Why Em's Grooming & Boarding??
Not Your Typical Grooming Experience
At Em's Pet Grooming and Boarding one household is scheduled at a time to ensure a thoroughly detailed and personalized groom designed specifically to YOUR pet(s). While appointment durations vary on size, breed, services done, and more - no groom is rushed and is entirely set to your pet's pace! All grooming is done with love and positive encouragement (+ loads of peanut butter). I will not preform ANY services that may cause your pet severe stress or nervousness (for these types of pets, multiple grooming appointments may be required to build your pet's confidence).

Your Pup's Personalized Vacation
Free-roam of the house - because no vacation should be spent in a kennel. Since every dog is different, every boarding is different as well! Allow your pup to socialize with other dog(s) or be the only over-night guest! Fill your dog's days with couch cuddles or many engaging activities, such as; ball-pit fun, tug-of-war, water fun (weather permitted), bubble popping, arts & crafts, etc (full list of activities on boarding tab). Send your pup to a dog park or a fun hike! Let your pup enjoy cozy movie nights (with snacks of course) after fun-fill days, and play with diverse options of toys (kongs, jigglerz, squeakers, stuffies, bones, etc)! Receive daily videos/pictures of memories being made. Did I mention your dog(s) can receive a free nail trim, brush-out, bath, and dry out (+ 50% off additional grooming) during their stay?

Whether your pup is a nervous-nelly, a social butterfly, or is different in their own way - Em's home and heart welcomes them all.
I look forward to meeting you and your fur-family. EST. 2020
About Me
Hey there, how are you? My name is Emma and I am 26 years old. I am currently a mother of 3 cats, 2 dogs, and an 8-year old (human) daughter.
I've spent my entire life caring for animals, quite literally. Starting at my first foster home (at age 6) on a small farm, carrying that passion with with me to every foster home I encountered. After I had gotten adopted, my knowledge and love for (specifically dogs) animals continued growing at a rapid rate. I wanted to share my passion, experience and admiration - alas, every afternoon before dinner I hosted tiny seminars for the neighborhood kids+my siblings, educating them on dog-behavior, breeds, and more.
My career with animals started when I was 12 years old; I worked overnights at O'Sullivan Farms watching mares and cared for the neighborhood farm. I eventually worked in the veterinary field and studied online through PennFoster. I loved working in the vet field so much, I started fostering dogs from Fairfax Animal Shelter and soon dipped my toe in the grooming industry. I want to change the standard protocols a lot of businesses have- which led to the idea of creating my own grooming & boarding; where a groom or a stay can be a positive experience that not only promotes a healthy & flawless coat but also a happy & confident pup.
Also, I just really love dogs.
