Go about your morning.
I've got your dog.

Now serving Ballard, Phinney Ridge, Green Lake,
Whittier Heights, Magnolia, Queen Anne, and Capitol Hill.

Porchlight shows up at your door. You don't have to go anywhere.

Professional grooming that comes to you, one dog at a time, paced around your dog’s needs and your schedule. No drop-off. No pickup. No rearranging your Saturday around a 10am appointment window.

Book online, give me your address, and go about your morning. I'll text you when I arrive and when we're done.

Traditional salons are loud, built for volume, and designed for dogs that just roll with it. Some dogs don't.

Porchlight is one groomer, one dog, in a quiet van parked right outside your home. No other dogs waiting. No cage time. No handoffs. Every appointment is paced around your dog's comfort, start to finish, by the same person, every time.

That's not a special accommodation. That's just how I work.

This is our neighborhood.

Homebase for Porchlight is Whittier Heights, right in the heart of the area I serve. I know the parking situation on 65th. I know which blocks have the narrow driveways. And I'll remember that your dog prefers a cooler rinse, dislikes the dryer, and has a spot behind their ear they love scratched.

I respond to every inquiry within a few hours, usually much faster. Porchlight isn't a call center or a franchise. You're texting the person who'll show up at your door.

Gay-owned and neighbor-run. You're in good company.

  • "★★★★★ - Steve is an experienced groomer who took great care of our 5-yo Shiba Inu. This was our first mobile grooming experience, and not having to drive to a groomer for drop off and pick up was so convenient. The mobile was also well-equipped and clean." — Deepak, Whittier Heights | Roku, Shiba Inu

  • "★★★★★ - Tuna has never been so fresh and clean! Stephen was great at working some knots out instead of simply cutting them away." — Will from Ballard - Whittier Heights | Tuna, Portuguese Water Dog

  • "★★★★★ - I had such a great experience with Steven! You can tell he really cares about the dogs he works with. He paid close attention to her behavior, didn’t rush anything, and created a calm environment. I also really appreciated the hypoallergenic shampoo he uses. Skipper is usually itchy after grooming appointments, but that wasn’t an issue this time.” — Kat from Crown Hill | Skipper, Portuguese Water Dog

  • "★★★★★ - Toffel came back so relaxed and clean. Exactly what we were hoping for." — Jared, South Seattle | Toffel, Bernese Mountain Dog

Porchlight opened in 2026, and nearly half of my clients so far found us through a neighbor.
