have any questions!
