The Groom-Me Family

Meet the faces behind every groom.

A wall of our own — Lisa-Marie, the team, and the four-legged regulars who make every day special. Every portrait shot the same way: black & white, against a bright white wall, a dog held close.

Calming music and diffused aromatherapy oils turn a groom into a spa day.

The Dogs Others Turn Away

Anxious, senior, special-needs? Bring them to us.

Some dogs need more time — and we give it, gladly. The blind and diabetic. The senior recovering from surgery. The nail-phobic rescue no other groomer could finish. These are the dogs we're proudest of. You're welcome to stay present through the whole visit.

When you book a professional groomer, you're not just paying for time spent clipping and scissoring. You're investing in:

  • Years of experience
  • Ongoing education and training
  • Breed-specific knowledge
  • Safe handling skills
  • Professional equipment and products
  • The confidence that your dog is in caring, experienced hands
"Lisa-Marie takes wonderful care of Tucker when I travel. Tucker is blind and diabetic, so that includes giving him twice-daily insulin injections. I couldn't recommend Groom-Me highly enough!"
— Google review
"My two Westies are difficult and have special needs — one is highly anxious and has never had her nails trimmed by any other groomer. Today, despite requiring 3 of the staff, they successfully completed an entire groom for my girl. My other Westie is old and recovering from major ACL surgery… once again the team were able to complete a wonderful groom."

"I'm extremely impressed that they involved me to be present, considering my dog's anxiety — this was very important to me."

"First time groom for Mitzy-Mu. Lisa-Marie brought me inside the house so I could see where Mu would play. When I picked up my girl she was so happy. Mu's found herself a new groomer."

"I especially love the fact my pups get to run free and play with the other dogs (no cages). Could not think of a better place to go for doggy day care or grooming."

"My dog Elli loves to go to Lisa. She can't wait to get in Lisa's house. The daycare is a fantastic solution for me as I can go to work and leave my dog… I can't recommend her highly enough!"

Thérèse & Mitzy-MuHappy client

"Worlds best groomer. You'll be assured that cuddles are mandatory and walk away knowing your babies are deeply cared for throughout the day. Travel the distance if you're not local!"

"She has that classic German straightforwardness, which I love — she gets straight to the point and knows her stuff, but she is a total gem. Genuinely the most dog-loving human I've ever met."

"Have been taking my 2 dogs here their whole lives and they never miss. Always love their cuts and the care Lisa puts in to making sure they have a great time at the groomers!"
