Paw-zn-Around offers specialized professional dog grooming services to help keep your pooch fresh, clean and feeling great!

Our Certified Professional Groomers (Canine Appearance Technicians) have over 21 years of combined experience and are dedicated to groom your dog through professional skills and kindness. Our groomers work as a team to care for dogs with special needs.

New clients get a one on one consultation with one of our groomers to get to know your dog in terms of health, behavior and coat condition. We work with you to achieve a healthy skin and coat as well as a great looking dog. We offer variety of top-quality shampoos and conditioners including hypo-allergenic baths and facial scrubs.

Our facility offers a ramped bath area for safety in a large window-lit grooming area. After a hand held blow dry, dogs are crated for a gentle breeze-like air dry. We bring dogs out for potty breaks, provide water and if it’s ok with you, a treat for a job well done!

Kathy Hartigan
After 7 years I still consider myself blessed to have made a career out of a hobby. Grooming can be challenging and rewarding, that’s what makes it so unique. This has been a great journey for me; working at Paw-zn-Around is a great opportunity to observe dog behavior and learn different handling techniques which goes a long way towards making grooming enjoyable. I am very committed to pampering your pet with skill and compassion every day.

I am proud to be part of such a cohesive team of caring professionals in an environment where our four legged friends are always our priority. It makes coming to work something I look forward to every day. Bringing a smile to a pet owners face is a great feeling.

Julie Belair
I have over 14 years experience in the grooming industry; 10 of which I was the owner/operator of my own Grooming/Boarding facility which I sold after the adoption of my son. I have always enjoyed grooming dogs and take pride in my work. My little black cocker spaniel, Raven is the inspiration of the “Raven Cut”. I am thankful everyday to have found a career that I love and all the more so, having the opportunity to work with Kathy and Sara.

Sara Gay
I am the Rookie of this group. I’ve been grooming for a shorter time; having started my training as Kathy’s protégée in 2008; I completed my apprenticeship early in 2009 officially earning my grooming certification. I continue to attend college while enjoying grooming with talented people in a great environment with my best bud “Jake” by my side; Jake is Sara’s 3 year old Westie.
