Pau Pair Mobile Pet Spa · South Jersey
Your pet gets pampered. You don't lift a finger. We handle everything — directly to your home, on your schedule, whether you're home or not.
The Pau Pair Difference
There are other mobile groomers. There is only one team with this level of experience, this standard of care, and this obsession with getting it right. We built Pau Pair because we knew what exceptional looked like — and we refused to offer anything less.
"No one here picks up scissors to give a trim. We sculpt.
We shape. We enhance. We transform.
The coat is our medium, and every dog who sits on our grooming table leaves as a work of art."
Erin MacDermott · Founder, Pau Pair Pet Care
Your Journey With Us
The best things are never rushed. We read every application thoughtfully and personally — and we genuinely hope to meet you and your pet very soon!
Signature Spa Experiences
Three spa experiences — each building on the last, each available at every appointment. Your base price is determined at your Complimentary Consultation based on your pet's breed, size, coat condition, and the style you've chosen together. That base price is The Confidant. From there, the experience you choose is entirely up to you — and you're welcome to choose something different every single time, depending on how much you feel like spoiling your dog that day!
Feline & Specialty
Pau Pair is not a dog-only world. For the cats in your life — and for dogs who require something more advanced — we bring the same one-on-one attention, the same calm environment, and the same level of skill.
Feline Grooming
Cat grooming requires an entirely different skill set — different handling, different pacing, a different kind of patience. Most groomers won't touch them. We specialize in them.
Whether your cat needs a functional bath and tidy, a lion cut, a dino style, or something entirely their own — our Pet Stylists have the expertise, the calm, and the vision to make it happen beautifully. Every feline appointment is performed one-on-one in our private mobile spa, on your cat's schedule and terms.
Pricing is personalized — contact us to tell us about your cat, and we'll build the right plan from there.

Pau Pair was built on a foundation that most grooming companies cannot claim. Our founder has spent decades working alongside top winning show dogs and handlers — not observing, but participating at the highest level of the craft. That background is not a marketing detail. It is the reason our standards exist at all.
Our Elite Pet Stylists compete in grooming competitions, attend industry seminars, and pursue continuing education throughout the year. We are a team of lifelong students — genuinely obsessed with the craft, constantly raising the bar for what we're capable of, and bringing everything we learn directly back to the pets in our care.
For clients who require advanced work — hand scissoring, show-quality trims, hand stripping, coat carding, or breed-specific precision styling — we handle these separately and thoughtfully. Reach out directly so we can learn about your pet's history, coat condition, and goals before we begin.

Good Questions
No surprises. Every detail below is shared clearly before a relationship begins.
Here is what makes Pau Pair genuinely different — you never have to think about scheduling again. Every schedule is built from scratch at your Complimentary Consultation, around your pet's coat, their lifestyle, and what genuinely serves them best. Your full quarter is confirmed at once, your slot is protected, and we show up. That's it. No chasing availability. No starting over. Just consistency, built seamlessly into your life — and one less thing on your plate.
What that rhythm looks like is entirely personal. Some pets are on a two-week rotation — a neaten-up, a full groom, repeat. Specialty-coated breeds like Doodles, Poodles, and Bichons typically alternate between neaten-ups and full grooms every two to three weeks. Others are on a four-week full groom cycle and leave the van looking immaculate every time. Every schedule is built around the pet in front of us — not a template.
Appointment Window: Please allow a one-hour grace period on all appointment times. Mobile grooming routes can shift throughout the day due to unforeseen circumstances — your Pet Stylist will always be on their way, and we appreciate your flexibility.
We accept a limited number of clients per stylist.
When a slot is filled, it's filled. We encourage anyone considering Pau Pair to apply sooner rather than later.
At the time of your phone consultation, a 50% deposit is collected based on your pet's weight and selected service tier. This deposit reserves your Complimentary Consultation, which is booked as your first appointment.
Cancellations made more than 48 hours before your consultation receive a full deposit refund. Cancellations within 48 hours forfeit the deposit — however, unlike a regular grooming appointment, you will not be charged the full appointment fee. Once your Pet Stylist has visited your home, the deposit becomes non-refundable and is applied in full toward your first grooming appointment.
From your first appointment onward, our rolling deposit model applies — 50% of your appointment fee is collected at the close of each visit and applied automatically toward your next scheduled appointment. You are never pre-billed for multiple appointments at once. All clients are required to maintain a valid card on file at all times.
For individual appointments, our 48-hour cancellation policy applies. Cancellations made within 48 hours of a scheduled grooming appointment will forfeit the deposit held, and the full appointment fee will be charged.
For clients leaving the program entirely, a minimum of 30 days' written notice is required. With 30 or more days' notice, a cancellation fee of 50% of the total remaining appointment fees in the current quarterly cycle will be charged. With fewer than 30 days' notice, the full fee for the next scheduled appointment will be charged, plus 50% of any further remaining appointments in the cycle.
We are deeply selective about the families who join the Pau Pair family — and we give every single one of them our full focus, time, and attention. This policy exists to honor the Pau Pair Promise: to every client already in our care, and to the next one waiting for their spot. It allows us the time and care to fill a vacated slot thoughtfully, after all quarterly appointments have already been pre-booked.
Our standard pricing reflects pets who are maintained on a consistent schedule in good coat condition. If your pet requires corrective grooming, matting removal, impacted undercoat work, or extended handling time at any appointment, pricing may be adjusted to reflect the additional care required. Any adjustment will always be communicated before the service begins — never after.
Please note: In the event we are unable to reach you at the time of your appointment, we will allow a 15-minute window for you to return our call. If we are unable to make contact, your Pet Stylist will proceed with whichever service is deemed healthiest and most appropriate for your pet at that time. By joining the Pau Pair family, you agree to this policy and to pay the full amount for the service provided.
If something comes up on your end — illness, travel, or an unexpected conflict — please notify us as early as possible. Standard cancellation policies apply, and we will always do our best to work with you.
If we need to reschedule you — due to inclement weather, a stylist illness, or anything on our end — we will reach out promptly and work to get back to you as quickly as possible, including scheduling on one of our van's designated off days when necessary. Your appointment will not simply be lost.
The good news is that because every client is on a rotational schedule of six weeks or less, even the rare disruption that cannot be immediately rescheduled leaves your pet in a reasonable place. The consistency built into your quarterly schedule is its own safety net.
