Oh hi, pet parent!

Gentle Grooming Graces groomer embracing a dog
Comfort. Communication. Trust.

Is this a good fit?

For pets who need a little more understanding.

Gentle Grooming Graces was designed for one-on-one care—not a high-volume salon experience.

Quiet surroundings

Pets who feel calmer away from a busy, noisy salon.

A patient pace

Pets who need extra time, breaks, or gentle introductions.

Individual attention

Pets who thrive with one groomer focused entirely on them.

Safety-first choices

Pet parents who value comfort and trust over a perfect finish.

Before the first appointment

Tell me all about your bestie!

A quick intake form and grooming waiver help me plan a visit around your pet’s history, needs, quirks, and comfort level.

01

Grooming history

Past experiences, preferred routines, and anything that has or hasn’t worked well.

02

Health & mobility

Medical conditions, medications, physical limitations, or tender areas.

03

Sensitivities

Concerns around nails, dryers, handling, sounds, or particular body areas.

04

Behavior & coat

Fear, aggression, bite history, matting, and the current condition of the coat.

Your pet’s well-being always comes before aesthetics.

Every service is performed gently and only when it can be completed safely. If stress, behavior, or tolerance makes part of the groom unsafe, that portion will be omitted.

Because appointment time and individualized care are still provided, discounts are not offered for incomplete services.

Arrival & appointments

Simple, private, and by reservation.

  • Gentle Grooming Graces is a home-based studio.
