Didi
Dog Groomer
Hi, my name is Didi. Ever since I was young, I’ve had a connection with dogs and have been able to calm them when no one else could. I’ve been grooming for 15 years and have decided this is a career that I am passionate about and love.
The joy I bring a pet parent when they see their pet once I am done, makes my day. I take pride in my work and pay attention to detail to always have the best results. I look forward to building a connection with you and your pet.
