Giovanna

Groomer

I’m a passionate dog groomer who recently earned my grooming certificate this year. It’s my first year working at Ruff Cuts and  My journey with Ruff Cuts is extra special because my own dog, Shea  has been a client there since he was  a puppy for 16 years . Now, I’m so excited to be on the other side of the grooming table and to turn my lifelong love for animals into a career!

I’ve always had a natural love for dogs and dreamed of working with them. I’m a proud dog person with a special soft spot for every pup that walks through the doors. My best friend and biggest inspiration is my dog, Shea , a Maltese-Lhasa Apso mix. While I love all breeds, I have a special love for German Shepherds, Dobermans, Cane Corsos, and Dachshunds—and, of course, I’ll always have a soft spot for Maltese!

As a newer groomer, I’m dedicated to continuing to learn, grow, and perfect my craft. I believe every dog deserves to feel comfortable, cared for, and look their absolute best. I take pride in creating a positive grooming experience and treating every dog as if they were my own.

There’s nothing better than seeing a pup come in looking a little shaggy and leave feeling fresh, clean, confident, and ready to show off their new look! I truly love watching each dog’s transformation and knowing I played a part in helping them look and feel their best.

I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members and make every grooming visit a tail-wagging experience.

Groomer

Hi my name is Brittany, and I am a receptionist here at Ruff Cuts! I just love seeing all of the fur babies coming in and leaving fabulous! Though I don’t have a dog of my own, growing up I’ve always had one. I currently have 2 black kitties at home and 2 beautiful daughters. My favorite part about being around all of the doggos is the energy and being able to work in an upbeat and positive fun environment!

Bather/Stylist

As an animal lover, i’ve been working with animals all my life, and my initial grooming experience was centered around horses and goats! I started dog grooming early 2023, started at Ruff Cuts December 2024 and I’ve loved doing it ever since. I am also a college student currently studying environmental science and in my free time I enjoy hiking and reading. As for  favorite breeds if I had to pick  greyhounds, dachshunds and american bull dogs hold a special place in my heart. Many people in my family love animals and it has been passed on through generations of knowledge and care. Sending pups home feeling and looking great is always the highlight of my day.

Stylist

I began my career bathing dogs for a daycare in Pleasantville, NY, in 2003. In 2006, I decided to learn grooming and enrolled at The New York School of Dog Grooming. I started grooming part-time and have loved it ever since. In 2012, I was honored to be named Best Dog Groomer of the Year by Westchester Magazine.

I share my home with my husband, six cats, and my Chow/Shar Pei mix named Baby. My love for animals drives me to be the best I can in this field, working with clients to ensure their pets look and feel amazing. My favorite breeds to groom are Poodles and Springer Spaniels.

Liz

Owner & Lead Stylist

I began my career as a dog groomer in 2008 and joined Ruff Cuts Dog Salon & Boutique in October 2012. Since January 2019, I’ve proudly owned the salon. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially horses, dogs, and birds. Coming from a family of avid animal lovers, I grew up with German Shepherds and any stray dog my parents would let me bring home.

I have an Australian Shepherd named Lucy, who accompanies me to work every day. I’m also a single mom to two young women in college. One of the best parts of my job is seeing dogs I’ve groomed for over 10 years and maintaining great relationships with their families.

My favorite dogs to groom are Poodles and Doodles.

I love grooming all breeds and mutts alike, although I have a soft spot for terriers.
