About Us
Kim - Manager
Growing up I have always been obsessed with animals. Literally all of them, furry to slithery. I knew at a young age I wanted to work with animals. Growing up my mom and I would always take in stray dogs and I have never had a time in my life when I didn't have an animal, specifically a dog. when I was 14 I started volunteering at a zoo and when I turned 16 the offered me a job as a big cat animal caretaker. The first nail clip I ever did was on a 300lb tiger. Originally I wanted to go to college to be a zoologist but then I started helping my friend with grooming all her show champion American cocker spaniels and helping family members groom and take care of their dogs. I fell in love with it. It allowed me to be able to embrace my creativity while also still being able to work on animals.
In 2003, when I graduated high school instead of going on to college to become a zoologist, I went to the South Carolina school of dog grooming in Irmo SC to become a certified dog groomer.Grooming went from being a profession for me to being my passion. I've been Grooming for 21 years and I still learn new things and information of the trade by continuing education so I can stay up on the latest trends and techniques.
I love working on these animals and the special bond you have while grooming them. When I am not grooming I am rescuing animals and nursing them to health, particularly reptiles and I also enjoy bonding and play sessions with my 3 dogs. Gemma (Akita/Malinois), Jager (Belgian Malinois) and Taza (Chow Chow).

I am Mom to 6 wonderful kids and Grammy to 8 gorgeous grands. We all have a very strong love for animals , specifically dogs. I am also Mom to 2 spoiled rescues. Hank is the one pictured and is very much a mamas boy. I have always wanted to work with dogs but have up to the last few years been a full time Mom and business owner. As an empty nester I found myself needing something to do that brought the kind of joy to my world that raising my children did. Along came Dilworth Dog Grooming. Both my work family and the fur babies we have the pleasure of spending our days with bring so much joy to my day! I look forward to greeting them every morning and visiting with them throughout the day. I try to find the positive in every day and your fur babies make that easy to do.

I'm Susan and I am a proud pet mom to 2 hound dog rescues, Mickey & Marvin, and 4 horses. I've been grooming 25yrs. Prior to that I worked as a mental health Social Worker. I've been an animal lover my whole life, and have had all types of pets since childhood. I've been involved in pet charities and fund raising for shelter pets over the years. I also advocate for spay/neuter and pet adoption. I've groomed all breeds throughout my career, but I have found so much joy focusing just on the "littles" and the special needs and senior pups in the past few years. Being a grandmother now, I think that you develop that extra patience for those little ones who are sometimes more anxious in such a big "people world." 😊. I love that I'm able to actually be inside the small pet area separated from the larger dogs, so I can interact with the littles during their spa day😊 I'm also very excited about the new coloring trend for pets using safe pet products just for the extra fun! Ask for more details for pet color designs! Grooming at Dilworth is such a fun atmosphere with all the dogs playing and interacting with all the groomers in the open, cage free environment is a dog lovers dream! I look forward to Grooming your little one soon!

My name is Brittany. I have 4 kids ranging from 2 years old to twelve. I also have one dog named Shelby Lynn Rogers. She is a 7 year old German shepherd mix. I have been a professional groomer for 8 years. Grooming has been in my blood before I was born as my late mother was a grooming assistant and my grandmother and aunt being professional groomers for 35+ years. This is not just a job, but a passion and one of the things I feel the most confident doing. I know I am where I am supposed to be. Every dog baby I have at my table gets my full attention and love. I just love all the wiggly butt love and kisses in return in making them feel the most fabulous they can be.
