Our Story
Driven by a deep love
for animals.
My journey to creating Ketsie's Dog Grooming was driven by a deep love for animals and a desire to offer something truly special for your beloved pets. After years of experience in a traditional grooming salon, I knew I had more to give. I witnessed firsthand the stress and fear many dogs experienced in busy environments.
Connecting with so many wonderful pet owners has been the driving force behind Ketsie's. Your feedback, recommendations, and unwavering support are the reasons I get to do what I love every single day.
My grooming studio is not just a place of business; it's a spacious, meticulously clean, and welcoming environment, fully equipped and ready for any pup that comes through the door — from the tiniest teacups to the largest gentle giants, including our beloved senior dogs. I strive to never turn a dog away and always aim to provide a caring solution.
This business model isn't just about being different; it's about being more efficient, more caring, and ultimately, providing the best possible experience for your furry family member. As a special touch, every pup I groom leaves with a beautiful handmade, hand-sewn bandana or bowtie that I create myself!

The Difference
Why families choose Ketsie's
True One-on-One Care
Your dog is the star! We offer dedicated one-on-one sessions by request — perfect for nervous, anxious, or senior dogs. While we typically manage appointments to keep our studio quiet, these dedicated solo sessions ensure your pup is the only dog in the room during their groom. Please request this at the time of booking!
Efficient Turnaround
Busy schedule? Most grooms are completed efficiently within an hour to an hour and a half, allowing you to get your furry friend back home quickly.
Unique, High-Quality Products
We prioritize natural ingredients from trusted, exclusive brands. From a calming oatmeal bath to a tearless puppy clean to a nourishing treatment for dark coats — only the best.
Handmade Take-Home Goodies
Every groomed pup gets a beautiful, handmade bandana or bowtie, lovingly crafted by Colette herself — a special keepsake from their visit!
Relaxing Backyard Cooldown
Our fully fenced, private backyard provides a safe, gorgeous space for dogs to play and relax while they wait for pickup — koi pond, gardens, and all.
Our Grooming Philosophy
We take immense pride in being different. Unlike high-volume salons that keep dogs in cages for hours, we prioritize efficiency, safety, and a calm atmosphere. Every groom is handled with the same dedication we'd give our own pets.
Our Pledge
A commitment to safety
& hygiene
We understand that leaving your beloved dog in someone else's care requires trust. Here's our pledge to ensure a safe, hygienic, and positive experience for every pet at Ketsie's Dog Grooming.
Tailored Grooming Experience
We offer standard professional grooming and, by request, exclusive One-on-One sessions. If your pup prefers a quiet, solo environment — or if you have a nervous, anxious, or senior dog — please let us know when booking! We will prioritize scheduling these sessions so your companion is the only dog in our studio.
Calm & Controlled Environment
Our home-based studio offers a quiet setting. Cages are only used for drying safety or if the dog prefers the security of a crate; otherwise, we offer a cage-free optional environment.
Gentle Handling Expertise
Colette specializes in making even the most nervous or senior dogs feel comfortable through patient and gentle techniques.
Meticulously Clean Studio
Our grooming table and tools are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after every single grooming session.

What Pearl River is saying
"I cannot recommend Ms. Colette enough as a dog groomer. She is truly one of the most patient, skilled, and compassionate groomers I have ever trusted with my dog. My dog Zucc is a large, fluffy dog — Colette always handles it with kindness, patience, and professionalism. Zucc is always relaxed with her, which says everything."
"From the moment I spoke with Colette, I felt completely at ease. She grooms out of her home and only takes one dog at a time, which is incredibly comforting for anxious dogs. When I picked her up, she looked absolutely perfect! I knew I'd found someone I can truly trust."
"I've been bringing my dog to Ketsie's for a couple of years now, and Colette is truly amazing. My dog, who is usually anxious around new people, is always calm and comfortable with her. The grooming space is always clean and organized, and Colette works efficiently without ever compromising the quality."
"I highly recommend Ketsie's Grooming! When we arrive at the house, Whiskey gets so excited — she pulls me to the door. This is very comforting because I know she is happy to be there. Colette always listens to concerns and also has great advice. 5 stars all the way!"
"Colette is so amazing with my dog. He gets nervous when I try to touch and clip nails and she does it so perfectly! You can tell she really cares about animals. We are customers for life. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!!"
"Colette is amazing — our 2-year-old Cavapoo Finley looks so cute! He hadn't had a groom since December so he was overdue. We're so happy he looks so cute and clean!"
"Highly recommend Ketsie's Dog Grooming! I recently took my anxious dog Morgan here and couldn't be more pleased. Morgan is usually very nervous around strangers and grooming tools, but Colette was incredibly patient and gentle. I could tell she wasn't as stressed as she usually is after grooming."
"Colette is absolutely amazing. This is the best experience ever at a groomer. She's so gentle and the pup loved her. The grooming area is spotless — such an amazing find. We will be back very soon."
"We take our XL labradoodle Ziggy here and we couldn't be happier with the results! Colette is an expert groomer and has a natural gift — so attentive and professional, and goes the extra mile. The environment is very clean and welcoming and we know our baby is in good hands."
"Colette is an absolute gem. She not only provided top-notch grooming for my dog but also ensured a calm and friendly environment. My dog has never looked better, and the personal attention Colette gives to each pet is unmatched. Highly recommend Ketsie's Grooming to all pet owners!"
"Not only was the price significantly better than our old mobile groomer, but Colette's work is absolutely outstanding. Our golden doodle received the most beautiful cut and looks happier and fluffier than ever. Colette is the kindest person you'll ever meet. Ketsie's Dog Grooming is now our go-to!"
"Colette really knows how to handle dogs — even my nervous pup felt at ease with her. The grooming was done in just an hour, and my dog came out looking and smelling amazing. It's clear she genuinely cares about every dog she works with. I'll definitely be coming back!"
