Your Dog’s Comfort
Comes First
At The Velvet Paw, we believe grooming shouldn’t be scary. It should be kind, calm, and tailored to your dog’s needs. With gentle handling and personalized attention, every grooming appointment focuses on comfort first.
We meet your dog where they are and work at their pace.
About the Velvet Paw
Velvet Paw is a private dog grooming studio located in Riverview, Florida, created to provide a calmer and more personal grooming experience.
​
Unlike busy salons, every appointment is one-on-one in a quiet home-based studio. There are no crowded waiting areas and no overlapping appointments. Each dog receives patient, individualized care from start to finish in a cage-free environment designed for comfort and trust.
​
Our goal is simple: to create a grooming experience where dogs feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while leaving looking their very best.
​
Finding the Perfect Fit
​
My grooming studio is best suited for small to medium-sized dogs and select large breeds up to 80 lbs. Because I work one-on-one and prioritize a calm, safe grooming experience, I am unable to accommodate giant breeds or certain extra-large dogs at this time.
​
If you're unsure whether your pup is a good fit, send me a message—I'd be happy to chat and point you in the right direction if needed.

Meet the Groomer
Hi, I’m Jennifer, the groomer behind The Velvet Paw.
​
I’m a professional dog groomer with years of experience, specializing in gentle, one-on-one grooming for doodles, senior dogs, and sensitive pups. I take my time, work at your dog’s pace, and focus on comfort, trust, and calm handling — never rushing or forcing.
​
Your dog’s well-being always comes first, and every appointment is treated with patience, care, and respect.
Why I Became a Groomer
My journey into dog grooming started with a deep love for animals and a desire to work closely with them in a way that truly makes a difference.
​
Over time, I saw how stressful traditional grooming environments could be for many dogs—especially nervous pups, seniors, and dogs that simply do better in a quieter setting. That experience inspired me to create something different.
​
I wanted to offer grooming that feels calm, patient, and compassionate, where each dog receives the time and attention they deserve.
