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 1/22/2026 Lisa Snyder had this to say:
We tried two other groomers before we found Grooming By Kim. They did a fantastic job of grooming our dog and he was able to “hang out” until I picked him up. Well done!

On 1/13/2026 Julia gentry had this to say:
Kim was absolutely amazing and did such a wonderful job. This was our first time ever taking our puppy to Kim, and we were honestly pretty nervous since it was his very first grooming session and he has a very anxious personality. From the moment we dropped him off, Kim made us feel completely at ease. She took incredible care of him and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. She was so gentle and patient, especially when introducing him to all the new and scary noises. She took things slowly and thoughtfully so he could experience everything without feeling overwhelmed or traumatized, which meant so much to us as first time puppy parents. We booked a full grooming session with a haircut and nail trim, and when we picked him up, he looked even better than when we dropped him off. He was clean, happy, and clearly well cared for. You could tell he was treated with so much kindness and attention. We are beyond grateful to have found Kim and will absolutely be returning. If you are looking for someone who truly cares about your pet and treats them like their own, Kim is the best choice. 🐾

Thank you so much to this amazing groomer for your patience, kindness, and professionalism. My Shih Tzu can be very aggressive during grooming, and you handled him with so much care and understanding. I truly appreciate the time and compassion you showed—he looks great, and I’m beyond grateful. Testimonial written by Christopher on this site.

Kim did a great job grooming our Bichon Poodle. She looks amazing!

On 12/7/2025 Sue D. had this to say:
Absolutely perfect. I live in LA and travel to AZ often and never wanna let my pup go so it took me sometime to find something I hoped would be what I wanted. I searched, let me tell you.. Soon as I walked in the women made me so comfortable and they weren't trying at all. They oozed pup love and passion. It wasn't a hat they said to me or all that it was their reaction and interaction. GENUINE. I'm a good read and they did not let me down. Take aside their amazing energy and animal love (obvi the most important part) she updated me with photos and how my pup was doing and I didn't request it. Made me feel even better cause I was nervous for months. I will be taking my pup here and no where else. If I need to review the "work" the cut and style was exactly as i expressed. Thank you ladies for bringing so much to the pup community and community in general. Oh. Did I mention I called late and 2 days before thanksgiving and she didn't hesitate to help me! Thank you ladies, seriously
