Built for People Who Love Their Dogs

At Pet Inn Mobile Grooming, we understand that your dog isn’t just a pet — they’re family. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to deliver high-quality, compassionate, and convenient grooming services directly to your door. Serving Gainesville, Florida, and surrounding areas in Alachua County, we offer a premium grooming experience designed with both you and your pup in mind.

Our mobile grooming service eliminates the stress of drop-offs, cages, and chaotic salon environments. We bring the spa to your curb, creating a clean, safe, and calm atmosphere where your dog receives gentle, one-on-one care — every time.

Whether it’s a routine bath, a precise breed cut, or specialized services like de-shedding or nail trimming, Pet Inn is here to meet your dog’s grooming needs with love and professionalism.

Where Passion Meets Professional Grooming

Pet Inn Mobile Grooming was founded on a simple belief: every dog deserves expert care, and every owner deserves peace of mind. We combine the luxury of personalized, private grooming with the convenience of mobile service — giving Gainesville pet owners a stress-free alternative to traditional salons.

We’re not a chain. We’re not a franchise. We’re a local, woman-owned business built from the ground up with care, purpose, and passion.

Meet Alyssa — Founder, Groomer, and Dog Lover

My name is Alyssa, and I’m the founder and proud owner of Pet Inn Mobile Grooming.

I’ve been working professionally in the pet industry since 2011 and have lived in Gainesville, FL for many years. My journey started with a deep love for dogs and a fascination with how grooming could combine art, care, and trust all in one service.

I’m proud to be a Certified Pet Stylist, trained by The Paragon School of Pet Grooming, and have completed advanced certifications including:

  • Pet First Aid and CPR – American Red Cross

  • Animal Care & Handling – NYC Department of Health

  • Ongoing Grooming Education & Safety Courses

These credentials are important — but what truly sets my work apart is the personal connection I strive to build with every pet and owner. I believe grooming should be safe, gentle, and relationship-based, not rushed or transactional.

At Pet Inn, your dog isn’t just a client. They’re a companion, a personality, and a unique soul who deserves comfort and care.

The Vision Behind Pet Inn

When I created Pet Inn Mobile Grooming, I had a clear mission:

  • To provide elite grooming services without the chaos of a typical salon
  • To build long-term, trusting relationships with pet parents across Alachua County
  • To modernize the grooming experience with a focus on animal welfare and convenience
  • And to deliver results that leave both dogs and their owners happy, relaxed, and proud

Our mobile grooming van is fully equipped with the tools and technology of a professional salon — all sanitized, climate-controlled, and ready for any breed. Each appointment is tailored to your dog’s needs and temperament, ensuring they’re not just clean — they’re comfortable.

A Personal Welcome from Alyssa

A Personal Welcome from Alyssa

“Starting Pet Inn was more than a business decision — it was a calling. I fell in love with grooming because it allowed me to combine my creativity and attention to detail with my deep passion for dogs.

To this day, every client, every appointment, and every tail wag reminds me why I do what I do. I’m so grateful for the families who trust me with their pets and welcome me into their lives.

Whether you’re a new client or a returning friend, I want to personally thank you for supporting small business and for being part of our growing Pet Inn family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon!”

Warmly,

Alyssa
