Hi There & Welcome to the party!
Owners, Michelle Millett and her mother, Arleen Young, opened Diamonds and Dutch Pet Bath and Spa in the heart of Northside Richmond. The do-it-yourself facility provides tubs, water and space for pet owners to bathe their pets. And what started as just a DIY had now transformed with more options! Customers can also book appointments with our amazing staff!
The spa currently holds "Neighborhood Favorite" on Nextdoor and was voted the 2022 'The Best' grooming shop by Richmond Times Dispatch!
Millett and her mother are both pet lovers! The spa is named after Millett’s current dog, Diamond and their former pet, Dutchess, who died in 2009.

Hand Scissoring
Groomer
"Hi, my name is Mya! I’ve been grooming for the past 5 years. I started off as a self-taught groomer covering topics on handling skills; breed specific cuts; safety and prevention; and client relations. Over the past years I’ve become a skilled and professional dog groomer by combining self-directed learning with hands-on practice by working alongside experienced groomers. My favorite thing about grooming is the appreciation from the dog and owner after every appointment. If I had to pick a favorite breed, it would be Shichons! When I’m not at the spa, I enjoy making memories with my nieces and nephews, road trips and outdoor activities like walking."
Skin Therapy Groomer
"Hi I'm Shelly! I've worked with dogs since 2021 starting as a dog trainer and transitioned into grooming. I absolutely love all the dogs I work with but have a soft spot for Golden Retrievers. With my passion for grooming I've taken many certification courses from Skin Assessment to A Groomer's Guide to the 15 Coat Types to better take care of dogs in my care. I also specialize in Asian Fusion styling having taken classes to bring that extra cuteness to my hair cuts! Aside from working with dogs, I ballroom and salsa dance in my free time and go to school to earn my degree in Human Services hoping to work for a non-profit in the future."
Groomer
Coloring & Creative Groomer
"I'm Clovis! ( Cloh-Vee with a silent 's' in French if you're feelin' super fancy). I absolutely love what I do. I've been a professional dog groomer for about 8 years now. I love grooming all dog breeds, however my favorite breeds that pull on my heart strings, are; Shi-tzu, Standard Poodles and all things Terrier!! When I'm not covered in dog hair and at home, I'm writing for my small writing business or playing video games. I have a 3 year old west highland white terrier poodle (westiepoo!) whom I plan to take through agility training in mid 2025 so she can enter competitions. Dogs are seriously my life, I could talk your ear off in the ways of canine for hours! Fun fact about me: I can fold 200 papercranes in 1 day!.. I don't recommend it though lol"
