Behind the Groom — A Passion That Runs Deep
“If I Could, I’d Groom Every Dog in the World”
That’s not just a quote — it’s a mission.
The founder of All Washed Ups has spent over 30 years in the grooming industry. From hand-scissoring purebred show dogs to coaxing frightened rescues into a warm bath for the first time, there isn’t a coat type, temperament, or grooming need we haven’t handled.
But what really drives us? It’s the emotional connection.
“I live vicariously through every client’s dog — because deep down, I wish I could care for them all.”
This isn’t a high-volume grooming business. There are no noisy dryers, crowded waiting rooms, or stressed-out pets in cages. Just
one groomer, one pet, and one calm, private experience at a time.
A Grooming Experience Built on Trust
When you invite someone to care for your pet, you’re placing enormous trust in them. We don’t take that lightly.
That’s why we’ve designed our services to begin with a
free grooming consultation — no rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all packages. Before we ever pick up a brush or turn on the water, we get to know:
- Your pet’s behavior, sensitivities, and history
- Your grooming preferences and expectations
- Any special needs or past experiences that could impact the session
This isn’t just about grooming — it’s about
understanding your pet and making them feel safe from the start.
Each grooming session begins with a free consultation so we can recommend the right services for your pet’s coat, temperament, and age. You’re never locked into a rigid “package.” Instead, we listen and adapt.

From Our Mobile Salon to Your Front Door
We bring the grooming table to your doorstep — literally.
Our mobile salon is fully self-contained, with water, power, climate control, and all the tools needed for professional grooming. You don’t need to plug us in, drag your dog to a salon, or worry about car rides and separation anxiety.
Everything happens just steps from your front door, and you’re welcome to meet us, chat with us, or simply relax while we handle everything with care.

Compassion Is at the Core of Everything We Do
We may have decades of experience, but we still treat every pet like it’s our very first appointment. Every tail wag, every nervous look, every joyful post-groom zoomie — we’re here for it all.
We don’t judge matted coats, unruly nails, or anxious behavior. We meet each pet exactly where they are — and help them feel their very best.
