First and foremost, I want to thank each of you for choosing local and making my dream of running my own salon come true. I have enjoyed these past 4 years and will treasure the memories always. Thank you for trusting us with your pets and letting us pretend they were ours every 6-8 weeks. Every one of them is special and will be missed.
-Shena House, Owner
House of Paws, or HOP, Grooming is a locally-owned and operated dog grooming salon on the South side of Bloomington, IN established in 2022. Our owner, Shena House, earned a Bachelor's in Animal Behavior from the city's own Indiana University and has been a part of community for over a decade. All our groomers are either professionally trained at a grooming academy or trained in-house to ensure your pet is in good hands.
Our focus is on positive behavior and experiences here at HOP! We create a dog-friendly atmosphere to keep your pets feeling comfortable. Our open-concept salon allows dogs to interact with each other to allow them to play and help keep them relaxed. Don't worry, though, if your dog doesn't like other pups--we do have isolation areas and kennels. We offer toys, treats, relaxing music, and positive re-enforcement techniques to keep your dog's tail wagging through
their whole experience. A few of our clients have compared dropping off their dog at our salon to taking them to doggie daycare.
Thanks for taking the time to learn about us and we hope to meet you soon!
