Kaitlin McGrath began working at Belmont Pet Shop at age 14. After earning a degree in small business management and animal care, and becoming a full-time groomer, she purchased the store and salon in 2017 with help and support from her family. That family also now includes Harley the Harlequin Macaw, Ophelia the Maine Coon-mix, DeVille the Peruvian Guinea Pig and Little One the Abyssinian Guinea Pig — all of whom can get groomed at Belmont Pet Shop!
