Meet Samantha (Sam) – Certified Groomer & Pet Lover
Hi! I’m Samantha Rodriguez, the hands and heart behind Special Paws Grooming. I’ve been in the grooming industry for over 5 years, and I created this business to offer something different — calm, one-on-one grooming with genuine care.
As a certified Fear-Free groomer, I specialize in helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the entire grooming process. Whether your dog is anxious, elderly, or just needs a quiet environment, I tailor each appointment to fit their unique needs.
At my home studio, your pet will never be rushed, kenneled for hours, or treated like a number. I take my time to get to know every pup (and their human!), making sure they leave not only looking their best but feeling relaxed and happy.
My promise? No upcharges, no shortcuts — just honest, loving care from someone who truly gets it.
I can’t wait to meet your pet and help them feel (and smell!) amazing.
