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.

Kim and her team are lovely. They are kind, talented, and can handle even the more challenging pets and tasks without breaking a sweat. From walking in the door you can tell this place is top notch. We take all our dogs there and have sent family and friends to Kim. By far the best groomer I've ever been lucky enough to work with, across multiple states, and all at a more than fair price.

I found the BEST place for Max & Levi’s quarterly “Spa Day!” Kim at Grooming by Kim is incredible! And the boys look very dapper! Thank you Kim!

I called and was able to make an appointment the following day. It was super easy to book and I absolutely loovveee the results. It had been quite a while since my dog's last haircut & I also asked for a pretty specific cut--however, they completely nailed it on the first try. The place was easy to find because they had signs that pointed straight to the entrance. Kim and her staff were extremely warm and welcoming. I immediately felt at ease leaving my baby with them. She said he would get time to sniff around and get comfortable and he even ended up making some dog friends! At the end, we received a bow & goody bag which I thought was so cute. Prices were great. 10/10--the best groomers I have gone to. Teddy and I will definitely be back!!!! :) I included one before and a couple after pics for reference.
