About PAWS Grooming

Emma first started in the animal industry at Petersen Pet Hospital in 2021 as a veterinary assistant. During her time at Petersen, she also received her dog training certification through Animal Behavioral College. In August of 2023, she successfully completed Kirkwood's Pet Grooming Program. After grooming for several months at Kirkwood after the program, Emma was ready to work closer to home in the community she grew up in. When not at work, she enjoys spending time with family and hiking. At home Emma has two dogs, one cat and two horses. 

Amanda started her grooming career in April of 2024 at Petsmart. She graduated with her grooming certificate from Kirkwood Community College in July of 2025 and is excited to start professional grooming at PAWS. In Amanda's free time, she enjoys riding her horse Mocha and spending time with family and friends. Her extreme love of dogs along with having a special way of connecting with them lead her to pursue a career in pet grooming. Her pets at home include one dog, one horse and two cats.
