Meet Tosha â a certified groomer and the one behind Rufflections Pet Grooming
Every wagging tail. Every sassy cat. Every nervous pup learning the grooming ropes. Tosha loves them all. She even has a soft spot for the special needs, grumpy seniors, and rehab pups who need a little extra patience and understanding. For the past 13 years, sheâs poured every ounce of her passion and care into making Rufflections a place where pets arenât just groomed⌠theyâre treated like family.
Tosha has taken the stage at grooming competitions across the U.S., earning multiple awards along the wayâincluding an international win sheâll never forget. But itâs her commitment to education and raising industry standards that truly sets her apart. As Vice President of the Virginia Professional Pet Groomers Association, she works to mentor and inspire other groomers, teaching on everything from safe handling and salon best practices to mental health in the grooming industry. She even teaches pet CPR and first aid, helping professionals and pet owners alike keep the animals in their care safer.
As someone with AuDHD, Tosha understands firsthand how demanding this field can beânot just physically but mentally. Thatâs why sheâs so passionate about supporting other groomersâ well-being and building a culture where taking care of yourself is just as important as caring for the pets we love.
Her philosophy? Simple. Every dog and cat deserves patience, kindness, and the highest standard of care. Thatâs what drives Rufflections every single day.
Tosha may not always have a big smile on her face (donât let the RBF fool you), but her passion for her work and her love for every pet that visits the salon speaks louder than words. Sheâs here to make your pets look and feel amazingâbecause at Rufflections, itâs all about them.
