Our Mission

KRISTA

Owner/Lead Groomer

I'm Krista, the lead groomer of Raleigh Grooming Co. and I've been grooming since 2012! I have two sweet dogs of my own, a Boston terrier named Dozer and a Pit mix named Darla.

You can find me hiking, traveling to all sorts of places, laying in the sun like a lizard, and giving smooches to all of your dogs!!

I discovered my passion for grooming while I was in college. I graduated with my degree in social work but I had already fallen in love with my grooming life and after graduation I could not turn away from it. This prompted me to pursue a career in it, which led me down the road to eventually becoming an entrepreneur.

I began my career at PetSmart, and over the next few years, I tried a few private salons and vet offices. None of them felt quite right until I started grooming on my own. At first, I began with Grooms by Krista, a solo business venture that flourished. I rediscovered my love for grooming when I was able to make my own decisions.

I was able to take a more personal approach with each dog and family, without worrying about  meeting goals set by a company. This gave me the time to get to know my clients better and provide a more wholesome service. I have grown to love pet grooming in a new way, my way, which has motivated me to open my own formal salon, following the guidelines that have worked so well for my solo adventure!
