Groomer – Elite Pups Spa and Boutique

Hi! My name is Amanda.
I am originally from the Raleigh area, but have lived in Wilmington for a few years now. I have always loved animals ever since I was little, and I started working in a grooming shop in Raleigh when I was 15. My sister was a groomer there, and she taught me how to bathe and prep dogs for her. Eventually, she taught me how to groom as well and I have been doing it ever since! I have worked both in private, smaller salons as well as large corporate shops. I grew up with an English Springer Spaniel, and now have two dogs of my own- Sophie and Tank (who require very little grooming!) I am a huge advocate for rescuing and adopting dogs, and I have a special place in my heart for the “bully” breeds. I love grooming because you get to meet all different types of dogs and people, and every day brings a new challenge. It’s also fun to make dogs look and feel beautiful!
