I'm Ana. For nine years I've been giving dogs calm, unhurried grooms from a little van that pulls right up to your driveway — no lobbies, no crates, no stress.
Most dogs hate the salon — the car ride, the barking lobby, hours in a crate. Mobile is different, and the difference is felt immediately.
Your pup is in their own yard with you nearby. No scary lobby, no other dogs barking, no long day alone.
You're my only appointment for those 60–90 minutes. Every brush stroke gets my full attention.
Just an outdoor outlet and a hose. You stay in pajamas. No crating, no driving, no waiting room.
Water-haters, rescues, seniors, puppies getting their first groom ever — I move at their pace.
"I started grooming because I was the one friend in every friend-group the dog went to first. Nine years later, I'm still chasing that feeling."
I trained in South Carolina, apprenticed under a master groomer, and now run my mobile practice full-time out of Columbia. I serve families in 29205, 29206, 29210, Forest Acres, Shandon and the surrounding neighborhoods.
What I love most is the first ten minutes of a new dog — the sniffing, the watching, the slow earning of trust. I never rush that. Every dog leaves with a fresh bandana and a treat, and usually gets a photo posted to my Instagram.
Grooming moves. I attend industry events and competitions every year so the scissor-work, the tools, and the de-shedding techniques I use on your dog are current, safe, and gentle.
Annual trade show & seminar series. Hands-on training from award-winning groomers, plus new-tool demos.
Competed and received constructive critique from judged panels on breed-specific scissor work.
Low-stress handling techniques for anxious, senior, and special-needs dogs — the dogs who need us most.
Ana is, by far, our favorite groomer! She's very patient with our two water-hating huskies — something we didn't think was possible.
I cannot recommend Ana more highly! She came to our house where Beau was comfortable — he's never been this calm during a groom.
Did a great job grooming and trimming our 9-month-old Golden. She was so gentle with him. Affordable as well!
Pricing is by size and coat. Most appointments land in these ranges; matted or especially large coats may add a little. I'll always confirm the quote before I start.
Warm bath, deep conditioner, thorough brush-out, nails, ears, and a bandana.
Everything in bath + breed-appropriate haircut, paw trim, sanitary, finish.
