Welcome friends! It’s taken a minute to get this page together, but it’s finally here!
My name is Kate and I am your new local dog groomer! I moved up to the western slope about 7 years ago from the Denver metro area to be closer to my mom. Unfortunately, she passed away last July from a long battle with Ovarian cancer. Before she passed I talked with her about all my dreams and this one, wasn’t one of them.
Yep, you heard me right…this one wasn’t one of them!
So, how did I get here? Well, two years ago we adopted the sweetest little Cavapoo named Lilly. She came to us from a friend and we took her in and she instantly become part of the family. Not sure what a Cavapoo is - it’s a mix between a King Charles Cavalier and a Poodle. Lilly is 7 years old and loves popcorn 🍿 and cuddling with her daddy (my husband). When we got her we had the hardest time finding a groomer. At that point in time we had talked about starting our own grooming business because we needed one and couldn’t find one. Then one day we met Miss Janie. Lilly loved seeing Miss Janie and would come home so beautifully groomed. Then one day Miss Janie broke the news that she would be moving. We didn’t know what we were going to do. I reached out to her and asked her if she could walk me through grooming and how I would go about learning to become a groomer. She graciously met with me and my husband and spent a couple hours chatting with us and giving me all the directions I didn’t know I needed.
Shortly after that I invested in all the equipment for grooming and started practicing! Shortly after that, we adopted Marino! He is 4 months old and came from a friend. He was the last of his litter and I just happened to stumble onto him needing a home. So with some batting of my lashes and being the cutest wife I could be, I convinced my husband to let me get him. 🤣
So now we have two dogs 🐩 and I have been practing for a couple of months now! I truly believe that God placed this opportunity in front of me for a reason, and I am so glad He did. I am over the moon excited to be here and I welcome you to reach out to me with any questions!
I can’t wait to welcome you and your fur baby to LilRino’s Paw Spa 🐾
