One Dog At A Time
Kelly Forde is a former bartender turned mobile groomer. She says she'd rather get bit by a dog than deal with drunk people and who can possibly blame her? Dogs are way better company than drunks, no doubt.
Kelly is also the owner/operator of Lots O'Paws Mobile Dog Grooming in Northern Virginia. She's been serving Manassas, Bristow, Haymarket, and Front Royal, Virginia's dog-friendly families for years now and has won great recognition from the local pet loving community for her quality care and commitment to "making the world a more beautiful place, one dog at a time."
In this episode, Isabel digs into what it takes to establish and run a mobile grooming service. She asks Kelly about her grooming trailer, equipment, and more. Kelly doesn't hold back and even shares the pet peeves she deals with on a daily basis when working with - not the pets - but the pet parents. An open book, Kelly gives us a lesson on all she has learned since becoming Northern Virginia's premiere mobile groomer.
BIO:
My name is Kelly Forde and I have been a certified dog groomer since January of 2012. I've worked for big pet companies and in a private salon. At this time I have room to accommodate dogs up to about 50 lbs. I schedule by appointment only but have very flexible hours. I am a member of NDGAA and keep up with the latest and greatest in the grooming world by attending seminars and classes regularly. I love what I do and want nothing more than to make your pup clean, refreshed, and beautified!
