Rachel Diller

Owner, Groomer | NCMG & CFMG

Hi everyone! I have been involved with animals since I can remember. It started with what I could sneak into my room at a young age (lizards, fish, frogs, chinchillas, birds – you name it, I’ve probably owned it!). Working in the pet industry has been such a pleasure. I’ve worked for Joe Markham, owner of the Kong Company. Mentored under George Alston, who was one of the top handlers for AKC conformation events. Trained under Danelle German, at the only school in the world for Cat Grooming, NCGIA. Managed several premiere boarding kennels, some holding well over 180 dogs and 40 cats. Worked with prestigious dog trainers, volunteered my time with many AKC All Breed Clubs, have been on the board of Colorado Professional Pet Groomers Association and Rocky Mountain Mastiff Fancier’s group. I am a National Certified Master Groomer and a Certified Master Feline Groomer. Competing and staying current with industry trends is at the top of my list. I have close friends in every breed and have mentored under them to become the skilled groomer I am today. It has been a wonderful unfolding of experiences.

I’ve been breeding English Mastiffs since 1998 under the name Magnum Mastiffs.  I am a huge advocate of health testing, proper rearing and what is produced down the line.  Unless pups go to an approved conformation show home, they are strictly on a Limited Registration and required to spay or neuter.  You may see one of these guys on your visit to the shop!  I’m also very excited that in 2018 & 2019 my pup from Marbles was the #1 Mastiff in America!  That is unbelievable and I am so proud of his owners! Cash is a littermate to my oldest girl, Arai.  Currently, I have 6 Mastiffs and 1 foster pup (more like fostering permanently).  A Mastiff Mix named Bella. She is approaching 14 years and is the sweetest girl.  You can see more of my crew on Instagram @magnummastiffs.

Other animals in my life over the years: English Springer Spaniels (sister has shown and has had many) German Shepherds, Chow Chows, Afghan Hounds, Persians, Oriental Shorthairs and Siamese.

Grace Tedesco

Groomer

Hello my name is Grace and I am 25 years old. I am originally from São Paulo, Brazil. I have a Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix named Bowie, a Shih Tzu named Molly and an Eclectus Parrot named Lowanna. I went to grooming school in São Paulo where I spent 6 intensive months learning the dog anatomy, breed patterns as well as their behavior. I moved to Denver in 2018, I studied English at the CSU-Pueblo and at the New American College. Opened my own mobile grooming business in the same year. I’m passionate about what I do, I’m always excited to learn a new technique. My goal is to make grooming an stress-free experience.

Amy Kish

Dog & Cat Groomer

Amy came to us as a whoopersnapper.  She has only been grooming about 2 years.  We found out she had 4 cats, asked her to try her hand at cat grooming and she found yet another niche.  We’re excited to see how she grows and are very happy she joined both teams.
