About

Hi! I’m Barbara, a passionate dog groomer from Brazil with years of experience in caring for dogs that began on my grandparents’ farm. Now, I bring that same dedication and love for animals to my mobile pet grooming service, where I offer convenient, high-quality grooming right at your doorstep. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I create a welcoming and inclusive space for all pet owners. My goal is to make each grooming session stress-free, comfortable, and enjoyable for every pet, helping them look and feel their best. Let’s make grooming easier and more enjoyable for our furry friends!

The most important thing for me was that my dog was comfortable being in Barbara's care while being groomed. And she (my dog) looks terrific!

I wasn't sure how Milo would do with mobile grooming, but it felt calm from the start. There was no rush just care. When he came back to me he looked fresh and at ease like he'd been treated with real kindness. We'll def book again.

Barbara was great. She responded immediately to the request and coordinated the timing efficiently. Once here she was also flexible to a small delay and then did a great job on the grooming.

Our first grooming and mobile service experience couldn’t have been better. Initially our dog was a little hesitant however once finished she was trying to go back in the van! The patience and care was obvious especially through our happy dog. Very pleased and will definitely book again, thank you!
