Groomer

Dina Grilli, born and raised in Washington, D.C., has dedicated over 25 years to the art of dog grooming, becoming a respected figure in both salon ownership and grooming expertise. From a young age, Dina’s passion for animals was evident, despite growing up in a household that wasn't pet-friendly. Driven by her love for dogs and cats, she would venture around the neighborhood to "borrow" pets for brushing during their owners’ absences, showcasing her early commitment to caring for animals.

At the age of 16, Dina embarked on her professional journey in the pet care industry, landing her first job as a bather while training to become a groomer. She honed her skills at the Maryland School of Dog Grooming, laying a solid foundation for a career that has spanned decades. Now, in 2025 Dina continues to embrace her lifelong passion, grooming pets and ensuring they look their best here at Suds ‘N Scissors LWR

Cats hold a special place in Dina's heart, and she considers grooming them her first love. Throughout her career, she has balanced her professional life with a fulfilling personal life. In her downtime, Dina finds joy at the beach, where she collects shells and sea glass. This creative endeavor has led her to craft unique wind chimes which she joyfully sells on Etsy and local marketplaces.

Dina is also a proud mother to a 23-year-old daughter and shares her home with a lively red heeler, a talkative African grey parrot named Scoobie—who boasts an impressive vocabulary of over 209 words—and three beloved cats: Jill, Sarah, and Stinker. Together, they make up a vibrant and loving family.

During her time in California, Dina contributed her talents to a nonprofit organization where she groomed and cared for King Charles Cavaliers raised to serve as therapy dogs. Caring for up to 70 dogs, she prepared them for visits to nursing homes, where they provided companionship and joy to residents—an experience that filled her with fulfillment and pride.

Additionally, Dina has served as a flight nanny, ensuring that dogs are safely transported to their new homes. Each aspect of her work reflects her deep compassion for animals and her commitment to making a difference in their lives.

Through her decades in the grooming industry and her vibrant personal endeavors, Dina Grilli has established herself as not only a skilled groomer but also a devoted animal lover dedicated to enriching the lives of both pets and people.
