Unusual even for seasoned groomers, Sarah Sullivan has been grooming since she was a child. Her mother, an accountant, groomed dogs as a side profession and Sarah began helping her by bathing. When she expressed an interest in grooming, her mother taught her. Featherle Pet Care is delighted to welcome her to our Sterling Salon. Born and raised in Pittsburg, Sarah also lived in North Carolina before moving to Centreville in March 2008. She has a little girl, Isabelle (Bella) born in 2006, and an older brother who is training to be a policeman. Her other interest, besides animals and family, is film. She’s watches all genres and enjoys critiquing the films she watches. She’s also interested in physical fitness and spent 15 years as a gymnast. Sarah’s favorite dogs are Poodles; while growing up, there was always a Standard Poodle living at home and she loves everything about them: the whole package. Currently, she lives with her Bichon, ‘Diogee’.

Sarah’s takes great pride in her work and also takes the time to understand what the pet owner is looking for in pet styling. Her greatest satisfaction is a happy dog who knows he looks good and wants everyone else to know by prancing to show off a new style. Her best advice to pet owners is to remember to take good care of your pets and not wait too long to attend to their needs because, after all, they depend on us! Sarah married Kevin Sullivan in September 2009. Kevin works as a painter at Craftsman Auto Body Shop in Chantilly, just across the street from Featherlea.
