About Featherle Pet Care Chantilly

A Local Grooming Salon That Puts Pets First

At Featherle Pet Care Chantilly, we believe every pet deserves more than just a haircut. They deserve personalized care, kind hands, and a calm environment where their comfort and well being come first. We are proud to be a trusted part of the Chantilly community, offering grooming services that go beyond appearance to support the health and happiness of your pets.



Our salon is built on the simple idea that pets are family. From your first visit to your pet’s tenth appointment, we strive to create a consistent experience that is safe, respectful, and tailored to each animal. Whether your dog is outgoing or anxious, short haired or long coated, purebred or mixed, we take the time to understand what they need and how we can make their visit a positive one.

Christine Otto

Christine is the manager of our Chantilly salon. Since joining our salon in 2003, she has become an integral member of our team. She first fell in love with grooming after taking a career start class in high school. This course taught her the basics of dog grooming, giving her the foundation for her grooming career. Her passion and ability to bring out their unique personalities earned her the nickname Christine “The Doodle Queen”. Over the 20plus years with us, she has maintained her CPR certification and continues her education with the possibility of joining in competitions once her daughter graduates from high school. Currently Christine resides with her daughter, Shih Tzu (Stevie Nicks) and Standard Poodle (Ronan).

Jenny Wilkerson, NCMG – Master Groomer

Jenny Wilkerson is a National Certified Master Groomer with more than 25 years of experience in the pet grooming industry. Since joining Featherle Pet Care Chantilly in 2005, she has become known for her gentle approach, technical skill, and deep understanding of animal behavior.


Jenny’s grooming journey began with her first Cocker Spaniel, whom she groomed personally for his entire life. That experience sparked a lifelong passion that has led to national recognition and a successful grooming career. Jenny specializes in small breed grooming and is especially skilled with high maintenance breeds like Bichon Frise and Cocker Spaniels.



What sets Jenny apart is her ability to read a pet’s body language and adapt her approach to their needs. This level of insight and care creates a positive grooming experience, even for pets that are timid or sensitive. She sees each pet as an individual with a story to tell and takes the time to listen. Jenny lives with four dogs of her own, including Calli and Emily, two Parti Cocker Spaniels, Prince the Chihuahua, and Rusty the miniature Poodle.

Morgan Garihan

Morgan joined our Chantilly salon in 2023 and has proven to be quite the asset. As a child she became interested in grooming and like a lot of us pursued other passions before coming full circle and returning in the mid 2010’s to following her heart and dipping her toes into the grooming world. Morgan has worked with animals in many different capacities. Starting at the age of 12 volunteering at her local Humane Society then moving on to horse farms, vet clinics, private barns and running her own horse boarding business. She continues to tend to her own menagerie of critters and fills in at local farms. If Morgan must name a favorite breed, it would be the Cavalier Kings Charles Spaniel. Her words to describe them are “They’re so snuggly and chill and have the cutest little feet.” Though, ultimately, she enjoys grooming most dogs and is relishing the challenge of mastering the different breed clips.



On her own time Morgan spends it with her daughter, 2 cats, 1 dog and 2 horses.

A Grooming Philosophy Built on Trust

Grooming should never feel like a chore. It should feel like care.


That belief guides every appointment at Featherle Pet Care Chantilly. We take a calm, respectful approach to grooming that prioritizes your dog’s comfort and well-being. We talk with pet owners before each visit to understand what their dog needs, and we follow up with grooming notes and care tips so you always stay informed.


Whether your dog needs a breed-standard trim, a gentle bath, or a custom cut that shows off their personality, we aim to make every session stress-free. We are especially experienced in working with dogs who are nervous, elderly, or new to grooming. Many of our longtime clients started with anxious dogs who now look forward to their visits.

A Local Salon With a Community Focus

Featherle Pet Care Chantilly serves families across Northern Virginia from our grooming salon located at 13881 A Metrotech Drive in Chantilly. We welcome pets from Centreville, Herndon, Fairfax, South Riding, and the surrounding areas.



Over the years, we have become more than a grooming salon. We have become a trusted part of our clients’ routines. Some of the dogs we see today have been coming to us for over a decade. We have helped puppies grow into confident adults and supported older pets through their senior years with gentle, respectful care.
