Introduction: I've been grooming now for over 20 years and have loved every minute of it. Your furry family friends are my priority, each and every one. I do my best for them first, then I give the best advice I can to help maintain them till their next grooming especially ones who like longer hair. Patience, TLC and knowledge is key to a good grooming experience. Not all pets like grooming but they can still have a good grooming experience. I think of it like this, it takes a while to find a good doctor for yourself you can trust, but just because he/she is your favorite doctor doesn't mean that you like what they have to do to to keep you healthy. They have the patience and experience to help you through whatever it is that your going through.

I have not been a fan of sites including Thumbtack and Angie's however without the Thumbtack pop up I would have never found Millie and her OUTSTANDING pet grooming service. Spending more than two weeks trying to find a groomer for my 80# Tessie was a challenge! I can't say enough about the job Millie did on my girl. The last few "professional" dog groomers that I used left me to pull out the scissors when we got home to clean up all that had been missed. Millie took her time, Tess was tangled up a bit with the time it took to find someone. We could not be more pleased and Tess is one Happy Goldendoodle !!! This whole event leaves me wondering, why did Millie a far better job then the other groomers at a lesser price, Go Figure ???

I recently took my two adorable puppies, a miniature Schnauzer and a Yorkie, to Spas for Paws, and I couldn't be happier with the exceptional service we received. From the moment I reached out to schedule an appointment, the groomer was incredibly responsive and accommodating. She clearly understood my vision for how I wanted my dogs' hair to be cut, and she executed it flawlessly. The groomer not only gave my puppies the perfect haircuts but also went above and beyond by providing thorough cleaning services. Their coats were meticulously trimmed, leaving them looking absolutely adorable. Additionally, she took the time to clean their ears, ensuring their overall hygiene and well-being. It was evident that she genuinely cared about my pets and their comfort throughout the grooming process. Spas for Paws exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The groomer's attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for my puppies made the experience truly exceptional. I highly recommend Spas for Paws to anyone looking for professional and compassionate grooming services. My dogs came out looking adorable and happy, and I will definitely be returning for their next grooming appointment.

Millie was wonderful with Benji, my mini labradoodle. She took the time to listen to my preferences and ask questions. She was communicative and punctual. Most importantly, Benji looks adorable and I could not be more pleased with his groom. Will 100% be our new regular groomer!

I have two dogs, a small long haired and medium sized short hair. Neither of them have been groomed before and both have anxiety around new people. Millie did an amazing job with them and they both look fantastic! I know ours not a great picture, they’re both too excited to sit still!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I listen to what you (the owner) would like to have done. Then we together or just me will assess your pet and come up with what is best for him/her('s) comfort level. They may not like it for whatever reason. But for them this needs to be a positive working experience so that they may eventually be calm and comfortable or at least be able to deal with the grooming experience better. I do really enjoy working with you and loved ones.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Yes....looking forward to becoming a Certified Master Groomer through the NDGAA

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I started volunteering at animal shelters, walking, feeding, cleaning kennels. I started noticing how people would just walk by and judge the ones that were hiding and their hair would be matted. I started grooming them with some help to help them get homes.
