The Pawsh difference

Grooming built around your pet, not the clock.

Never rushed

We never force a pet through a service. Breaks are built in, and every visit moves at the pace your pet is comfortable with.

Seasoned groomers

Our groomers bring 15 to 20+ years of experience in the DMV, with a gentle touch for reactive and grooming-sensitive pets.

Only what they need

No blueberry facials or upsell menus. Just thoughtful, hygienic care chosen for your pet, by people who know them.

Quiet Tuesdays

A private day for pets who need a little more.

Tuesdays are closed to the public and reserved for one-on-one appointments with senior pets, pets with medical needs, and reactive or behavioral pets. Fewer pets in the shop, no walk-in traffic, and a groomer focused entirely on yours.

Owner-led since day one

Started by a vet tech and a dog named Norman.

Owner Mary Phillips trained as a veterinary technician and built Pawsh around the dog who taught her patience: Norman, a rescue no one else would give a chance. That same care shapes every groom today, and every year we walk in his honor to raise money for local shelters.
