What We Offer

Our Services include:

Full-Service Dog & Cat Grooming: Give your pet the pampering they deserve with our full-service grooming experience for both dogs and cats. Every appointment includes a gentle bath, thorough brush-out, ear cleaning, and nail trim, with the option to add customized haircut styles based on your pet’s breed, coat type, and your personal preference. Whether your companion needs a simple tidy-up or a full transformation, we make the process comfortable, safe, and stress-free.
Bath, Brush & De-Shedding Treatments: Keep your pet’s coat healthy and reduce shedding with our premium bath, brush, and de-shedding services. We use high-quality shampoos and conditioners tailored to your pet’s skin and coat needs, followed by a detailed brushing session to remove loose hair and prevent matting. Our de-shedding treatment significantly cuts down on shedding at home—ideal for double-coated breeds or pets who need a little extra coat care.
Specialized Grooming for Elderly & Aggressive Pets: Every pet deserves quality care, including those who struggle with grooming due to age, anxiety, or behavioral challenges. We offer patient, compassionate grooming tailored to senior pets and pets with aggressive or reactive tendencies. With a calm approach and safe handling methods, we work at your pet’s pace to ensure a positive experience while still delivering a clean, healthy groom.
Nail Trimming & Paw Care: Proper nail care is essential for your pet’s comfort and mobility. We provide quick, gentle nail trims for cats and dogs, along with optional nail filing for smooth, snag-free edges. Paw pad trimming and cleaning are also available to keep feet healthy and irritation-free.
Private Dog Boarding: Enjoy peace of mind when you’re away. Our private dog boarding provides a quiet, secure environment with personalized attention, daily routines, and plenty of love. Your dog stays in a safe, low-stress setting—perfect for pets who prefer a more personal, home-style experience over traditional kennels.
Curbside Pick-Up & Drop-Off: For added convenience, we offer curbside pick-up and drop-off for grooming appointments. Simply pull up, and we’ll handle the rest—saving you time and making the process easier for both you and your pet.

Testimonials

On 2/28/2026 Ashley Y. had this to say:
Kim and her team were absolutely amazing. I was really nervous about getting my 7-month-old puppy groomed because she can be a bit anxious, but they made the entire experience so reassuring. Kim took her time, showed so much patience, and handled her with such care. They moved at my puppy's pace and made sure she felt comfortable every step of the way. I truly felt like she was in the best hands. I couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend them to anyone with a nervous pup.

100/10!! I cannot say enough good things about this place and the staff. If you're looking for a groomer look no further! I travel a lot for months at a time for work and always bring my dog so finding a good groomer is really important to me. Kim and her staff are so genuine and caring my dog instantly took a keen to them. Kim sent me pictures of her during the grooming and I have never seen her so happy during a bath. Some short and sweet points to answer common pet owner questions: - Booking is easy!! Its a small business so sometimes they can fit you in the same week. No more booking months ahead! - Pricing: SO REASONABLE! Having a double coated dog my grooming bill is always over $100 before tip and I paid less than that here so that was a HUGE win for me. - Response time: FAST! You can call or text and will likely get a response within the hour. - Trim: Flawless! Could model my dog after this haha My final note: the timing was tricky because of my schedule so I had to send my boyfriend to take her and Kim was able to do precisely what I needed and determine the right style without me having to be there or say anything which was a huge bonus for me. We will definitely be back :)

We have a very senior fur baby, who has never liked being groomed. Kim did a great job with him and he was not as stressed out as he usually is. Love her and the shop.
