We likely have some of the most difficult dogs on earth. They have something called Littermate Syndrome. It is essentially extreme separation anxiety for both dogs. That makes taking them to a groomer nearly impossible because their behavior is anxiety filled and chaotic. Jessica has not only done well with them,…

No one has been able to groom my young dog until Jessica. The whole process is so professional yet casual. She used a few tricks and had Keeley cooperating and enjoying her spa treatment.

Jessica was so great with all 3 of my huskies even with the insane amount of shedding they do. They look so pretty and smell so good. Can’t wait to have her back 🥰

I wish I could give more stars! I could not be happier with our groom from Jessica. We have a senior small mixed breed dog with health issues and she not only gave him the best groom he’s ever had, but he has never been this calm and content during or after being with a groomer. We will be repeat customers for sure!

We recently moved to the area and had been searching for a groomer. Saw Bear Paws mobile grooming come up on a Google search and decided to gave them a try. Jessica came today for a bath and cut for our 10 year old Peekapoo.. he looks so cute!! We’ll definitely call them again!!!

We likely have some of the most difficult dogs on earth. They have something called Littermate Syndrome. It is essentially extreme separation anxiety for both dogs. That makes taking them to a groomer nearly impossible because their behavior is anxiety filled and chaotic. Jessica has not only done well with them, her energy is just incredible and you can tell she loves what she does! I HIGHLY recommend her for any dog grooming you may need! If she can handle my two dogs in a grooming trailer alone, then she can handle anything! We are really glad we found Jessica because we were running out of options! Again, NOBODY is better than Jessica! It’s not even a competition, plus she is just a good person! Who doesn’t want to do business with a good person!

Jessica did a amazing job on my boys. It was their first time being professionally groomed and they came back looking great. The service was friendly and I felt like I was handing my boys to a family member.
