About Ketsie's

Welcome to Ketsie's Dog Grooming, established in May 2023, your trusted source for personalized pet grooming experiences in Pearl River, NY. Founded by Colette, Ketsie's is built on the principle of providing a calm, efficient, and stress-free environment for your beloved canine companion.

Unlike larger facilities, we offer dedicated one-on-one grooming sessions. This means your dog receives Colette's full attention from start to finish, avoiding the stress and anxiety of being kenneled among other dogs. Your dog is groomed and ready to go home typically within an hour to an hour and a half!

Meet Colette: The Heart Behind Ketsie's

My journey to creating Ketsie's Dog Grooming was driven by a deep love for animals and a desire to offer something truly special for your beloved pets. After years of experience in a traditional grooming salon, I knew I had more to give. I witnessed firsthand the stress and fear many dogs experienced in busy environments, often being kenneled next to numerous other dogs. It broke my heart to see them terrified to even walk into a grooming studio, which often led to a difficult experience for everyone involved simply because the dogs were overwhelmed and anxious from the start.

I couldn't stand by and see dogs treated that way. As a lifelong dog lover, growing up on a farm in Ireland, I always knew my passion lay in helping animals. I believe that when your pet is a cherished member of your family, they deserve the absolute best treatment available.

This conviction inspired me to transform my downstairs space into an all-inclusive, serene dog grooming studio right here in the heart of Pearl River. A key part of my vision was to move away from the industry standard of keeping dogs in cages. Instead, I utilize my spacious, fully fenced-in backyard where pups can relax and have some freedom before or after their grooming, ensuring a more positive experience for both them and their owners.

At Ketsie's, I pride myself on the fact that your dog receives my undivided attention in a calm, one-on-one setting. This approach has made all the difference. It warms my heart to see dogs arriving at my studio with wagging tails, excited for their visit – a stark contrast to the fear I’dseen elsewhere.

This commitment to personalized care means I intentionally limit the number of clients I take on. By not overbooking, I can ensure that every dog receives the dedicated time and gentle handling they deserve.

Connecting with so many wonderful pet owners has been the driving force behind Ketsie's. Your feedback, recommendations, and unwavering support are the reasons I get to do what I love every single day. My grooming studio is not just a place of business; it's a spacious, meticulously clean, and welcoming environment, fully equipped and ready for any pup that comes through the door – from the tiniest teacups to the largest gentle giants, including our beloved senior dogs. I strive to never turn a dog away and always aim to provide a caring solution.

This business model isn't just about being different; it's about being more efficient, more caring, and ultimately, providing the best possible experience for your furry family member.

As a special touch, every pup I groom leaves with a beautiful handmade, hand-sewn bandana or bowtie that I create myself! With a background as a seamstress, I pour love and care into making these highest-quality accessories.
