A Thoughtful Approach to Dog Grooming
One-on-One, Cage-Free, and Care-Forward
Porchlight is a boutique mobile grooming experience built around your dog's coat, temperament, and comfort, not a salon's schedule.
One Dog at a Time. Your dog has my undivided attention, start to finish.
Owner-Operated. Same groomer, every visit. I know your dog by name.
Paced to Your Dog. Comfort dictates the speed, not a clock.
Professional Standards. Custom-built grooming van, biodegradable pH-balanced products, fully insured.
The Meet & Greet. Discovery & Connection
Free · 15 minutes · First-time clients
Before any grooming begins, we meet. You, your dog, and me, at your front door or at the Porchlight van, at your convenience.
This visit lets your dog explore the grooming space at their own pace, gives us a chance to talk through their history and any past grooming challenges, and allows me to assess their coat and temperament before we begin their first groom.
No pressure. No fluff. Just a good first impression.

Service Add-ons
Some dogs need a little more time, patience, and care.
Meet & Greet. A complimentary 15-minute introduction for first-time clients. Your dog explores the van at their own pace. No pressure, no commitment, just a great first impression. Free.
De-Shedding. Targeted high-velocity coat work for double-coated and heavy-shedding breeds dealing with seasonal blowout or serious buildup. Removes what brushing alone can't reach. Starting at $35 (small) / $50 (medium) / $65 (large) / $80 (XL).
De-Matting. Careful mat removal preserving as much coat as possible. I work at your dog's pace, always with your agreement before starting. Starting at $35 (small) / $50 (medium) / $65 (large) / $80 (XL). Severe cases billed in additional 15-minute increments at $30.
Skunk Treatment. Professional enzymatic deodorizing protocol. Effective, thorough, and a whole lot better than tomato juice. $65 flat rate.
Extra Time / Behavioral Support. Senior dogs, anxious dogs, first-timers. Some dogs just need more pacing. I don't rush. $30 per 15-minute increment.
All enhancements are confirmed with you before they begin.
