Your Dog’s Comfort
Comes First
At The Velvet Paw, every grooming appointment is built around trust, patience, and gentle handling. Your dog's comfort always comes first, and every visit is personalized to their individual needs and pace.
About the Velvet Paw
The Velvet Paw is a private home grooming studio in Riverview, Florida, created to provide a calmer, more personal grooming experience.
Unlike busy salons, every appointment is one-on-one in a quiet, home-based studio. This allows me to give each dog my full attention while creating an environment built on trust, patience, and individualized care.
Whether your pup is visiting for routine maintenance, their first groom, or extra gentle handling, my goal is always the same: to help them leave feeling comfortable, confident, and looking their very best.
Meet the Groomer
Hi, I'm Jen, the owner and groomer behind The Velvet Paw.
With over 20 years of professional grooming experience, I've learned that every dog is different. Some dogs walk in full of confidence, while others need a little extra patience and reassurance. My approach is simple: move at your dog's pace, build trust, and create a calm experience that feels safe from start to finish.
There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a nervous dog relax, helping a puppy enjoy their first groom, or making a senior dog feel comfortable throughout the grooming process.
Why I Became a Groomer
My journey into grooming started with a simple love for animals and a desire to make a difference in their lives.
Over the years, I saw how overwhelming traditional grooming salons could be for many dogs, especially puppies, seniors, and nervous pups.
That inspired me to create a calmer, more personal experience where every dog receives patience, compassion, and the time they deserve.
Today, that's still the heart of The Velvet Paw.
