Bio of Dawn O’Day Foster
Owner/Operator
Pampered Pets Curbside Grooming Salon & Spa, LLC
After 20 plus years managing non-profit organizations in
the US and Internationally, Dawn wanted a career change and wanted to start her
own business. Her mobile groomer suggested she consider becoming a mobile
groomer. As a dog lover and owner her entire life, Dawn researched the
career/business. She enrolled in Canine Clippers School of Pet Grooming in
Dumfries, Virginia in the fall of 2006 and graduated with honors. In January
2007, she started Pampered Pets Curbside Grooming Salon and Spa, LLC. Dawn has
a Cairn terrier, Honey Bun, and a Cairn terrier mix, Winslow, whose likenesses
she incorporated into her corporate logo design. She added a new member to her
“team” in June 2008, Trevor, a Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix or Morkie.
In the fall of 2008, Dawn launched Pampered Pets Grooming
Accessories featuring bandanas and pet themed jewelry for groomers and pet
lovers to purchase. Please visit the Bandana and Accessories pages on this
website to purchase these items. Dawn also exhibits her handmade items at Groom
Expo in Hershey, Pennsylvania. She participates in local craft shows and
festivals as well as online.
She is married to Mike and they have a son, Sean, who
graduated from West Virginia University in 2008. Dawn holds a B.A. in Applied
Behavioral Science from National Lewis University. She is a member of the
National Dog Groomers Association of America. When not grooming or making
jewelry she enjoys playing golf, yoga and her book club. However, her favorite
pastime is curling up with Honey Bun, Winslow and Trevor on the sofa in the
evenings to read, bead, sew and watch television.
