  • Christian Strother

    Owner

    Professional Cat and Dog Groomer

    Welcome to Emerald Paws Pet grooming Parlor!

    Hello! I'm Christian Strother, and I've been immersed in the world of pet care for over 5 years. For me, it's more than just a profession; it's a genuine passion.

    As a proud dog owner (you might recognize my two furry companions, Ace and Maeve, in our logo), I understand the unique bond we share with our pets. Each one has their own personality, quirks, and needs, which is why I believe in providing personalized care tailored to your pet's individuality.

    My journey in grooming started with professional training in dog grooming, and along the way, I honed my skills in cat grooming under the guidance of an esteemed mentor. But learning doesn't stop there. I'm committed to continuous education, always seeking new techniques and staying ahead of the latest trends to ensure your pet receives the best care possible.

    Step into my grooming parlor, and you'll notice it's a different experience altogether. Here, I prioritize one-on-one attention, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and pampered throughout their visit. You won't find dogs running amok or cramped kennels; instead, it's a sanctuary of luxury and tranquility where your pet can relax and enjoy their grooming experience.

  • Zoe Buis

    Professional Cat and Dog Groomer

    Hi, I’m Zoe Buis! I’ve been a professional pet groomer for over two years, and I absolutely love what I do. As a proud cat and dog owner myself, I understand that our pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. I take great pride in making sure every pet I work with feels comfortable, cared for, and leaves looking their best.

    I began my grooming journey in a professional corporate setting, where I had the incredible opportunity to learn and train under the wonderful owner of Emerald Paws, Christian. When she left to open Emerald Paws, I stepped into the role of Salon Manager. Not long after, I was fortunate to join Christian here at Emerald Paws, where I get to work in a calming, one-on-one environment that ensures each pet receives the attention and care they deserve.

    I’m passionate about continuing to grow in this field, learning alongside Christian, and earning additional certifications through esteemed industry leaders. While I love grooming all breeds of dogs and cats, I’m currently focusing on expanding my skills in breed-specific trims for poodles and exploring the art of Asian fusion grooming. I’m so grateful to be part of a career that lets me care for animals every day and can’t wait to meet your furry family member!
