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!

Barbara is a great mobile groomer. She leaves really cute haircuts on my dogs. All 3 of my fur babies end up happy at the end of the grooming session.

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.

Samba did a great job with my dog; very happy with the look and quality of cut. He wasn’t too anxious or stressed, and he’s definitely happier now!
